Reviews for Dropbox: Secure Cloud Storage

Signed up for the 30 free trial. Meh. Tried to cancel the next day, but there was no button for that in Dropbox. I had to search for it, and discovered that I had to go to My Subscriptions in Google Play, but COULDN’T. There’s nothing there regarding Dropbox. Now I’m having a hard time […]

I’m really disappointed in this company. I’ve been a Dropbox user since the very beginning. Suddenly, they’ve introduced an arbitrary three device limit that makes this all but useless unless you pay $120+ a year. I have no problem paying for valuable services, but the fact that you they want longstanding customers to pay over […]

Incredibly restrictive, 3 installs at most… for something that is supposed to give you ‘everywhere cloud storage’. The app doesn’t integrate into android nearly as well as PC. And the cost to got to PLUS is an absurd amount of money with 10x the storage space you are actually going to use. Save money and […]

User since 2012 – I recently did a factory reset and instead of installing from my list of apps under management I just typed in Dropbox. I’m writing after seeing the negative reviews. I’ve never been disappointed with my free account. I believe 14 devices later and still happy. I can easily share a single […]

I’ve had it for years and used it periodically but never exclusively. Recently, I’ve needed it for a little project or mine and I noticed something that driving me completely bonkers. When downloading, anything really, there’s NO PROGRESS BAR! Nothing! 😡 So I have no idea when the process will finish. I can’t even tell […]

Even with all the settings proper, the photos in my gallery from the past couple weeks won’t upload / synchronize to the cloud. I know everything’s working because if I put something on my computer in that folder. It shows up on my phone. But it’s supposed to go the other way and make sure […]

I’ve been a user of PC’s & Macs for decades, and Dropbox intermittently during that time. I have NEVER encountered anything less intuitively navigable, even with devoted time and effort, than Dropbox. It’s atrocious! I’ve hardly EVER been more frustrated. Perhaps this has something to do with why more people don’t subscribe to their expensive […]

In general, I like Dropbox enough to have a paid membership. However, I find the mobile app extremely frustrating. Trying to upload photos from my phone to specific folders is impossible to do in one or even two steps. I end up having to upload from my phone and the wait until I am on […]

Quality has declined a lot. I use this for work, to take images of documents upload them with Dropbox and email them. (my emails are too big for the phone app) It now takes a few hours to upload 3 or 4 8 mb pictures. It doesn’t automatically upload any of my photos even though […]

I’m a big fan of Dropbox. I use it all the time, both personally and professionally, and I have found that the desktop and browser versions are terrific! But the Android app is not great. Primarily because the videos never upload regardless of whether you’re using data or wifi, or if you have the video […]

Great that it syncs photos. It’s awful that it won’t actually sync unless battery is over 20%, and there is no way to override this. Users have been requesting this for years, but DB rarely changes anything nor have I seen any app improvements. Time to look seriously at Box. Another problem is that it […]

I have used Dropbox for Android for many years. Tonight when I went to add files I discovered that I could not see ALL of my folders. I can see recents, starred, shared, etc…. how the heck do I scroll down an alphabetical list of my folders. With a 2TB plan, it’s an extensive list, […]

I’ve had a paid account for over 10 years. Dropbox seems to be having progressively more difficulty managing reliable online/offline access with Cloudflare. If you try to download a large folder, you have to go through this complicated process of resetting routers and maybe trying from different ISPs until Cloudflare decides that you’re not a […]

I’ve never had a more difficult time canceling a paid subscription in my life. It’s clear it’s intentionally difficult. I cannot delete my account. It directs me to first delete my subscription but none of the how to guides apply to what I’m seeing on my app screen. There is simply not a way for […]

It’s gone so far downhill. A decade ago, I put everything important in Dropbox. 5 years ago, I swapped to putting new important things in Google Drive but keeping Dropbox as a backup. After growing more and more frustrated with Dropbox pop-ups and slowness anytime I wanted to find one file, I’m ripping off the […]

I’m really liked Dropbox at first as a solid alternative to Google Drive but now it’s like a storage app in the middle of an identity crisis. It used to be so simple and straightforward. I loved how sleek & minimal it was (just straight to the files). But now there’s so much that’s been […]

Dropbox is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Once you store data and begin using it, they continuously attempt to get you to store other things. The reason that’s a problem is that eventually, you’re just paying for more storage for a need they created, not you. This isn’t at all about helping you organize and […]

Updated after a long while without doing so after some crashes. Not impressed. Can’t scroll through files with the banners hidden, not a helpful feature for a file viewer. Pixel art gifs are now tiny instead of expanded to fit the screen. Somehow the number of files visible on one screen in list mode is […]

Once you reach your free storage limit, Dropbox literally locks you out, preventing you from accessing your own files! The only way to retrieve what is legally your personal data is by paying for a subscription upgrade. I was forced to, even though I did not need additional storage. Their customer service is beyond horrific. […]

August 2025 update: I don’t use Dropbox for storage except for a few older files. I use it for the convenience of transferring large files that are too big to email. I really loathe the repetitive insistence (invitations) to A) upload/backup photos and other files, B) buy more space or subscribe. On the other hand, […]
