Dropbox is a cloud file share. Actually it keeps a local directory in sync. Regrettably, Dropbox recently limited the free plan’s capabilities to a total of three devices, making it less attractive for “little stuff”. Looking at the pricing, for medium sized and specific use-cases, there are many alternatives … every larger IT-enterprise offers alike solutions: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, you name them. Your choice depends on your situation and use-case.
I loved Dropbox, but:
- now that they reduced the number of devices, the free plan is not working for me anymore.
- they got no reasable small-scale offer, you need to stay on the free plan or rent a terabyte.
- for that, on my use-case, the costs are too high.
Dropbox did have a lot of features, though:
- versioning/backup of files
- seamless integration to your OS: Windows & MacOS
- apps for iOS and Android
- Web-Interface for other platforms
The again, the others basically offer the same.
You may get along with the free amount of storage (at the time of this writing it is 2GB, I think). You may extend to a TB so you don’t need to think about what you store. Check the offer, make your own decisions.
Myself I will turn towards Microsoft 365 and I am not too happy to say that!
