Walnutcrew vs Dropbox
Dropbox charges for each person on the team. Walnutcrew charges once for the whole company, with unlimited users. Here is what that means in dollars, and where Dropbox is still the better choice.
What it costs your company
Dropbox's team plans are priced per user: Standard from one person, Advanced from three, with team storage that grows with each person. Walnutcrew is one price for everyone; you choose it by how much you store.

Which one fits
Dropbox is the better fit for
- Small teams with a lot to store. Dropbox Standard starts at 3 TB for the team and adds 1 TB for each person, so a few people get a lot of space for less than Walnutcrew's bigger plans.
- An Android app today. Walnutcrew's Android app isn't out yet.
- Audits and integrations. If you need published security certifications or a long list of third-party integrations, Dropbox has them; Walnutcrew doesn't hold certifications yet.
Walnutcrew is the better fit for
- Everyone, one price. Add part-timers, contractors and the front desk; the bill depends only on storage.
- A way back. Every file keeps its last 25 versions (100 on Business and Pro), and deleted files wait 30 days in the trash.
- Links you control. Expiry dates, passwords, a limit on downloads, and upload links that collect files from customers into one folder.
- Office files in the browser. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files open and co-edit in the browser, and every save is a new version.
