How much does Dropbox cost in 2026?

Dropbox pricing is structured around user tiers and storage capacity, with costs varying based on whether you're purchasing for individual use, a small team, or an enterprise organization. The platform offers both per-user subscription plans and custom enterprise agreements.

For individual and small team buyers, Dropbox publishes monthly and annual list pricing. For larger organizations (typically 50+ users), Dropbox moves to custom enterprise pricing that incorporates volume discounts, multi-year commitments, and negotiated terms.

Published list pricing (individual and small teams):

• Plus: $11.99/month per user (billed annually) for 2 TB of storage
• Professional: $19.99/month per user (billed annually) for 3 TB of storage and advanced features
• Standard (Business): $18/month per user (3+ users, billed annually) for 9 TB pooled storage
• Advanced (Business): $30/month per user (3+ users, billed annually) for unlimited storage and advanced admin controls

Enterprise pricing:

Dropbox does not publish enterprise list pricing. Costs are quoted based on user count, storage requirements, contract length, and specific feature needs. Enterprise agreements typically involve annual or multi-year contracts with volume-based discounting.

Based on anonymized Dropbox transactions in Vendr's platform, enterprise buyers often achieve pricing below published list rates, particularly when committing to multi-year terms, larger user counts, or prepayment structures. Discounting patterns vary by deal size, timing, and competitive context.

Benchmarking context:

Vendr's transaction data shows percentile-based pricing for Dropbox across different team sizes and contract structures. See what similar companies pay for Dropbox to understand where your quote sits relative to market outcomes.

What does each Dropbox plan cost?

How much does Dropbox Plus cost?

Pricing Structure:

Dropbox Plus is designed for individual users and costs $11.99/month per user when billed annually ($143.88/year), or $19.99/month when billed monthly. The plan includes 2 TB of storage, file recovery for 180 days, and basic sharing controls.

Observed Outcomes:

Plus is a consumer-focused plan with limited negotiation flexibility. Buyers typically pay list pricing, though Dropbox occasionally offers promotional discounts during seasonal campaigns or for annual prepayment.

Benchmarking context:

For teams evaluating individual plans, Vendr's analysis can help compare Dropbox Plus to alternatives like Google One or Microsoft OneDrive. Compare individual storage plans to determine which offers better value for similar storage and features.

How much does Dropbox Professional cost?

Pricing Structure:

Dropbox Professional is targeted at freelancers, consultants, and power users. List pricing is $19.99/month per user when billed annually ($239.88/year), or $24.99/month when billed monthly. The plan includes 3 TB of storage, advanced sharing controls, and full-text search.

Observed Outcomes:

Like Plus, Professional pricing is relatively fixed for individual buyers. Discounting is uncommon outside of promotional periods, though annual prepayment can reduce effective monthly costs.

Benchmarking context:

Vendr's pricing data helps buyers compare Professional to business-tier plans (Standard, Advanced) to determine whether upgrading to a team plan offers better per-user value at scale. Get your custom Dropbox price estimate.

How much does Dropbox Standard (Business) cost?

Pricing Structure:

Dropbox Standard is the entry-level business plan, requiring a minimum of 3 users. List pricing is $18/month per user when billed annually ($216/user/year), or $20/month per user when billed monthly. The plan includes 9 TB of pooled team storage (expandable with purchase), team collaboration tools, and basic admin controls.

Observed Outcomes:

For small teams (3–25 users), buyers often pay close to list pricing, though volume and multi-year commitments can yield modest discounts. Larger teams (25+ users) moving to Standard from individual plans sometimes negotiate below-list pricing.

Benchmarking context:

Based on Vendr transaction data, small teams committing to multi-year terms commonly achieve pricing below published rates. See what similar teams pay for Dropbox Standard to understand how team size, contract length, and timing influence final pricing.

How much does Dropbox Advanced (Business) cost?

Pricing Structure:

Dropbox Advanced is designed for growing teams that need unlimited storage and advanced security features. List pricing is $30/month per user when billed annually ($360/user/year), or $32/month per user when billed monthly. The plan includes unlimited storage (with fair use policies), advanced admin controls, tiered admin roles, and integrations with tools like Slack and Zoom.

Observed Outcomes:

Advanced is where negotiation flexibility begins to increase. Buyers with 25+ users often achieve below-list pricing, particularly when committing to multi-year terms or annual prepayment. Volume-based discounting is common for teams exceeding 50 users.

Benchmarking context:

Vendr's transaction data shows that Advanced buyers with 50+ users commonly negotiate below list, with larger discounts available for multi-year commitments and competitive leverage. Explore Dropbox Advanced pricing benchmarks for percentile-based pricing across different deployment sizes.

How much does Dropbox Enterprise cost?

Pricing Structure:

Dropbox Enterprise is a custom-priced plan for large organizations (typically 100+ users) requiring advanced security, compliance, and integration capabilities. Pricing is not published and is quoted based on user count, storage needs, contract length, and feature requirements. Enterprise agreements typically involve annual or multi-year contracts.

