Overview
Dropbox pioneered cloud file sync and remains a reliable choice for teams that collaborate heavily on large files — especially creative agencies working with video, photography, and design assets. Its desktop sync client is exceptionally fast and reliable. The free plan offers 2GB of storage, which is very limited compared to Google Drive's 15GB; Dropbox's value is in its business plans with team folders, version history, and admin controls.
