Changing Dropbox Plans: A Guide to Inviting Family Members

Dropbox's Family plan is an excellent way for families to share files, collaborate on projects, and access important documents from anywhere. As a Family manager, you have the ability to invite family members to join your plan, but did you know that there are different ways to do so? In this article, we'll explore the various methods of inviting family members to your Dropbox Family plan.

Firstly, it's essential to note that once a member accepts your invitation and joins the plan, their name and email address will appear under 'Your family' with their status. This is a great way to keep track of who has joined your plan and who still needs an invitation.

To invite family members using an email invitation, follow these steps:

1. Click on your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner.

2. Sign in to your Family manager account.

3. Enter the email address of the family member you want to invite and add a note if you like.

4. Click 'Get a link instead' and share that link with an email or other message.

Alternatively, you can also invite family members using a link. This is a convenient way to send out invitations without having to worry about email invites getting lost in spam filters. To use this method:

1. Click on your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner.

2. Sign in to your Family manager account.

3. Click on 'Get a link instead' and share that link with an email or other message.

If family members don't already have their own Dropbox account, they can create one when they accept the invitation to join the Family plan. If a member had a Dropbox Plus or Professional plan before joining the Family plan, their individual account will be refunded for the prorated cost of their original plan.

Once a family member joins the plan, they will have immediate access to the shared storage space and features of Dropbox Family. As the Family manager, you can invite new members and check the status of invites at any time.

In conclusion, changing Dropbox plans is easy with these simple steps. Whether you're using email invitations or link invitations, you can quickly add family members to your plan and start sharing files and collaborating on projects today.
