Dropbox is an online storage service that became famous many years ago for the quality of its services. Today, despite being such a good option, it has advantages and disadvantages if we compare it with its toughest competition: Google Drive, OneDrive and Mega.
Being such a simple service (storing and managing services in the cloud), the way to assess the quality and advantages of each of the options on the market is greatly simplified. The most important thing to consider is undoubtedly the free storage they offer and the tools they offer to manage that storage.
Advantages of Dropbox
- Allows you to share files with other people just by copying and pasting a simple link
- It offers special services for companies and work environments, with which to manage common files.
- It offers special services for companies and work environments, with which to manage common files.
- It has decent accessibility, with apps for Android and iOS ready to be used.
- The paid account ($9.99 per month) offers 1TB, above some other options, such as mega.nz, which offers 500TB.
Disadvantages of Dropbox
- It does not allow you to edit files online, which other options do offer.
- The free account only offers 2GB of storage, which is nothing compared to the 50GB offered by mega.nz for its free users.
In the end, the differences between competing services are minimal, so the choice of one of these services can be based purely on one’s personal tastes.
