Re:Dropbox (YC S07): Simple Tasks for Extra Space (768MB total) by bajsejohannes on Monday November 22, 2010 @01:34PM (#1930799)
Nice idea! Thanks for the extra space.

Here's a question: I'm very inclined to pay for Dropbox, but I don't actually need 50 GB - I use 1% of that now. On the other hand, I would absolutely pay the same amount for 10 GB for 5 years. It would give me the warm fuzzy feeling of giving back and I would feel safer with the service. Have you ever discussed this model? Any plans to implement it?

There is still a lot of work to be done on different pricing plans for sure.

Yeah, the best suggestion I would have to dropbox would be to charge more sooner. I would absolutely pay for the service, just through referrals, the student thing and extra space offers like this I'm never going to get to the point where I actually need extra space.

I'm sure many people that use dropbox like me to backup code, whole websites and writing/ uni work would feel the same way.
