Along with the 2TB of storage shared among family members, each person also has access to the a shared folder called the "Family Room." Here, you can keep everyone up to date with files and documents that need to be shared among the family.
Like with other family plans for cloud storage services, each person will have a separate account for personal files despite being covered by one plan with one bill. Each family member will also get access to Dropbox Passwords for managing logins, along with computer backup to sync important files from your PC, and automatic camera uploads.
