Immediately following that, Amazon did the me-too thing by dropping the cost of Amazon Web Services' Simple Storage Service (S3) cloud storage plan by 51 percent.

Google had already lowered the price of its 1 TB plan to $9.99 in March. Not a moment too soon for Dropbox to re-engage in the storage war. Turning that feature on also triggers the deletion of files on the missing device to happen automatically once that device is online again. If a user loses a mobile device, the owner can stop Dropbox syncing to that device by logging onto Dropbox from another computer or mobile device. One new feature that is sure to provide peace of mind is a remote-wipe function. Links to documents and folders can now be password-protected and given expiration dates on accessibility. In addition to the whopping increase in cloud storage space, new features are incorporated in Dropbox Pro, including 'view-only' permissions, which allow a client to view a presentation, for example, with no editing capability. Under the outgoing plan, subscribers could only get 500 GB, approximately half of that 1TB, for $49.99 per month.ĭropbox sees Dropbox Pro as ideal for freelancers, independent contractors, the self-employed, small businesses and small institutions and organizations. But for the professional user, for whom Dropbox Pro is configured, upping the storage allotment from 100 GB to 1 terabyte (TB) for the same $9.99 per month is a substantial attention-getter.
