With a minimum of three users, you’re looking at $45/mo for 500 GB-but you also get the expanded functionality. Now, if you upgrade to Business, you get 500 GB to share among all of your users. It does not give you access to features only available to Business users. Note: This only adds storage space to your account. This comes out to about $2 per 5 GB per month. You can go up to 25 GB for $9.99 a month and 50 GB for $19.99 a month. You can read more about it in our Dropbox for Teams review.īox.net gives Personal users 5 GB for free. There’s also a semi-secret Dropbox for Teams account that starts at $795 a year (~ $66.25 a month) with 350 GB to share among five users. Pro users also get the Pack-Rat feature, which saves all earlier and deleted versions of your files forever, instead of deleting them after 30 days.

That comes out to about $1 per 5 GB per month. Throttled uploads, no document version history, no desktop syncĭropbox, as I mentioned, keeps it simple. Box.net Feature/Pricing Comparisonīasic: 30-day version history/undelete Pro: unlimited version history/undelete (“Pack-Rat”) But it’s still worth mentioning the price of upgrading, because someday, you might want to. For this review, I’ll only be talking about what you can get for free. The biggest omission from the free Box.net account is the desktop sync feature. The Box.net Personal plan, on the other hand, is very much a “ lite” version of Box.net Business ( see feature breakdown below). The Dropbox Basic account is pretty much full-featured-you don’t get much extra functionality by upgrading, just more storage. Pricing and Plansĭropbox and Box.net both have a free version that offers 2GB and 5 GB of cloud storage, respectively. These differences are even more pronounced in the respective free versions, which we’ll be comparing and contrasting in this groovyReview. Box.net on the other hand, is more of an online workspace that focuses on web-based collaboration, in the vein of SharePoint and Google Docs. In a nutshell, the Dropbox service revolves around the concept of the magic pocket-you put something in your Dropbox folder, and it’s there for you whenever you need it, where ever you need it, be it offline, online, at work, at home or in a coffee shop, on their website etc.
