And you get all folders downloaded as zip files rather than the way they were (if you download 500GB you'll need another 500+GB drive space to unzip it.), and occasionally we would get things that failed to download or end up as corrupted zips, usually when Dropbox tried to be too smart about the file formats. Low download rates can happen there, too, we had that from time to time. My last employer used Dropbox Plus for almost everything and it mostly worked like you'd think it would. Lastly- I don't want to push them, you're free to use Dropbox. Its business may not be sustainable with such low feesīackblaze actually has the advantage that it is a pure cloud storage company that is publicly listed, meaning that you can review their earnings reports a) yourself b) without all relevant info censored as 'Other activities' (hello, AWS). If you have a particular concern about their service or offers you can try to contact them - they're on Reddit and on this sub, if you prefer that over speaking with their sales/ new accounts people. If you get the right plan and don't try to mess with making the personal full machine client do things you haven't licensed it to do it's pretty straightforward. How about content delivery network? I assume Google may have more servers around the world and google workspace or AWS S3 might be faster.īut the quality of service is apparently questionable How about privacy terms? I assume Google is more evil. So my question is, is Dropbox Plus 2TB/month a good deal? As far as I know, there are no hard limits on rates or daily usage. Wasabi charges for deleted files, AWS transfer out is too expensive, and so on. For example I heard the restore may take a lot of time, it can be slow, there might be rate limits, poor clients etc. For 2TB, that’s 100$!īackblaze might be cheaper, but the quality of service is apparently questionable, and its business may not be sustainable with such low fees.

With pay as you go plans, providers charge egress fees for data taken out of the cloud, which can be quite expensive for example 0.1$ per GB. Online drive is 10$/month, for 2 TB, flat fee, in a bundle. In contrast, Google workspace offers 2 TB of storage for 12$ per month (plus more perks).īasically, the prices have seemingly consolidated.

Dropbox offers 2 TB of storage for $10 per month.
