Dropbox is a cloud storage service. It syncs files across your devices, lets you share files and folders with anyone, and adds team folders and admin tools on business plans.
Dropbox Transfer sends large files by email or through a download link you share with recipients. You can set expiration dates for shared links and get download notifications that confirm delivery, and on some plans you can also add a password after uploading. Selective sync and online-only files free up space on your hard drive while the files stay in your Dropbox account. Dropbox says you can restore or recover anything in your account for a limited time.
Dropbox pitches its service to individuals, families, freelancers and solo workers, and teams. For families, Dropbox says it can serve as one central place to store files from all the devices in your home. Teams get a central space to store, create and give feedback on files. Related products include Replay for reviewing and approving videos, Dropbox Sign for requesting signatures and DocSend for sending documents and tracking activity. Paper lets you organize projects with timelines, to-dos and tables.
Dropbox connects with tools such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, which you can use without leaving Dropbox. The Dropbox Business API supports third-party security, compliance and administration solutions, and only admins can enable them. Developers can add file storage, sharing, previews and search to their own apps, with SDKs for Swift, .NET, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C and Python. A developer forum handles questions about the API.