Observed Outcomes:

Enterprise pricing varies widely based on deal size and negotiation approach. Buyers often achieve pricing well below Advanced list rates on a per-user basis, particularly for large deployments or multi-year commitments.

Benchmarking context:

In Vendr's dataset, enterprise buyers with competitive leverage and multi-year commitments commonly achieve pricing significantly below published rates. Get percentile-based Dropbox Enterprise pricing for your specific deployment size and contract structure.

What actually drives Dropbox costs?

Dropbox pricing is influenced by several key factors beyond the base per-user subscription rate. Understanding these cost drivers helps buyers budget accurately and identify negotiation opportunities.

User count:

Dropbox charges per active user, so total cost scales linearly with team size. Volume discounts typically begin at 50+ users and increase at higher thresholds (100+, 250+, 500+).

Storage requirements:

While Advanced and Enterprise plans offer unlimited storage, Standard includes 9 TB pooled storage with additional capacity available for purchase. Organizations with heavy storage needs may face add-on costs or be pushed toward higher-tier plans.

Contract length:

Multi-year commitments (2–3 years) often unlock lower per-user pricing compared to annual contracts. Dropbox incentivizes longer terms with volume-based discounting and prepayment flexibility.

Billing structure:

Annual prepayment typically reduces effective monthly costs compared to monthly billing. Enterprise buyers can sometimes negotiate quarterly or semi-annual payment terms, though this may reduce discount depth.

Add-ons and integrations:

Dropbox offers add-ons like Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign), advanced security features, and API access. These can add 10–30% to total contract value depending on usage and deployment scope.

Renewal timing:

Dropbox pricing can increase at renewal, particularly if the original contract included promotional discounting or if the buyer's usage has grown. Buyers who engage early in the renewal cycle and evaluate alternatives often achieve better outcomes.

Benchmarking context:

Vendr's cost analysis tools help buyers model total cost of ownership across different Dropbox plans and contract structures, accounting for user growth, storage needs, and add-on requirements. Model your total Dropbox cost.

What hidden costs and fees should you plan for with Dropbox?

Beyond the base subscription cost, several additional fees and cost drivers can impact total Dropbox spend. Buyers should account for these when budgeting and negotiating.

Storage overages (Standard plan):

Dropbox Standard includes 9 TB of pooled storage. Teams exceeding this limit must purchase additional storage blocks, which can add $50–$100/month per TB depending on contract terms. Heavy storage users may find it more cost-effective to upgrade to Advanced or Enterprise.

Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign):

Dropbox Sign is sold separately and is not included in standard Dropbox plans. Pricing starts at approximately $15–$25/month per user for basic e-signature functionality, with higher tiers for advanced workflows and API access. Organizations requiring e-signature capabilities should budget for this add-on.

API and developer access:

Advanced API usage, custom integrations, and developer tools may require additional licensing or usage-based fees, particularly for Enterprise customers building custom workflows or integrations.

Migration and onboarding costs:

While Dropbox does not charge migration fees, organizations moving from another platform (e.g., Google Drive, Box, OneDrive) may incur internal IT costs for data migration, user training, and workflow reconfiguration.

Support and professional services:

Standard and Advanced plans include email support, but priority or phone support may require an upgrade to Enterprise. Professional services (e.g., deployment assistance, custom training) are typically quoted separately and can add 5–15% to first-year costs.

User growth and true-ups:

Dropbox contracts often include true-up provisions that require payment for additional users added mid-contract. Buyers should negotiate favorable true-up terms (e.g., quarterly reconciliation, prorated pricing) to avoid unexpected costs.

Renewal price increases:

Dropbox may increase pricing at renewal, particularly if the original contract included promotional discounting or if market list pricing has risen. Buyers should engage early in the renewal cycle to benchmark pricing and negotiate renewal terms.

Benchmarking context:

Vendr's total cost analysis helps buyers model hidden costs and fees across different Dropbox plans and contract structures, ensuring accurate budget planning and negotiation preparation. Calculate your total Dropbox cost.

What do companies typically pay for Dropbox?

Actual Dropbox costs vary significantly based on team size, contract structure, and negotiation approach. While Dropbox publishes list pricing for small teams, larger organizations often achieve pricing below list through volume discounts, multi-year commitments, and competitive leverage.

Small teams (3–25 users):

Small teams purchasing Standard or Advanced plans typically pay close to list pricing, though annual prepayment and multi-year commitments can yield modest discounts.

Mid-market teams (25–100 users):

Mid-market buyers have more negotiation flexibility, particularly when evaluating alternatives or committing to multi-year terms. Buyers with competitive leverage or renewal timing pressure often achieve below-list pricing.

Enterprise organizations (100+ users):

Enterprise buyers typically negotiate custom pricing well below published list rates. Volume-based discounting, multi-year commitments, and prepayment structures commonly yield significant savings, with larger discounts available for deployments exceeding 500 users.

Observed patterns:

Based on anonymized Dropbox transactions in Vendr's platform, buyers who engage early, evaluate alternatives, and leverage competitive context often achieve meaningfully better pricing than those who accept initial quotes. Multi-year commitments and annual prepayment are the most common levers for unlocking discounts.

