Tell us how you use Dropbox!

I use Dropbox for many many years (cn't remember since when) as my way to approach files online when I am 'down the road' and consider Dropbox as a secure backup system. Dropbox has never let me down and the few issues, often caused by ignorance, have always been solved via the advices received from the community.

I saw my brother, who is a lawyer, close his computer at office one day, while he had been working on a document, and said he would continue it at home, and he didn't have to copy the document onto a flash drive or email it to himself. I said WOW! Then a friend send me an invitation to sign up. I happily pay the subscription every year because it has reduced stress greatly!

Dropbox used to be go to backup system.  In 2023 the system quit backing up my important files.  I can manually upload an important folder to dropbox and the files show up.  But, dropbox does not sync new files in that folder!  I checked dates and found that ANY FOLDER I created after summer of 2023 IS NOT BACKING UP!
I searched dropbox help files and all I got were messages, flyers and popups for me to UPGRADE MY ACCOUNT, even though I am at less than 50% capacity.
JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK 
I started with google drive until that turned to junk, and now am dropping dropbox for the same reason.  I am just venting, I am sure nobody at dropbox give a rip if I leave.

Hi Pelikaan - this comment has just made me smile so much! Glad to hear that the Dropbox Community has helped you out! I would love to chat to you more about that, if you would be interested? Would you mind if I reach out to you by email to chat more?

I love this comment grenadahouse! Seeing something work so simply is the dream - and I'm glad it's worked well for you too. I would love to share your quotes in another post in the future, would that be ok with you?

Hi Debells29, thank you for your comment! Glad to hear this, I think photos are definitely one of the most popular ways that people discover Dropbox, and I'm so glad to hear you still have access to those memories. 

Do you still use it for new photos or is it just a trip down memory lane now? 

Thanks for sharing maher1982! I can definitely relate to having your docs handy, when I moved house, it was so helpful to have my moving list wherever I was, as well as all my docs for the paperwork too.

Glad to hear you've been with us for a decade now!
