Box alternatives at a glance
-
Dropbox
StorageCloud file storage and sharing.
They're playing the premium-but-accessible game — not the cheapest cloud storage option but positioned as the reliable, feature-rich choice that justifies paying more than Google Drive or OneDrive. Going after teams who want something better than basic but aren't ready for enterprise complexity.
Plans: Plus $9/mo per seat · Standard $15/mo per seat · Advanced $24/mo per seat
-
Backblaze
StorageAstonishingly easy backup and B2 storage.
Backblaze plays the simplicity card in a market full of usage-based storage pricing — think Carbonite or enterprise cloud backup vendors that scale cost with data volume. They're not the cheapest per-GB if you've got massive storage needs, but the flat unlimited model wins anyone who hates unpredictable bills.
Plans: Personal Backup $8/mo · Business Backup $8/mo · Enterprise Control Contact Sales
-
Internxt
StoragePrivate, encrypted cloud storage.
That 80% off framing ($1999 slashed to $399) screams discount/value player trying to look like you're getting premium storage for pennies on the dollar. They're clearly courting privacy-conscious individuals and prosumers who'd normally default to Google Drive or Dropbox but are lifetime-payment skeptics turned believers by the discount math.
Plans: Essential Contact Sales · Premium Contact Sales · Ultimate Contact Sales
-
Acronis
StorageCyber protection platform combining backup, recovery, and anti-ransomware security
Hiding all three tiers behind 'Custom' pricing signals a mid-to-premium enterprise play rather than a self-serve tool for small IT teams — they're competing for MSPs and orgs with real device fleets, not solo sysadmins swiping a credit card. No free plan or trial reinforces that this is a sales-assisted, contract-driven product going after Datto, Veeam, and similar backup-plus-security vendors rather than budget backup tools.
Plans: Acronis Cyber Protect Standard Contact Sales · Acronis Cyber Protect Backup Advanced Contact Sales · Acronis Cyber Protect Advanced Contact Sales
-
pCloud
StorageSecure cloud storage with lifetime plans.
The lifetime pricing angle sets them apart from Dropbox and Google Drive, who never let you stop paying — pCloud's $199-$1190 one-time fee undercuts years of subscription costs and appeals to people tired of recurring bills. They're not the cheapest month-to-month, but they're playing the long-game value card against subscription fatigue.
Plans: Premium 500 GB Contact Sales · Premium Plus 2 TB Contact Sales · Ultra 10 TB Contact Sales
-
Rewind
StorageBackups for SaaS data.
At $200-260/mo for 50 seats on a single platform, Rewind sits mid-to-premium in the SaaS backup space — pricier than basic cloud-to-cloud backup tools but justified by covering dev-heavy platforms like Jira, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps that generalist backup vendors often skip. They're going after engineering and IT teams running critical workflows on Atlassian or DevOps tools, not SMBs looking for a cheap Google Workspace backup.
Plans: Standard $200/mo per seat · Advanced $260/mo per seat
-
Sync.com
StorageZero-knowledge cloud storage.
Sync.com undercuts Dropbox and Box on a per-seat basis while still offering enterprise-grade compliance (via the Enterprise tier), positioning itself as the value play for security-conscious teams that don't want to pay premium-brand prices. They're clearly hunting teams that find Dropbox Business overpriced but still need real admin controls and compliance features, not just consumer-grade file sync.
Plans: Teams 1TB $6/mo per seat · Teams 2TB $9/mo per seat · Teams 10TB $15/mo per seat · Sync Enterprise Contact Sales
-
Veeam
StorageData backup, recovery, and resilience platform for enterprise workloads
Veeam plays premium-enterprise in the backup/DR space — it's not competing on sticker price against cheaper SMB tools like Acronis or Backblaze, it's positioned against Commvault and Rubrik for large, complex, hybrid environments. The all-custom pricing itself signals 'enterprise deal,' not self-serve SaaS.
Plans: Foundation Contact Sales · Advanced Contact Sales · Premium Contact Sales
