The 2017 Dropbox for Business Standard plan, and the new Advanced plan, both only provide 120 days of file recovery.

Last year's Business Plan listed versioning as 'unlimited file recovery.' That meant you could go back for as long as the account had existed, and recover versions. This is in marked contrast to both the 2017 Business Standard and Advanced plans. But, if you want a year worth of versioning, you can add it for $39. Oh, and remember I said that not only did it cost more, but it offered less? That's next.įor the individual Plus plan, Dropbox offers 30 days of versioning. Yep, the new plan added a whole new digit to the cost. This year, at $240/year per user, you're paying $1,200 for those same five users. If you had five users last year with so-called unlimited storage, you'd be paying $750. With three users, the Advanced plan is $720 while last year's Business plan with five users was $750.īoth last year's Business plan and this year's Advanced plan offer 'unlimited storage,' which is Dropbox-speak for 'as much storage as we think you're really going to need, if you ask us nicely.' So, at least there's not a 2TB-no-matter-what ceiling in the Advanced plan, compared to this year's Dropbox for Business Standard plan.īut let's compare users to users. That means the base buy-in is a teensy bit less. But the new Advanced plan costs $240/year per user, instead of $150. The one good thing compared to 2016 is that you can get into the Advanced plan with only three users, compared to the required five for the 2016 Business plan.
