Understanding Dropbox Costs for Personal Use

When it comes to using Dropbox, understanding the costs associated with personal use can be crucial. As a student at the University of Oregon (UO), you may have received an invitation email from Dropbox to join your UO team and access their cloud-based file storage service.

For those who already have a personal Dropbox account using their UO email address, there are two options to consider when joining the UO Dropbox service. Firstly, you can choose to 'Create new account' if you want ongoing access to your files even after leaving the university. However, please note that your account will only be active while you're affiliated with the university.

On the other hand, you may prefer to combine accounts and take advantage of UO's no-cost service. This option allows you to decide whether you want to move your Dropbox account into the UO team.

For those who have never had a Dropbox account using their UO email address, the invitation email will say 'Join your University of Oregon teammates on Dropbox Business.' Simply click the blue button that says 'Join your team' to get started.

It's worth noting that all UO students will have Dropbox access by September 18, 2020. If you haven't received an invitation email, you can still activate your Dropbox account without one.

So, what is Dropbox? In simple terms, it's a cloud-based file storage service that allows you to sync files from your computer or mobile device and easily share files with others. With this service, you'll be able to access your files anywhere, anytime, making it an ideal tool for collaboration and organization.

By understanding the costs associated with personal use of Dropbox, you can make informed decisions about how to manage your account and ensure that you have ongoing access to your files.
