About Dropbox
Dropbox is a cloud storage service for saving, syncing and sharing files. It is used by individuals, families and businesses that need files available across several devices.
What it does
Files placed in a Dropbox folder sync to the cloud and to every linked device. You can share files and folders with links or with specific people, collect signatures and review feedback. Previews cover many file types, and version history helps restore earlier copies. Connections to AI assistants let you search and summarise content from your files.
Key features
- File sync across computers and phones
- Large file sharing and shared links
- Version history for restoring files
- File previews for many file types
- Connections to AI tools for search and summaries
Who it's for
Freelancers, small teams and companies that work with shared documents and media. It is also used for personal backups and photo storage.
Pricing and good to know
Dropbox has a free plan with limited storage, and paid plans add more space and team features. Plan limits and sharing options differ, so check the pricing page before a large migration. Synced folders use local disk space, so pick which folders to sync on smaller devices.
