A cloud storage and file sync service for backing up, sharing and collaborating on files.

About Dropbox

Dropbox stores files in the cloud and keeps them in sync across computers and phones. Desktop apps are available for Windows, Mac and Linux, with mobile apps for Android and iOS, plus a web interface.

You can share files and folders by link or by inviting people, and it can back up photos and documents from your devices. Dropbox has long been known for reliable sync, and it integrates with many third-party apps. The Windows package lists a licence described as combined GPLv2 and proprietary software.

The service has a free basic plan with a limited storage allowance, and paid plans add more space and features. The Google Play listing shows in-app purchases, and we do not quote prices here. An account is required. It suits individuals and teams who want dependable sync and sharing. If the free allowance is too small, compare the cost of paid tiers against other storage services before committing.

Editor's notes

The free allowance is modest, so check it fits your library before switching your workflow.
