Dropbox wasn't the first cloud-based storage service, but it was the one that popularized it. Unlike many of its competitors, Dropbox doesn't need a web-browser interface. It will run natively on almost any PC, including Linux computers or devices running Android or iOS.
What I really like about Dropbox is that I can use it just like it was any other network drive, with pretty much any file manager on any operating system. Unlike the other services, there are no extras. Dropbox offers file storage without any frills. Sometimes that's all you need, and since it lets you easily get to your most important files no matter what device you're using, I find it extremely handy.
Dropbox only comes with 2GB of free storage, but you can get more storage by bringing new users to Dropbox. If you want more room, Dropbox charges $9.99 a month, or $99 annually for 100GB, and similarly priced deals for up to 500GB. There's also a Dropbox for teams with variable pricing that starts with a shared TB of storage for five users.
Even with the free additional storage, Dropbox isn't cheap if you need a lot of storage. On the other hand, it continues to be my favorite because it integrates so easily with every computing device I use. In addition, even if I don't have an internet connection, I can use any files stored in it because by default, it syncs with all my local devices. If it were only cheaper, it would be perfect.
