What does it cost?

Dropbox price: $15 per user per month (Standard plan, billed annually). Standard $15/user/mo billed annually ($18 monthly); Advanced $24/user/mo billed annually ($30 monthly). Standard corroborated from third-party reads; Advanced read from the vendor page. Source: vendor pricing page, checked 2026-11-10. Vendor site: Dropbox site. Put your plan's price into the estimator below if it differs.

Example values: replace every number with your own. SaaS price prefilled from Dropbox pricing, checked 2026-11-10; the other numbers are examples.

Self-hosting saves about $1,980 a year for 20 seats: SaaS $3,600 vs self-host $1,620 (server $144, backups $36, admin time $1,440). Break-even at about 9 seats at these numbers.

Functions differ: an open-source tool rarely matches every Dropbox feature. Self-hosting means you handle updates, backups and security. Sponsored plate: none yet. Advertise.
