Dropbox Plus review

Dropbox Plus is a strong single-user plan for people who move a lot of files between computers and phones. Dropbox's plan page lists 2 TB of storage for one person, connections across all devices, 30 days to restore deleted files and transfers of files up to 50 GB. Plus also includes PDF editing, unlimited self-signing and three signature requests a month, which helps when household paperwork needs a signature. Dropbox lists 256-bit AES and SSL/TLS encryption, multi-factor authentication, document scanning and remote device wipe on every plan. The trade-offs for home users are clear on the same page: Plus covers only one person, the free Basic plan gives just 2 GB, and recovery is limited to 30 days, compared with 180 days on the Standard business plan. Dropbox showed local currency from our location, so we list the USD price as pending. Families who want one shared plan get more for their money with Google One or iCloud+.
