Dropbox<\/a> is finally getting competitive with its subscription pricing. Users can now get 1TB of storage<\/strong> for $9.99 per month<\/strong> or $99 if you pay for a year<\/strong>. Before today’s price drop, Dropbox users could only get 500GB for the same price. To make things easy, Dropbox is only offering Pro users one plan.<\/p>\n

Google also offers 1TB of storage for $9.99 per month but doesn’t offer the option to pay for a full year of service. Google also offers many more options with the cheapest plan<\/a> costing $1.99 per month for 100GB. You can get up to 30TB of storage for $299.99 per month.<\/p>\n

Microsoft offers 15GB of OneDrive storage for free but also provides a subscription<\/a> for 100GB for $1.99 per month. OneDrive doesn’t offer 1TB of storage for consumers, but does offer it for businesses for $2.50 per month per user.<\/p>\n

In addition to pricing changes, Dropbox Pro offers new sharing controls<\/strong>. You can now create passwords for shared links to make sure only authorized people have access to your files. You can also set a timer for shared links to expire.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Dropbox offers a remote wipe feature<\/strong> in case you lose your laptop or phone. Dropbox will delete all your files on that device when triggered. This is a nice additional layer of security, even though Find my iPhone and Android Device Manager also feature remote wipe.<\/p>\n
