Comment Comment by aresant I recently upgraded to Dropbox @ $199/yr for 100gb to archive our digital photos.Yesterday MSFT skydrive offered 100gb for $50/yr.Today GOOG offers 400GB for $100/yr or 1TB for $256/yr.As a consumer with "offsite backup" in mind, there doesn't seem to be an inherently high switching cost to move services away from DropBox.As a result I think that they're going to need to reassess pricing strategy within the year.ref: Goog pricing https://accounts.google.com/b/0/PurchaseStorage?hl=en_US parent aresant 14 years ago
