Pricing for nonprofits
Dropbox offers discounts on team plans to nonprofits and schools. A team admin requests terms through the admin console.
Review for nonprofits
Dropbox is a cloud file storage and sharing service nonprofits use to keep grant proposals, donor records, board papers, and program files in one secure, centralized place.
The nonprofit route discounts team plans, but Dropbox publishes no percentage or eligibility detail: a team admin requests terms through the admin console. Organizations already on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 may find this duplicates their included storage.
Typical nonprofit uses:
- Share program files and grant documents across office and remote staff.
- Distribute board papers and meeting materials securely.
- Send large files to partners with shared links.
Pros:
- Confirmed nonprofit discount path on team plans via the admin console.
- Simple, widely understood sharing model with file recovery and previews.
- Free Basic tier (2GB) for individual or trial use.
Cons:
- No published discount percentage or verification steps: terms require a support conversation.
- Easy to duplicate if the organization already pays for Workspace or Microsoft 365 storage.
