Small discretionary adjustments (100-200 GB or less) to personal quota may be possible for MIT projects, teaching, or research use. Simply sign up for MIT Dropbox to obtain 500GB of MIT Dropbox storage space. The default 500GB plan is included with your MIT Dropbox account. or not use the cloud at all).10 TB Faculty, lecturers, and Spring 2020 teaching assistants (Or I guess you could go to the trouble of encrypting everything you put into the cloud. If you're not, then maybe you want to pay real money for storage. If you're ok with having your data indexed and used by who knows what AI experiment - and especially in google's case, used for targeted advertising - then free is cheap. On the other hand, the existing free cloud storage companies - primarily Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive - are making you pay in other ways. They do include a "rewind" feature (get back old copies of your files) but it's limited to 30 days of history so it's not exactly what you'd call a backup feature (assuming you're comfortable with cloud backup at all). If you actually need 2TB, that's a "deal" (twice the storage for 20% more) if you weren't already pushing anywhere near 1TB, then effectively it's just a 20% price hike. I recently got a notification that the Dropbox Plus tier has gone from $9.99/month for 1TB to $11.99/month for 2TB (though there's a discount if you pay annually rather than monthly). But sheesh, I hate the idea of being forced to make changes.ĭropbox also changed their paid plans.
It's working fine for other syncronization duties. If I need to, I'll find another way to syncronize my passwords, even if I move that too to my Synology NAS. When did Dropbox go to 3 devices for the free account? That kind of sucks. But I still use Dropbox to host my eWallet syncro wallet, and want to update across the PCs and iOS devices.
If I really need to, I can transition those PDFs to my NAS and just host them there. One of the iPads is an only-at-home device and never leaves the house, but I did want to keep using it to access my various PDF user manuals for everything ranging from kitchen and office appliances to my software and game userguides. I can get rid of three obsolete devices, but I still have two laptops, an iPhone and two iPads. I even use DropBox for my eWallet updates.īut today, I noticed that my Laptop either didn't have the desktop folder (or it got uninstalled?), so when I reinstalled DropBox, I got a message that says I have to pay $119 per year or eliminate devices because the current limit is 3 and I have 7 defined.
For years I have had 4 devices regularly connected to and updating to/from DropBox.
