I hope that they will change their business model in the future, so I can become a paying customer again.ĭISCLAIMER: You will lose the ability to read your pdf’s from within the Mendeley app on iOS or Android (but you could still do so using e.g.Mendeley has two components, Mendeley Desktop and Mendeley Web, which provide you with a reference management tool and access to the Mendeley Research Community. I guess this is one example of software as a service gone wrong. Sadly, I now have to resort to tricks, albeit legal, to keep the same functionality (a basic reference manager). If they would have provided 10Gb I would have payed, as the markup from my current quota is significant and a worthwhile upgrade. Given this hack and an ironic twist of fate they now miss out on my \$55/yr. This way you can bypass their rather questionable business model. The above hack will allow you to keep your references in sync using the Mendeley database, and platform while at the same time keeping your files in sync through your cloud storage service. # through Mendeley (and Dropbox), while your files keep in sync Ln -s ~/Dropbox/Mendeley\ Ltd./ ~/.local/share/data/Mendeley\ Ltd.

Sadly, I’m of the opinion the charge does not reflect the true value of the service.Īs such, for anyone who has cloud storage and does not want to pay extortion prices for pdf storage: In short, given the current state of cheap storage these price points are less than impressive, and it reeks of profit maximization using some user statistics and marketing parameters (at which price point are people likely to pay for a given feature). In comparison, a Dropbox account costs me \$100/yr for 1Tb! Even better deals are possible with a Google Drive account (however I like Dropbox’s integration and Linux support better). Given this large overlap their storage overhead should be smaller than before their acquisition by Elsevier, warranting a price cut not a price increase relative to other / previous services.

For a \$55/yr you now get a WHOPPING - 5Gb - of pdf storage space, a Pro plan goes for \$110/yr and an impressive 10Gb, while unlimited storage will cost you \$165/yr! Given that Mendeley is now owned by Elsevier, a dominant if not the biggest scientific publisher around, their database of pdfs can easily be reduced by an order of magnitude (as most files are already stored by Elsevier!). However, in the 3 years since I last payed, their storage offer has not kept up with the times.
