It is true that there is a limited storage space on the free plan. However, there are various things an individual on a free plan can do in order to get extra space free of charge. For instance, every time a user refers a friend to use the cloud storage service, they receive more megabytes of storage space.

There is something I find nagging about Dropbox; this might be an advantage to other users. Whenever I plug in an external media to my computer, this program instantly detects photos available and a message pops up asking If I would like to export them to my dropbox folder. I not need or use this feature, hence it is a bother to me.

Stable and scalable, offering great performance; lacks sufficient storage and security

The solution is stable.

Dropbox is the easy to use tool by default available for almost all platforms, the only Cons is the unsecure code.

Valuable Features:

Easy to use - Flexible - Available for almost all platforms Only recommended for End Users (Domestics)

Room for Improvement:

Unsecure - Poor app support

Other Advice:

Dropbox is the easy to use tool by default available for almost all platforms, the only Cons is the unsecure code. Many of my homeusers customers love this service. But they don´t realize about the secuty issues reported in the past.

I have a question for you, if you can help me. After dropping off some files in Dropbox, can I see a list of the files that I’ve dropped off? Thank you.

Better than other similar tools. I use it daily.

Valuable Features:

Easy to use. Like the mobile app. Sync is fast. Secured.

Room for Improvement:

More free space needs to be provided. Shared users should not be allowed to delete files. Recovery system for deleted files.

Precise yet effective review by the author, agree with author on few points like shared users shouldn’t be allowed to delete the shared files. And yes the synchronization of the data between the shared devices is too quick and very intuitive. And one more feature to add is the, alert for modified files when the system is started and connected to the internet.
