It's a move that has been a long time coming, and one that Dropbox is making after several other companies like Box did so earlier in the year.ĭropbox's viability of a business now comes down to whether it can convince the most active of its 300 million users to pay for the services it can provide on top of a terabyte of storage, a locker so large that Wang said he was not expecting anyone to hit the limit any time soon. The new pricing model effectively marks the final shift of Dropbox being a company centered around cloud storage, to a company that is centered around the software that sits on top of that storage.
