6 users included: how Dropia.io changes the game for SMEs

The world of cloud storage is in full revolution. While industry giants continue to charge for each additional user, a new approach is emerging: inclusive multi-user plans. With its 6 users included from the basic plan, Dropia.io disrupts traditional models and finally gives purchasing power back to SMEs.

The problem of user-based billing

A punitive logic for growing businesses

User-based billing has long been the norm in the cloud. Dropbox charges €15 per user per month, Google Workspace €5.75, OneDrive €4.20. For an SME of 6 people, this represents between €300 and €1,080 per year, just for cloud storage. This approach directly penalizes business growth.

The negative psychological effect

When adding an employee automatically means increasing the cloud bill, SME leaders think twice before hiring. This logic turns each hire into a double investment: salary + technology costs. Innovation becomes a hindrance to development.

Administrative complexity

Managing user-based billing requires constant oversight: who has access to what, how many active users this month, should we suspend the account of an employee on leave? This administrative complexity diverts entrepreneurs from their core business.

Dropia.io's revolutionary approach

One plan, a complete team

Dropia.io breaks the mold with a unique plan at €19.90/month including 6 users. No more complicated calculations, no more unpleasant surprises on the bill. A team of 6 people accesses all collaborative tools for less than €240 per year.

The freedom to grow

With 6 users included, SMEs can finally develop calmly. Hiring a salesperson, bringing on a designer, integrating an intern: everything becomes possible without impacting the cloud bill. This freedom is invaluable for growing businesses.

Accounting simplicity

A single fixed amount each month drastically simplifies accounting management. No need to track active users, no more unpredictable variations. Leaders can finally budget their technology costs accurately.

Revealing economic comparison

The real cost for a team of 6 people

Let's compare the annual costs for a team of 6 collaborators:

Dropbox Business Standard: €15 x 6 x 12 = €1,080/year Google Workspace Business Starter: €5.75 x 6 x 12 = €414/year OneDrive Business Plan 1: €4.20 x 6 x 12 = €302/year Dropia.io: €19.90 x 12 = €239/year

The savings are substantial: up to €841 per year compared to Dropbox, equal to 2 months of salary for a junior.

The competitive advantage

This price difference can represent a decisive competitive advantage. The €841 saved can finance training, equipment, or marketing activities. For an SME, every euro counts.

Immediate return on investment

With such savings, the return on investment of migrating to Dropia.io is immediate. Even accounting for migration time, the annual savings more than justify the change.

Impact on team collaboration

Dramatization of collaborative tools

When the cost per user is no longer a hindrance, all collaborators can access the same tools. No more shared accounts, budget exclusions, or workarounds. The entire team works with the same means.

Natural inclusion of stakeholders

With 6 users included, SMEs can easily integrate their external partners: accountant, freelance designer, consultant. This openness improves collaboration and facilitates exchanges.

Equality of access to resources

In a user-based billing logic, some collaborators only have limited access due to budget constraints. With Dropia.io, all team members benefit from the same level of access, fostering equality and collective performance.

Organizational flexibility

Adaptation to variable teams

SMEs often have teams with variable configurations: interns, freelancers, occasional consultants. The 6-user plan fits perfectly with this reality without financial penalties.

Simplified rights management

No more need to calculate whether adding a user is cost-effective. Leaders can focus on the real questions: does this person need access to the documents? The answer becomes purely operational, no longer financial.

Controlled scalability

For teams exceeding 6 users, Dropia.io offers transparent scalable plans. Growth remains smooth and predictable, without harsh threshold effects.

Testimonials from user companies

The future of cloud pricing

Towards the democratization of inclusive plans

Dropia.io is initiating a trend that could revolutionize the market. Other players are beginning to question the punitive logic of the price per user. This evolution directly benefits SMEs.

The importance of pricing transparency

Companies are tired of unpredictable bills and hidden costs. Pricing transparency is becoming a major selection criterion, especially for organizations with constrained budgets.

Adaptation to new forms of work

Hybrid work, extended teams, occasional collaborations: these new realities require adapted pricing models. Multi-user plans respond perfectly to these challenges.

Tips for optimizing your plan

Annual savings

For a team of 6 people migrating from Dropbox, the annual savings reach €841. This amount can finance:

• 2 professional training sessions

• 1 entry-level laptop

• 3 months of digital marketing expenses

• 1 month of intern salary

Impact on cash flow

This savings directly improves the company's cash flow. For an SME, it's often the equivalent of an additional month of margin.
