took quite a long time before Dropbox – one of the most popular services offering a collection of files in the Internet cloud – responded to the offensive computing giants Google and Microsoft. As part of the paid service Pro offered a space about the size of 1 TB for the price of 9.99 dollar, or about 30 dollars.
Dropbox movement may seem a little late considering that his biggest competitors on the market drives cloud – Google and Microsoft – has already been severely reduced the prices their services. Back in March of this year. Google has offered 1 TB of space on the hard disk data Google Drive in exactly the same price as the current Dropbox – $ 9.99. In June, Microsoft followed suit by providing a free 1 TB of space on their servers for all users who purchase a subscription office suite Office 365.
The late reaction Dropbox to move the competition may seem late, but you can understand it. Firstly, according to data from May. Service was all over the world more than 300 million users, and the last 100 million came in just six months, from November 2013. And in this rapid influx did not prevent said the March price reduction made by Google. Dropbox did not have so afraid of losing popularity, although it did not have to mean big profits. Most of the accounts offered today drives cloud is assumed because the free option, which does not provide revenue. There is only a chance that you are gonna miss the free service at the end for more space for data and decides to take out a paid account.
It should be remembered that competitors Dropbox – both Google as a company Micorosft lead your business to a large number of fields. They therefore suggest low prices for cloud services, even if it will mean financial losses – are able to make up for it in their other fields that are involved. But for Dropbox introduction of the new offer must mean big expenses and to carefully consider the risks and potential gains and losses.
With the introduction of the new lower prices for their services Dropbox gave it available to users of the new tool. They concern mainly the security of cloud drives and the ability to share data collected there and teamwork over the files.
