Excerpt

Dropbox offers four base-edition products. These editions are the Standard, the Advanced, the Advanced Server, and the Education. Concerning the editions Standard, Advanced, and Education, your customers can purchase three extra features (add-ons as Dropbox calls them) for most of those base-editions, namely, the "Extended Version History", the "Data Governance" and the "Creative ToolsReplay".

Our implementation combines the base-edition products with the extra features when purchasing Dropbox products for the first time. Otherwise, you can upgrade your existing base-edition products to the extra-featured Dropbox products that we offer. Consequently, the philosophy is that all licensed users enjoy the same functionality from those services. In the following sections of this page, you can find further analysis of the Dropbox services.

In addition to the Dropbox products, HelloSign offers two products in the same Service Manager.

Getting the Product Type for the Dropbox Services

The first step is to get the definition of Dropbox services. For doing this, you must run the "Get Services Definition" action on the Dropbox Service Manager instance settings page. This action will create the product types Dropbox Subscription and HelloSign in your BSS along with fifty (50) with 86 Dropbox products and four ( 4 ) add-ons, as well as the two ( 2 ) HelloSign products summed up into fifty-six (56) 'products' 92 products in total.

ℹ If you wish to check the results and/or logs of the Get Services Definition process, please check the 'Get Services Definition' Action - Non Microsoft page.

You are done creating the required Dropbox & HelloSign Product Types and/or updating the Service Manager with the latest functionality.

Upon the "Get Services Definition" successful process completion, you can locate its product type in BSS > Setup > Billing > Products > Product Types.

    products marked AC1M.

    the new Annual Commitment - Monthly Billed products.

    The existing/deprecated Annual Commitment, Billed Monthly DBOX products (unit=month) will not be changing since the Get Services Definition process cannot update them because we have deleted them from the GSD product list so that they are not created for new instances.

    HelloSign Products List

    The following are the HelloSign products, as they appear in the BSS:

    • Standard Monthly - Direct Purchase

    • Standard Annual - Direct Purchase

    Please note that the Product Type is HelloSign Subscription.

    Upgrade Paths & Mutual Exclusivity for Dropbox Products

    During the "Get Services Definition" process, two main elements are automatically created. These elements are the upgrade paths of the products as well as the mutual exclusivity between them. As a result, no action is necessary on your end.

    Certain subscription upgrades are possible, although the education Editions and the Advanced Server Editions are not upgradable. Also, there are five strict rules during this process:

    • The upgrades are possible between plans with the same billing cycle and the same billing frequency. A user cannot upgrade from a monthly to an annual subscription, or from an AC1M Annual Commitment Monthly Billed to a Annual Commitment Annually Billed Annually subscription.

    • A Standard Edition subscription can be upgraded to Advanced Edition or Advanced Server Edition, while the Advanced Edition can be upgraded to Advanced Server.

    • Dropbox plans with Data Governance can be upgraded to plans with Data Governance and Creative ToolsReplay.

    • Dropbox plans with Extended Version History can be upgraded to plans with Extended version history and Creative ToolsReplay.

    Therefore, Dropbox plans with Extended Version History and Data Governance are mutually exclusive services.

    Info

    For HelloSign products, upgrading from monthly to annual is currently not supported, and the two are mutually exclusive.

    Dropbox and Hellosign products are not mutually exclusive.

    Upgrades are effective immediately.

    We strictly recommend NOT to edit any of the automatically assigned upgrade paths or the products' mutual exclusivity relations. Otherwise, this will cause problems when subscriptions and orders are being executed.

    Dropbox Add-ons for "Advanced Server" Edition

    Since the add-ons assignment to their respective products is being done automatically during the "Get Services Definition" process, no action is necessary on your end.
    There are four add-ons linked with the "Dropbox Subscriptions" product type. All four of them, (two 10 TB Add-ons - Billed Annually or Monthly and two 50 TB Add-ons - Billed Annually or Monthly) provide additional storage and are exclusive to the "Advanced Server" Editions.

    Add-on Changes

    Any change to the add-ons, meaning cancellation or quantity change, is not possible. Also, only one additional storage add-on can be active at the same time; either the 10TB or the 50TB add-on. These add-ons are unique per account and a user cannot have both of them nor more than one of the same type.
