A Free and Outstanding Cloud-Based Storage Solution

What is most valuable?

Dropbox is a cloud storage platfrom that I have been using since its launch. Dropbox is an outstanding platform that offers users the following pros: *2 GB of free storage *Easy, quick download and installation *iOS and Android mobile applications *Capability of storing multiple forms of media

What needs improvement?

The only con to Dropbox is now there is a competitive platform, Google Drive, that offers users 5 GB of free storage and syncing capability with other Google services. "

Good review by conor.
However i see one downside of dropbox is that DropBox company will keep a copy of all your documents and you can never be sure are they going to remove the files completely even at your request.
