Well, they don't just have the $240/yr plan. And file sharing isn't quite as sophisticated as you might think - it passes the grandparents test.

I wish Dropbox would have a smaller priced tier (like $5/mo). The free plan is more than ample for my needs, but I like to pay for premium service from companies I use to support them. But $10/mo is a bit steep in comparison to, say, the value I get out of Netflix streaming for $10/mo.

I think Netflix isn't the best thing to compare things to. It's absurdly cheap for what it is, and they might not even be able keep it at that price point (undervalued, and the content companies know it).
