If you need to use more than 3 devices, we certainly understand the frustration with an unexpected up-charge for the Dropbox Plus plan. Based on our experience and assessment, Dropbox is still the best choice - even though Dropbox will cost money now, when using more than 3 devices. Prior to the release of Reunion 11, Dropbox was the clear leader in these critical categories. Our only incentive (then and now) is to use a sharing/synchronizing technology that WORKS, that is stable, that is reliable. There is no kick-back or incentive from Dropbox.

In case there's any doubt, it's also important to know that we don't make one penny from Dropbox by using their technology in our apps. implementing Dropbox, or any file-sharing technology, to synchronize between desktop and device apps). There is substantial technical development and effort involved in making this work (i.e. It's also important to understand that building the file-sharing and synchronizing capability into Reunion and ReunionTouch is NOT akin to "flipping a switch" or changing a few lines of code. But, realistically, it may not be long until these competing file-sharing services have similar up-charges and/or device limits. Today, it's easy to point out that some competitors to Dropbox don't restrict the number of devices (such as Microsoft OneDrive, Box, Google Drive, or iCloud). The "Plus" plan does have several nice features, including vastly increased storage capacity (2 TB). The next step up from the Dropbox "Free" plan, is the "Plus" plan, which has no limit to the number of devices however, the Dropbox "Plus" plan costs $99 per year. So if you use a Mac, iPad, and iPhone, you're fine.īut if you use multiple Macs and multiple devices (more than 3 total), now Dropbox wants you to pay for the service.
#CHANGE DROPBOX PLANS FREE#
Unfortunately, that changed in March of 2019 when Dropbox began to restrict their free account to a maximum of 3 devices. Until recently, unless you had very huge family files, Dropbox was free and there was no device limitation meaning you could share your family file with multiple Macs, iPhones, iPads, etc., using just one Dropbox account. We developed the synchronization between ReunionTouch and Reunion 11 using Dropbox technology.Īt the time, we concluded that Dropbox provided the most reliable, most technically superior, most friendly, and most OS-compatible file-sharing service available. ReunionTouch, our mobile app, was introduced in April of 2015 (concurrent with the release of Reunion 11). Answers Dropbox now has a limit of 3 devices.
