To get unlimited device syncing, Dropbox users will now have to upgrade to a "Plus" or "Professional" Dropbox account. The new three device limit will make Dropbox's free service less appealing to users, though it could spur upgrades. There has long been a free tier for Dropbox users, with no restrictions other than available storage space. Dropbox users who already have their account attached to more than three devices can keep them linked, but there will be no way to link additional devices when over the three device limit.

However, Dropbox is changing how linking works for free accounts and is now limiting this number to just three devices, as pointed out by Slash Gear.ĭropbox Plus and Dropbox Premium users will still be able to link an unlimited number of devices with their account.īasic Account users, who have reached their device limit, can change which three devices are linked to their account by first unlinking devices they don’t want on their account down to less than three, and then link the devices that they want.Īlternatively, when you install the Dropbox app on a new device, you will be given a list of older devices that you can remove from the three slots, taking up one of their places with the new installation.ĭropbox notes that for Basic users who have linked more than three devices prior to March 2019, all of their previously linked devices will remain linked, but they won’t be able to link additional devices.
