Dropbox: Cloud & Files Storage
Ratings & Reviews
App Store Editors’ Notes
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.
It’s easy to access and save and share files. It allows you to share all documents organised how you like at once and allows files which are too big the shared and accessed by the person(s) you share them with as well as for the other person(s) to amend or add any files that they wish’s to be shared with you to the same folder, allowing you and any other person(s) authorised to access the folder to access and amend same immediately this occurs.It solves the issue of not being able to share files which are too big to email and keeps all shared files organised how you like, so all persons with access see the same thing and you can readily refer the the name and location any any file in the folder that you wish to discuss with the other person(s) which everyone can access at the same time to view.It makes collaboration on files for legal matters easy.
I have been using Dropbox for a very long time. I have even introduced other people to the joy of Dropbox. I love it when I want to send documents to other people who don’t have Dropbox but the can still open the document! I think that’s amazing.Recently I got a message from Dropbox to say that it was full. I tried paying for an update but for some reason Dropbox would not accept my new credit card which is the only one I have! ( I had to get a new credit card because my credit card was scammed!) I did write a note to Dropbox, but I didn’t get a reply! Breda
I love Dropbox and have used it for years for all my file storing needs. I would love to see a more intuitive and user friendly app upgrade so that sorting and deleting files/pictures could be easier. I use Dropbox to upload my photos automatically from my iPhone but I can never move more than maybe 20 photos at a time into the folder that I want them to go into which means I have years to catch up on as it’s so time consuming. If I leave the app it then freezes the next time I go into it. Hoping for improvements asap as I store everything here and am trying to organise all my photos by month and year and currently it takes too long.

Dropbox is a lifesaver. I can find any document from anywhere in the world and I can access from any device or even a library computer. All my travel documents, passports and receipts are at hand at the touch of a fingertip. I have saved so much money by being able to bring up a receipt for a warranty or faulty goods long after the paper copies have faded. A quick photo, save to Dropbox and throw away the paper. A great filing system. Dropbox transfer is amazing for sharing huge documents, particularly when transitioning to online collaboration during COVID.
I use dropbox to store important documents, photos and videos, sharing and accessing them from a multitude of devices.All I want added to this service is a select all button in an album on iPhone when uploading images, I could be uploading upwards of 150 photos from specific sites to individual folders and having to select every photo individually is both time consuming and can lead to photos being missed in the process.Additionally background uploads on iPhone would also be great but I understand that may be out of your hands
BUGS: When there are photos to be uploaded, even with the badges-notification turned on, there’s no badge-number on the icon.In the Account tab, under Camera Uploads, when switching “Upload Videos” off, there’s no change in the description underneath. Please fix.PROS:Very reliable, does what it’s supposed to without any fuss.Syncs fast across my devices.Has the option to make files available offline.Updated version now uploads the edited version of a photo, instead of only the original version.Regular updates to squash bugs and improve the experience.HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER:In Account-Settings, change “Cancel” to “Done.”Allow it to search for two words in the search bar, not just one.Provide more options for upgrades to Plus. I currently use around 8GB, so I don’t need the 1000GB option. A 100GB option would make sense.CONCLUSION: An essential app for file backup and storage. If you liked this review, please long-press it and mark it as “helpful.”
Developer ResponseHey there, Special Agent Sunshine! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this great review.We’re happy to pass on your suggestions to our Mobile and Product teams for review. About the number of files remaining to upload, being shown on our icon, this should be there. If you wouldn’t mind, we’d like for you to get in touch with our support team so they can check this with you, and get our specialists involved if necessary. Cheers!
I’ve had Dropbox for a few years and would like to upgrade to a paid plan however. My friends send me music collaboration files in messenger app, text message on iPhone and when you click the link it asks to continue to the app or continue to website. If you continue to Dropbox app it takes you to the apple App Store to install the app which I already have so you click open and your Dropbox app opens but no link or file and then you have to click goto website which is just a pain. If somebody send you a link to a file in their Dropbox why the hell can’t you simply open it in your own Dropbox app. Why involve the App Store when you already have the app. Because of this I won’t upgrade.

Since a friend introduced me by sharing a link about Dropbox for a file I need about 6 years ago, I have adapted the name and brand. Thanks for that. Seeing how it’s has grown to be involved when I started working with other devices, Dropbox kindly supported my digital storage needs on the go, now even better allowing me to keep track as proof evidence of PDF files of websites (for collaborative purposes) I read In Safari on the iPad is awesome so thank you for following me on my digital journey.
I have close to 100 photos I shared with myself - I run a photography Instagram & like to edit the photos, watermark & upload them via my phone - I sent them to myself after uploading them from my camera to laptop, and now I have to click each one in the folder individually to “export” them to my phone. Surely there’s a better/quicker way where I can select either all in the folder, or just the folder from my files & “export all” to my phone? It’s so incredibly time consuming, but it’s the only way I can do things. I have some very powerful editing apps on my phone, and nothing on my laptop (it’s a work laptop anyway!) so there is no way I can do all the work via my laptop.
Developer ResponseHi there,Thanks for your feedback!We’ve logged this with the appropriate dev team for them to view. If you have any additional feedback you’d like to share or have any questions, feel free to message us at: https://www.dropbox.com/support Thanks!
I love dropbox and use it for everything - always will! But i recently got an alert that my ipad storage was nearly full, and that dropbox was taking up 25GB+ worth of space. The fun part is that i have NO offline files saved, so that number should have been 0. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app to fix the problem, but i’m reeeeally hoping this doesn’t become a regular issue that i have to do over and over. If you’re having a problem like this, take a look at your offline files, clear your cache within the app, and if all else fails, uninstall and reinstall to get your storage back.