Benchmarking context:

Vendr's pricing benchmarks provide percentile-based pricing for Dropbox across different team sizes and contract structures. See what similar companies pay to understand where your quote sits relative to market outcomes.

How do you negotiate Dropbox pricing?

Dropbox pricing is negotiable, particularly for mid-market and enterprise buyers. Based on anonymized Dropbox deals in Vendr's dataset, the following strategies help buyers achieve better outcomes.

1. Engage early and evaluate alternatives

Dropbox is most flexible when buyers engage 60–90 days before a decision deadline and demonstrate that they are actively evaluating alternatives like Google Drive, Box, or Microsoft OneDrive. Competitive context creates urgency and increases discount depth.

Buyers who mention specific alternatives (with credible evaluation timelines) often achieve better pricing than those who negotiate in isolation.

2. Anchor to budget constraints

Dropbox sales teams respond well to clear budget constraints. Buyers who anchor early to a specific budget range (ideally below the initial quote) and tie approval to hitting that number often unlock additional discounting or flexible payment terms.

Vendr data shows that buyers who frame budget as a hard constraint (rather than a preference) achieve better outcomes, particularly when tied to fiscal year timing or board approval cycles.

3. Commit to multi-year terms

Multi-year contracts (2–3 years) are one of the most effective levers for reducing per-user pricing. Dropbox incentivizes longer commitments with volume-based discounting and prepayment flexibility.

Buyers committing to 3-year terms often achieve lower per-user pricing compared to annual contracts, with additional savings available for annual prepayment.

4. Negotiate favorable true-up and growth terms

Dropbox contracts often include true-up provisions for mid-contract user additions. Buyers should negotiate favorable true-up terms, such as quarterly reconciliation, prorated pricing, or discounted rates for additional users.

Competitive benchmarks:

Vendr's transaction data shows that buyers who negotiate true-up terms upfront avoid unexpected costs and maintain pricing consistency as teams grow. Access true-up negotiation tactics.

5. Time negotiations around fiscal periods

Dropbox's fiscal year ends in December, with quarterly closes in March, June, September, and December. Sales teams face pressure to close deals before these periods, creating negotiation leverage for buyers with flexible timing.

Buyers who align decision timelines with Dropbox's quarter-end or year-end often achieve better pricing than those negotiating mid-quarter.

6. Leverage renewal timing and competitive pressure

Renewal buyers have significant leverage, particularly if they engage early (90+ days before renewal) and demonstrate willingness to evaluate alternatives. Dropbox is motivated to retain customers and often matches or beats competitive pricing to avoid churn.

Buyers who present credible competitive quotes or demonstrate active evaluation of alternatives often achieve renewal pricing at or below their original contract rates, even in inflationary environments.

What payment terms does Dropbox offer?

Dropbox typically requires annual prepayment for business plans, though enterprise buyers can sometimes negotiate quarterly or semi-annual payment terms. Payment flexibility varies by deal size and buyer creditworthiness.

Standard payment terms:

• Small teams (3–25 users): annual prepayment required; monthly billing available at higher per-user rates.
• Mid-market teams (25–100 users): annual prepayment standard; quarterly or semi-annual terms sometimes available for established customers.
• Enterprise organizations (100+ users): annual prepayment standard; quarterly, semi-annual, or net-30/60 terms negotiable based on deal size and credit review.

Prepayment discounts:

Dropbox incentivizes annual prepayment with lower per-user pricing compared to monthly billing. Multi-year prepayment (2–3 years upfront) can unlock additional discounting, though this is less common and typically reserved for large enterprise deals.

Based on Vendr transaction data, buyers who negotiated quarterly payment terms often accepted higher per-user pricing compared to those who prepaid annually, reflecting Dropbox's preference for upfront cash flow.

How does Dropbox handle mid-contract user additions (true-ups)?

Dropbox contracts typically include true-up provisions that require payment for additional users added mid-contract. True-up terms vary by contract and should be negotiated upfront to avoid unexpected costs.

Common true-up structures:

• Prorated pricing: new users added mid-contract are charged a prorated rate based on the remaining contract term.
• Quarterly reconciliation: user counts are reconciled quarterly, with invoices issued for net additions.
• Annual reconciliation: user counts are reconciled annually, with payment due at renewal or contract anniversary.

Negotiation opportunities:

Buyers should negotiate favorable true-up terms upfront, including:

• Discounted true-up rates: apply the same per-user discount to mid-contract additions as the original contract.
• Quarterly vs. annual reconciliation: quarterly reconciliation provides more predictable cash flow and avoids large year-end invoices.
• Growth bands: negotiate tiered pricing that automatically applies volume discounts as user count increases.

Based on Vendr transaction data, buyers who negotiated discounted true-up rates and quarterly reconciliation avoided unexpected costs and maintained pricing consistency as teams grew.

Negotiation guidance:

Access true-up negotiation tactics to ensure favorable terms for mid-contract user growth based on Vendr's playbooks.
