Does $180/user/year seem excessively high to anyone else?
No, not at all. $180/user/year = $15/user/month.
In comparison, Salesforce Sales Cloud starts at $25/user/month, and Box for Business starts at $15/user/month.

#12Was anyone else hoping for reduced pricing? Neat features for businesses, but with recent price drops by Amazon and Google I was expecting Dropbox to follow.

not in the slightest.

For business use it is probably one of the cheapest "serious" SaaS price levels I have seen (e.g. go and have a look at what Salesforce charge per user per month).

Hoping? Yes. Expected? No. Dropbox never seems to compete on price. They've had the same pricing/storage options basically since they were founded many years ago.

#17Unless they drop the price soon we're going to move away from them. It sounds silly to argue over $15/user/month, but in comparison to Google Drive it's just started feeling too expensive.
I really like the product, but I don't know if any product in a commoditized space can sustain such a price premium.

#18The chatting while editing feature is great. This is something that has been missing versus Google Drive. The added benefit of using existing apps is very nice since you can be working on files that Drive does not support. Will have to take a look at this. Price wise though, it is a little high.

#19Did I miss the cost and signup page?

#20I wonder how the collaboration inside of applications works. Is there going to be a new API for integration?
Since dropbox knows which files are being worked on, I don't actually think it needs to be inside of the application, it could just as well be a standalone overlay. The "sneek peak" screenshot does indeed look like an overlay that pops up when you open a file and which tracks the collaborative status. It also seems like it adds messenging functionality, which I must admit looks neat - pointed messenging functionality…
Still right now if you edit the same file from different locations at the same time you will end up with conflicting copies. I wonder how/if they solved this.
