Dropbox is one of the most famous cloud storage services for all types of files that we can find today. It is a perfect tool for users who want to have a copy of all their important files online to access it from anywhere or to prevent them from taking up space on the storage disks of their computers.

Thanks to this application, you can share all kinds of files, documents, photos, or videos, through a virtual folder that you can download to any other of your devices, entirely or by certain contents. Its operation is so simple that you only have to copy the file in question and then paste it into the Dropbox folder.

The synchronization of the contents is then produced automatically, which is a great advantage because, in this way, we can make all the modifications we want to Dropbox folders as if they were any on our computer. You can copy contents, paste, cut, delete, or move them between the different folders within this application without problems.

Suppose you have your user logged in on several devices. In that case, the contents you have shared from one of them will immediately arrive to the others, although without downloading or taking up space, but available from the Dropbox folder in particular. In effect, what Dropbox offers us is cloud storage in the same way as OneDrive from Microsoft, Drive from Google, or iCloud from Apple, although without having such a lucid godfather, of course.

One advantage of this particular application is that when its developers report that it is a platform system, it is. We can install it on practically all our terminals because there is a version designed for each. That will allow you to access your files or essential content anywhere.

Another detail we particularly liked a lot is the previsualization of the contents, which is very useful when we talk about photos or videos, which we can share through our Dropbox folder. In this way, if you have several similar pictures or videos between them, you can see them before downloading them, and thus only download the ones you are most interested in into your devices.

For the rest, this program is compatible with almost any type of file you want to upload to your folders, taking into account that it can be text documents, files, photos mentioned above, videos, and audio. Of course, and like other similar services, as we need more storage space, we will have to pay for it. We will talk about costs later on.

In turn, Dropbox can synchronize with many other applications, adding to the user experience in cloud storage. Among these functions, we have to talk about Carousel or Mailbox to highlight a few. Thus, you can send your content by email without going through many steps.

Do you want to share the contents you uploaded to your folder with other users? Once you have given them the necessary permissions, you can send an access link to whoever you want to access those files. The other person has to click on it, and they will be directed to a web folder, from which they can view or download if they prefer.

In this case, and practically for the general use of this application, you have to consider that the capacity of your Internet connection will influence the upload and download speeds of the different contents. If you have a good WiFi connection, you can share files faster than if your networks are somewhat deficient.

The simplicity of this program is undoubtedly one of the reasons to choose it, and in addition to an interface that is up to the task, clean, and intuitive, we find that all the functions are in sight. This is an excellent option if you have never used a cloud storage program.

But what storage capacity does this cloud hosting system offer? In its initial, free version, 2 GB. As we said, as you require more storage, you will need to pay for it, as usual. Some of the Dropbox costs that you should know are $12.50 per month to access 2 TB of storage. For $20 per month, meanwhile, you'll access unlimited storage space. And don't miss out on the enterprise plans offered by this company, either.

How have our tests with Dropbox been going? This is the cloud storage service we use by default, so its virtues are there for all to see. At all times, it behaves stably, and there are no problems uploading or downloading any file that we have added to your folders. From its icon in the Taskbar , it is easy to open the program only when we need it.
