Still about 2X the price of Google Drive, but close enough to make me not switch which I had been considering.

The auto-backup of pictures from my iPhone was such a killer feature it finally made me go all-in on DropBox and pay-up for the 50 Gb plan.

I've heard Google Drive best described as "Dropbox for those whom time is free".

I had really hoped this would happen in response to competitors like Google Drive. Now it's hear and I can only say: YAAAY!!

I'll repeat it, for the billionth time: Dropbox is one of the companies that has drastically changed computing for me over the last few years. I absolutely adore it, and I simply cannot understand the many people who do not use Dropbox to host everything. All of my important, non-computer-specific files are in Dropbox, all of my projects are in Dropbox, all of my photos, all of my documents - in short, everything I care about is in Dropbox.

I haven't had any problems with it yet (as a single user); I have had weird problems with dropbox when shared with lots of users actively editing files (conferences). Not really apples to apples comparison, true.

Why would you announce new prices prior to the new price page launching? I immediately went to see the new pricing options only to be met with the same old prices.

They squandered my click-through this blog post earned.

I really wish there was a plan between free and 50G (now 100G). Kudos foe the increased storage though.

Not having the pricing page live yet is kinda weird.

> or those of you who need even more space, a brand new 500 GB plan is also joining the posse!

Do they mean that it's happening in the future? I don't see the plan on the pricing page.

My problem with Dropbox is that they aren't good custodians with my data. The password glitch could happen to anyone, but Arash's nonchalant original response was pretty shocking, and Dropbox haven't integrated anything like two-factor authentication.

When I have to double authenticate in order to play Diablo 3, but I don't for all my data, I find that odd.
