"Totally Unusable"

"Totally Unusable"

pkincy September 22, 2017  /  Version: Dropbox 35.4.20

2017-09-22 14:56:29  |  By pkincy

Pros

None that I can see unless it actually worked.

Cons

Simply does not work. You can upload files to it but than again you can do that to your computer or your device without the use of vulnerable cloud based products

Summary

Simply unusable. Doesn't do anything that I can see or use. Supposedly has a Public and a Private system but it doesn't. Also cloud based services like this take forever to upload or download. Computer based services are clearly quicker and safer.

Pros

For now it's the most convenient cloud storage that is oriented not only on getting profit, but on offering great service to its users. Fast, reliable and offers space for free - that's all that you need from a data storage account.

Cons

haven't faced any

"By far the best cloud app, technically"

2015-12-10 00:15:45  |  By BleauxMe

Pros

Fast, reliable

Cons

Not enough free space

Summary

I use cloud storage in real-time and I've evaluated OneDrive, Google drive, Copy and Dropbox. Dropbox is the *only* one that is completely reliable and breathtakingly fast. Both OneDrive and Google Drive can *destroy your data* by becoming confused as to which is the original version and which is the update. Copy is almost as good as Dropbox, but I get more run-time errors due to files "still syncing" with Copy than Dropbox.

Pros

Light, easy and secure multi-platform tool, what else can you require from an app like this?

Cons

Not much free space

Summary

Just the best cloud service for your files and apps. Recommend it for all my friends!

Pros

Easily accessed via PC or phone.

Cons

Accessing it from my phone hurts my eyes. The pictures need to be larger.

Summary

Several times I've thought I saved a document or picture on my phone but forgotten I had deleted it. With Dropbox set to automatically back them up it's saved me numerous times!!

Pros

Free,its easy to use. You can pick what and when you want to upload.

Cons

No Cons at all.

Summary

This saved me in the past. I used the built in cleaning utility on my LG G3.It wiped all my camera pics off my phone, I thought Oh Sh*T! Then I remembered my dropbox, it had saved all of them over 300 pictures.II would not be without it.I have the free version, if needs be I would pay for it.

"Truncates Large Files Without Warning"

"Truncates Large Files Without Warning"

CJB666 February 17, 2015  /  Version: Dropbox 3.2.6

2015-02-17 11:28:00  |  By CJB666

Pros

Allows uploading, downloading and sharing of small files only.

Cons

But DropBox is pants for large files. And because of this syncing is suspect. I have Windows 7 and an Acer Notebook. Using DropBox someone has shared three WAV files to my account; each is about 250MB. I have a hi-speed wifi connection but every time I try and download one of these all goes well until about 200MB - then the downloading stops. The implication is that the full download has succeeded but the file is actually truncated short - and without warning. It does appear that unlike other cloud sites, e.g. MediaFire, DropBox downloads are not restartable. DropBox is pants for large files.

Summary

Pants for large files - not fit for purpose.

Pros

Once your file is uploaded, it is very handy to simply provide a link to someone to share the file with.

Cons

Very slow upload - 3 to 4 hours for 311 mb video. Tried to share using e-mail, but set up for social media only. A fairly easy workaround is just copy the webpage URL and paste into a separate e-mail. I guess the best option is an overnight upload.

Summary

Not great but better than nothing and if you are happy with 2 GB total file storage, is free.
