About Dropbox
Dropbox invented painless sync, and its core engine remains the most reliable in the business: block-level sync makes large-file updates fast, Smart Sync keeps local disks lean, and virtually every app on earth integrates with it. Plus costs around $9.99 a month for 2 TB on annual billing, with 30-day version history (180 on higher tiers). What keeps it from the top of our list: no zero-knowledge option at any price, persistent upselling of Sign/DocSend/AI features most people never wanted, and a meager 2 GB free tier. For teams deep in its integrations, still excellent; for fresh starts, the alternatives give you more.
“Still the smoothest sync engine ever shipped, with the best third-party integrations. You pay for that polish per terabyte, the privacy model is standard server-side, and the upsells have multiplied. The default choice it once was, no longer; a good one, still.”Editorial team, via BackupShortlist
