“Not published” means we did not find a renewal price stated by the vendor on the date we checked. It is not a claim that the price changes on renewal, and it is not a claim that it doesn’t.
Dropbox Plus is 2 TB for one person. The page shows it two ways: $9.99 a month with the “Billed yearly” toggle on, and $11.99 a month with it off. Prepaying is a single $119.88 charge; paying month to month is $143.88 across a year, so the toggle is worth $24.
At $59.94 per terabyte per year prepaid, Dropbox is priced to the penny alongside Apple and Google for the same 2 TB. Three companies with entirely different businesses have landed on exactly the same number, and it is the number a 2 TB plan costs in 2026 unless you go looking.
The free tier is the outlier: 2 GB, against 5 GB from Apple and Microsoft and up to 15 GB from Google.
Dropbox states no renewal price on the plans page.
