Amazon Prime Day: Dropbox Plus (1 TB Storage) for 1 Year, $79.20


Amazon has a 1-year Subscription to Dropbox Plus – 1 TB of Storage for $79.20. Dropbox is rarely discounted!

The subscription increases your storage at Dropbox to 1 TB (from the free 2 GB.) That’s enough to create a complete cloud archive for most photographers. Last time this deal was offered, Dropbox support said this could be used to extend an existing subscription: “If you have an existing Plus or Professional subscription and redeem a license key, your Plus or Professional billing cycle associated with your license key will automatically start on your next renewal date. You will not be charged again until the Plus or Professional billing cycle associated with your license key expires.”

B&H Today Only: WD 8TB Elements USB 3.1 Hard Drive for $149


For today only, B&H Photo Video has the WD 8TB Elements Desktop USB 3.1 Gen 1 External Hard Drive for $149.95. This is a fantastic price for a 8 TB harddrive.

We don’t know which hard drives are inside this enclosure, but WD hard drive deals have been especially popular because WD has in the past used either “Red” or “White” 8 TB Western Digital hard drives inside these external drive enclosures. With previous models, the drives could be removed from the enclosure and used in a NAS, for significant savings over buying the ‘bare’ drives alone.

You can also consider the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8TB External Desktop Hard Drive + 2mo Adobe CC Photography for $139.99 from Amazon Prime Day deals.
