The native integration also means that there’s little in the way of setup-if you have an Apple device, you’ll already have an iCloud account, and all the software you need to start storing your files is built in. It’s easy, for example, to set up a folder structure on Finder, which will back up to iCloud, or to synchronize photos from your iPhone’s camera roll with the Photos app across your devices. It seamlessly integrates with the way Macs, iPhones, and iPads organize files. ICloud is a particularly well-designed service if you use Apple devices. iCloud has a maximum file size of 50GB, whereas, with Dropbox, you can upload files up to 50GB via the website or up to 2TB via the desktop or mobile apps. You can upload to either using the desktop app, mobile app, or web browser interface. With both iCloud and Dropbox, the process of uploading and syncing files is generally simple and easy. In the meantime though, existing Dropbox users will be given a free Pro 100 trial to spread around in an attempt to convert their friends and family to the ways of the cloud.Dropbox saves previous and deleted versions of files (Image credit: Apple, Dropbox) 02. The updated plans will go live on the Dropbox site later tonight, and the process of converting all those paid users’ plans is expected to run until tomorrow morning. Sorry all you free users - there’s not much in the way of good news for you today, but you can still bump up your free capacity a bit by uploading your photos. Once it goes online though, that new tier will be as high as users can go before getting into business-oriented Team territory.
On the off-chance that you’re a lone (and determined) file hoarder, Dropbox plans to push a new 500GB plan live as well - no word yet on how much that will set you back. As GigaOM points out, that puts the total amount of storage on those tiers (before referrals and the like) at 102 and 202GB respectively, since the original plans factored in the 2GB of free storage that’s open to everyone. Users of cloud storage service Dropbox seem to agree, which is why the company revealed that it would be significantly bumping up the amount of storage space available to its paying users at no extra cost.Īccording to Dropbox’s official blog, the company will be replacing their 50 and 100 GB tiers with 100 and 200GB tiers for free. Considering the sheer amount of data people produce every day, there’s really no such thing as having too much storage space.
