Signup without explanation of features or cost?

I wanted to make the signup process as simple as possible. I am looking for a good way to show the user the pricing and features. Maybe I should show it after the signup? Thanks for trying it out :)

You should absolutely be up-front and transparent with your pricing and features, before requesting things from the user.

Why not show it before signup? I'm not giving anyone access to my Dropbox just because they ask nicely.

To be fair, it is asking for access to only a folder that itself creates.

Yeah, but it doesn't tell you that.

Dropbox tells you when asking for your permission.

Simple signup != signup without info.

Thinking the same thing, make it very clear why im linking my dropbox. The service seems great though :)
