'Others offer the base, but really nobody has the same breadth of features and functionality as Dropbox Pro,' he said. Speaking about the new offering, Dropbox Head of Product ChenLi Wang said the upgraded Pro service was ideal for 'educators, designers, marketers consultants' as well as 'the millions out there' who wanted 'powerful sharing'. Lost computers can have shared files wiped. If their device is stolen, users will be able to log into their Dropbox account on any other computer, 'unlink' their computer and ensure files are deleted from the lost device. Shared links can now be set to expire.įor those that sync Dropbox's cloud storage with specific folders on their computer, Pro customers will now be able to remotely wipe this shared folder. Users will also be able to create 'Edit' or 'View Only' permissions for those accessing shared files. Users will now be able to add password-access to shared links as well as expiration dates - Dropbox says this feature is valuable for users such as professional photographers who want clients to pay for images after a certain date. In addition to the new pricing structure, Dropbox is rolling out a number of new security features for customers.

Now, despite the doubling of storage from the top tier, Dropbox Pro customers will be charged $9.99 per month for 1TB (£7.99, AU$10.99). In recognition of the greater storage needs of Dropbox Pro users - the paid service is billed as a more advanced option for prosumers compared to the entry-level free service - Dropbox has upped storage to 1TB for Pro customers. The changes will be available to all new Dropbox Pro users as of today, with the added features rolling out to existing Pro users over the coming days. Dropbox is boosting its feature set for Dropbox Pro users, adding passwords and expiration dates for shared links and remote wipe capabilities, as well as unifying plans into a single offering.
