We are in a grey area - between really needing to pay for a much more expensive team account and being crippled by the free account.
That's not a grey area. You're a business -- apparently a business which finds it difficult to pay $0.30 per employee per day, but a business nonetheless. If you can't afford a business input, you don't get to use it.
More broadly, to everyone on HN quote has business pricing for their goods/services: if HNers won't pay it that is not a problem. Charge more. Most businesses will not give $0.30 per day per employee a second thought for anything which provides non-trivial value to them.
- samstave 15y agoI disagree, the value we get betweeen free and what we really need is not equal to $120 per year per employee. I think you have a bit of a bias because you're coming from the side that dropbox is on, where you have a service you sell. I sit and use the service daily, along with my colleagues and to get the few extra gigs per needed does not == $100+ per month. I think there is another offering option which would meet more needs, maybe the one I proposed is wrong, as was pointed out - but the need is not wrong. I think I have seen you say "charge more" a lot on HN - while this sounds like "no nonsense" business confidence -- it alienates users who don't find you service to be worth what you think its worth. If, to you, that means "fuck those users - who wants em" then that's ok - but don't blame users who hold your services at different values than you do.
