Buying guide
Product and Plan Guidance
US file-sync company whose consumer plan sells 2 TB with published compliance certifications.
Choosing the Right Plan
Dropbox Plus is a one-person storage plan with 2 TB, connections across devices and a 30-day window for restoring deleted files. Its transfer feature allows files up to 50 GB. Those limits distinguish everyday storage, recovery and outbound transfers: buying enough space does not remove every limit on sharing.
A fresh September 10 visit returned an Australian-dollar annual storefront, rather than a confirmed US monthly offer. No new US price is asserted here. Compare Plus with a one-person Microsoft plan on a matching currency and billing term; an annual cost obtained by multiplying a monthly-looking display is not necessarily an available annual offer.

Pros and Cons
What we liked
- Publishes SOC 1/2/3, GDPR and HIPAA support, which most consumer rivals here do not
- Dropbox Rewind can roll an entire folder or account back after a ransomware event
- Transfers up to 50 GB and unlimited linked devices
- A free 2 GB tier makes the client easy to test
What we did not
- No client-side encryption: Dropbox holds the keys to the files at rest
- $9.99 a month for 2 TB is roughly double the per-terabyte price of the cheapest providers here
- No yearly price is published on the plans page, so the annual discount is unknown
- The free tier is only 2 GB

Plus 2 TB (monthly)
Historical USD9.99/month observation for Dropbox Plus, one person with2TB,30-day recovery and transfers up to50GB. A later official-page capture served an AUD annual offer; it neither verifies this old US price nor proves it invalid. Retain the original observation date. No annual commitment or new USD price is inferred.

pCloud publishes named certifications or an independent audit.
100 GB with a 5 GB file-size limit and built-in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace integration.
