Dropbox lets you upload, save, and transfer photos and files to the cloud. Backup and sync your pictures, videos, documents, and other files to cloud storage and access them from any device, anywhere. With advanced sharing features, it’s easy to share and send photos or files to family, friends, and co-workers. Features: • Automatically upload videos and photos from your camera roll to cloud photo storage - all in the background - for easy video sharing and photo sharing. • Access any file in your account - even offline - and preview over 175 different file types with no special software required. • Easily send large files by copying and pasting a link you can give to anyone, even if they don’t have a Dropbox account. • Scan documents, receipts, IDs, photos, and more using your mobile device and transform them into high-quality PDFs, so you can view and send anywhere. • Sync folders on your PC or Mac to Dropbox with computer backup, and recover older versions or restore deleted files with version history and file recovery. Sign up now for your free Dropbox Plus trial. You’ll get 2 TB (2,000 GB) of storage space - that’s enough room to save files from all your linked devices. And with Dropbox Rewind, you can roll back any file, folder, or your entire account, up to 30 days. Before starting a trial or completing payment, you’ll see the plan price. This amount will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase and on renewal and will vary by plan and country. Dropbox subscriptions renew monthly or yearly, depending on your plan. Your account will be charged for renewal 24 hours before the end of your current billing period. To avoid auto-renewal, turn it off within at least 24 hours before your subscription renews. You can turn off auto-renewal anytime from your Apple ID account settings. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase. Dropbox is a secure cloud solutions leader trusted by Fortune 500 companies for their most sensitive data. Over 14 million paid users choose Dropbox because they know they can count on a company that’s also dedicated to their security and privacy—no matter what they do or where they are. Let Dropbox be your all-in-one file storage, file organizer, file transfer, and file sharing solution for all your devices. We’d love to hear from you!

We’d be lost without Dropbox—it’s an indispensable part of our digital toolbox. But for all its usefulness, the thing we appreciate most about this cloud-storage app is how little we have to think about it. Whether we’re sharing documents between devices, uploading photos directly from our camera, or emailing large files to friends, it all just works—seamlessly and effortlessly.

Dropbox used to be great, it’s been my go to storage choice for years. However, I can no longer recommend it. On my iPad Pro, it is unstable, janky, and highly frustrating to use. A second ago I was searching for a particular file to upload; when I started typing in the file, I received a Dropbox error message. This happens every time, and means I have to retype the file from 3 to over a dozen times ( I give up after 12 attempts).Another annoying issue is when trying to upload files in batches. If I wish to upload a group of files, even only a few, I get an invalid file name error. However, if I use the upload function from within Dropbox, the file name is magically no longer an issue. This is so frustrating that I have often considered cancelling my subscription after backing all my files up to alternative storage. I have thousands of files I wish to store, can you imagine how frustrating it is to only be able to upload them one at a time? Uninstalling and reinstalling do not fix the issues.There are several other issues I encounter that make me consider other options; I am waiting to see if things get fixed, else I might have to move. I don’t really want to as I have been a loyal Dropbox user for many years, but I need a reliable, easy to use storage option and at the moment, Dropbox is not it.

Had to subscribe to share photos temporarily with a user. A business. Cancelled within 5 days but they’re now demanding payment and asking me to cancel again, which you can’t do when you’ve already cancelled!Update after Dropbox reply… I cancelled via App Store as described and the status was correctly showing cancelled which I took a screenshot of but you emailed me at the end of the billing cycle, not involving Apple even though my payment details were there, saying you were unable to collect payment. That’s because I’d cancelled. So I contacted support and they simply refused to do anything and insisted that I needed to contact Apple to resolve it. There’s clearly a fault in the system so why should I have to do anything else on your behalf to report and resolve it once I’ve reported the problem. After contacting Apple they updated the cancellation to show cancellation happened one month later. So now I have two screenshots, one showing cancelled nin December and one showing cancelled in January. I’ll wait to see what happens in February!Further update after your 2nd reply, this time telling me to contact your support. Read my feedback again - I did and they refused to lift a finger to resolve the issue, just as you’re doing here by referring the problem somewhere else ethereal again.

Hey there, sorry to hear about that. Cancelling a subscription must be done through the platform it was started on. That said, we suggest that you reach out to our teams on our Official Online Community https://www.dropboxforum.com/, or on social media on X at @DropboxSupport, so we can take a look at this from our end. Thanks!

Fantastic File Management

I have been using Dropbox Plus now for some 5 years. It has been a fantastic tool for my small business as I can save all my files within folders on the Dropbox server and access them from any device, wherever I am working (I am a surveyor who travels to various sites daily). I also have the facility to save documents to view offline and edit / amend etc. I can also share files with my workforce, and export documents etc to suit. This software has been a fundamental part of running my business and I would definitely recommend it to small business owners.
