Tell Us How You Use Dropbox

OneDrive doesn't have a feature where you can ignore a sub folder inside a synchronized folder, but Dropbox has! I keep all my node projects in Dropbox, it is amazing. However, I desperately need a 100 GB for 2€ per month plan. Please add a lower tier! I only keep code in my Dropbox. I would also pay 3€ per month for 20GB.

I use OnSong ( a lyrics, backing-tracks, and live performance manager) I have the backing tracks play on my Casio keyboard.

I keep all my midi backing tracks on Dropbox,  I like the Ubuntu Dropbox folder feature that   makes it easy to add files to the Dropbox  cloud.

I also use it to back up major files as well.

File sync.

I also used to use it regularly to send files (not share files for co-working; send a link to allow people to download a copy of a file I had created). I get that this is the functionality of Dropbox Transfer but the way Transfer seems to work now is not clean for me. On mac, I used to right-click on a file in Finder and 'create dropbox link' would be one of the options. I send the link, done and dusted. Now it creates a Transfer, which sends me a million notifications I do not need. I can turn off the notifications for each transfer individually. But a) that option is not available when I use the right-click on the mac to create it, and b) I don't want to have to do it every time, I want it off by default.

I use it for my Church Music.  This is as part of my job, and part for my volunteer work as a musician.  I organize and store various genre in different folders.  I love it!

I love using Dropbox for syncing files, keeping all my personal and freelance stuff safe and for sharing content, especially those edited videos—I’m a big fan of how Dropbox encodes videos so they’re easy to watch online.

johnweidner​ my absolute favourite thing about paper is not having to think about a font or formatting - one less decision!

I utilize it to do mainly file requests to keep my tax customer's paperwork all in one folder.  Before Dropbox, they were emailing me W-2's and texting them and it took a lot of time to keep up with them and to find out how they documents were sent.  I also share individual folders with clients who keep their taxes on dropbox.  I use it for backing up my photos and quilting pantographs that I have stored for my longarm quilting business and keeping folders of annual tax customer scans and returns.  Each of my customers has their own folder...some are shared if asked and some are not.  Everything in one place.  It would be great if the Dropbox app for Apple had a file request button on it.  I have to sign into dropbox.com in order to do a file request or I just don't know how else to make it work for me. 

I heavily utilize Shared Links particularly because of the flexibility I have with permissions and expiring dates you can set. 

I use Dropbox for two main things. One, I’m an extreme fan of visuals, and collect pictures and artworks by the thousands. I feel much safer with Dropbox. I love Apple machines in a general way, and use Evernote for collecting ideas, but neither can sync and keep stuff safe like Dropbox can. 

Second, I write stories, often with pictures, and find Paper very useful. Why? Because it’s simple and limited, so it doesn’t distract me with thousands of features. I can just write, without worrying about which charming font to use. I actually wish I could switch a few more things off. Like Comments, which I don’t use. And I wish Paper had a reading-only feature. I’ll be reading a story on my phone, touch the screen a bit too hard, and I’m in edit mode. Very distracting.
