But there's no way, even with my small two-person family operation, that we could use Dropbox for all our storage needs. I rely on my Plus account to keep all my main work-a-day document files in sync, and it works well. In the case of Dropbox, the actual technological solution is still quite viable.

But if you have a lot to store, you run into both transmission time limitations and what I call the 'cloud storage ceiling'. If your needs are minimal, it's a great idea.

one of the familyĬloud storage is turning out to be a mixed bet. Because neither Dropbox for Business plan will go back in time that far for you. If you're using the Business Standard or Advanced plan and you need to go back 121 days, you better have a DeLorean. I reached out to a Dropbox rep through chat and asked if it would be possible to upgrade the business account to what's called the 'Extended Version History' option in the individual Plus plan. The 2017 Dropbox for Business Standard plan, and the new Advanced plan, both only provide 120 days of file recovery. Last year's Business Plan listed versioning as 'unlimited file recovery.' That meant you could go back for as long as the account had existed, and recover versions. This is in marked contrast to both the 2017 Business Standard and Advanced plans. But, if you want a year worth of versioning, you can add it for $39. For the individual Plus plan, Dropbox offers 30 days of versioning.
