Amazon has a 1 year subscription to dropbox for $99, which isn't great. But you get a $50 Amazon GC. Essentially making it $49 for one year at 1TB.

I just activated the Amazon deal and was able to extend a current subscription. I contacted support and basically, one code is "stored" until the current year is up. The subscription on the new code automatically renews.

In the past Dell deals, I was able to stack them for multiple years without any issues and this process worked perfectly - even when my account subscription page did not show the correct date.

If you activate multiple codes, I would recommend contacting support just to make sure that they are all "loaded" just in case.
Yes, the few critical documents you absolutely should not lose (eg financial documents) is less than 100 Mb. However, I also store:

Spotlight images archive (from the Windows 10 lockscreen, downloaded via the free app Spotbright) is 0.8 GB
Archive of GoPro clips, as well as clips from YouTube videos is 4.0 GB.
Music archive is 30 GB.
OneNote archive is 1 GB
Archive of video lectures purchased several years ago, but no longer available online is 10 GB
Misc installation files (eg ISO), software utilities, and settings archives 200 GB

Yes, the bulk of my Dropbox storage consists of non-critical files. Yet, a lot of time was invested in collecting them, a lot of which are no longer readily available. Not only is it convenient to access this data in the cloud (eg at work or on mobile), but it is an archive in case my Bitlocker encrypted laptop ever is damaged, lost, or stolen.

Storing personal files on the cloud also makes switching to a new computer more straightforward. No more digging through random folders trying to make sure you've collected everything.

Most importantly, Dropbox's paid services have version history, which is not only invaluable for documents, but also accidental deletions. In the last month, I've had 2 mass deletions/overwrites of files, which were recovered via Dropbox. 1) Accidentally deleted Videos folder (god damn LightScreen), 2) Borking the Spotlight archive every time I used Spotbright.

As power user who can fully leverage Dropbox features, the $50-100/yr for Dropbox is worth it. Nothing against casual users who can make do with Google Drive/Gmail's free 15TB GB.
TL;DR: Yes

Found this post on the old Dell/Dropbox thread which said "Yes, you can use these to extend an existing subscription. Yes, they are stackable."

https://slickdeals.net/f/10811407-1-year-dropbox-plus-digital-subscription-1-user-25-dell-egift-card-59-99-free-shipping?p=107231047#post107231047

Another thread discussed how in July this year, Dropbox implemented better online UI to show your existing licenses.

My experience just now, I bought 3 and two were activated onto my existing yearly Dropbox Plus subscription. My third code is still pending on Amazon. I do not have EVH on my account. Proof: https://i.imgur.com/gAYu3dx.png

Amazon gift card balance cannot be applied to this bundle. If you see the option to use your gift card balance, stop the checkout process. You accidentally added the non-discounted Dropbox license to your cart.

The codes are added to your Amazon software library in 5-10 minutes. The gift card is a physical item that will be shipped. On the Amazon "My orders" page, the Dropbox code is listed as $49 and the gift card is listed as $50, however "Single items cannot be canceled from discounted bundles." Too bad.

Note: This license is not compatible with the Extended Version History $39 paid add-on to the Dropbox Plus subscription.

Thanks for this. I confirmed with dropbox support that the codes are stackable with the exception of version history add on, it can mess things up for that. I also have confirmed that it works on my account. I purchased two years with the same Amazon account as two separate orders.

In for one. It said it was 99 bucks but my card was only charged 52.55. ANd that is what the amazon order shows. That includes the tax and it says it is shipping me a 50 buck gift card as well arriving tomomrrow? Is this only going to cost me the tax? That would be more than sweet! Waiting to see.


Edit:

Well the other charge just came thru. Still a good deal.

Looks like Dell is not having their annual Black Friday $59.99 with a $25 e-gift card promo this year. I've been getting that for years right around this time. Definitely not worth waiting to see if and when they do to save a potential $15 with their deal.

Well, for starters, I back up my music library. I have been maintaining this for about 15 years, and it's grown to around 150 GB.

Now, admittedly, having a music library in 2018 is a little archaic. Plus, there are free options for storing music (like Google Music).

However, there are still other uses for Dropbox. I have a lot of devices -- around 5 computers. Personally, I find syncing files between computers to be WAY easier with Dropbox than using a flash drive. First of all, my flash drives always go missing, and second off, sometimes my computers aren't easy to access (i.e. hidden behind furniture).

For the longest time I thought paying for Dropbox was silly, but the more use it, the more dependent on it I become. I use it for lots of things... backing up phone data when I get a new phone (pictures, etc), storing important documents, my music library, etc... I have around 350 GB used.

By the way, Dropbox has a cool feature called "Selective Sync", which allows a given computer to only sync a subset of files from your Dropbox library. So maybe you have 300 GB total in your Dropbox account, but on your laptop you only care about 20 GB of that data -- with Selective Sync, you can ignore the other 280 GB. (Selective sync works based on folders/subfolders.)
