I'm not a business, I'm a paying customer on the most expensive personal tier. It's silly that they don't offer this feature for me. I also can't upgrade to a business plan because those require at least 3 users.

It just feels like feature gatekeeping to me, but no way for me to pay more to get this feature. But I also understand that personal users are not Dropbox's main focus.

A Synology/QNAP/TrueNAS NAS is a far better solution, with no restriction.

We all are probably guilty of falling for the convenience trap here or there. But setting up the sync between Dropbox and the NAS (Synology user here) with a one-way, don't delete, don't overwrite policy is a good lifeline to have - you know, just in case...

[redserk]

I'm a big advocate for running a NAS, but using a service like Dropbox means there's one fewer personal device that needs babysitting.

QNAP does not seem secure at all, IMO its not worth it. I have not used the others you mentioned.

You would still need somewhere to do off site backups to.

(Edit: changed offline to offsite)

Isn’t that what a Synology offers? An offline backup?

[msh]

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I meant offsite.

If you want encryption enough, you can probably pay for a three-person business plan and just not set up the extra users. Looks like it would double your monthly subscription over the most expensive personal plan.

Its says: The latest security features will be available to all Dropbox Advanced, Business Plus, and Enterprise customers starting today.

Is dropbox advanced a business plan?

[artdigital]

Advanced is their business offering - https://help.dropbox.com/plans/advanced-plan

Apple does offer this
