Dropbox for iOS

[the_servicer]

Do you use Dropbox on iOS? Why or why not? If so, do you like it?

No. Google Drive and iCloud work well enough and I get more storage with them. 15gb free from google and work pays for 200gb for icloud for me.

Nope. I have 1TB with One Drive as I was a student when I signed up.

Just have token accounts for Dropbox and Google drive for the few times I need them. Otherwise prefer iCloud.

I have yet to find use for cloud storage. Mostly it's annoying if anything.

It's much easier to drop something in dropbox and then go on another PC/Device and have the same file than put it on a flash drive and then transfer it. It might not be as useful outside of college though.

I have a laptop, a desktop, and my iPad. With Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc, I can be working on a document/spreadsheet/script/etc on my desktop, save it to one of those services drive. Grab my laptop, go elsewhere, get a connection, and continue working like I had left off. If I am going to a job interview, I always have a copy of my latest resume with me because it syncs between my desktop and my iPad and my laptop.

I went with Dropbox when they had the most features. I don't know about how they fare feature-wise now but I do have box, dropbox, ms onedrive, and google drive. I find that Dropbox still seems to work best. I use it to hold documents I want to access from my phone, ipad, work pc and home pc. I also use it to backup photos from my phone. It makes it easy to access them on any device.

I guess if you need to work with tiny files that's workable. With anything larger cloud storage just gets annoyingly clumsy with all the transfer delays. Working with Excel/Word files is so 90's anyway

I prefer to use iCloud because it's cheaper, with just 1 euro/month I have 50gb.
