Just like Dropbox there are other storage clouds like OneDrive and Google Drive, one of the benefits of these programs is that they allow you to move files between different programs.
Dropbox is available for operating systems Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS and Android. You can also access it from the web without the need for the application.
However, we recommend that you have the mobile or desktop application installed and updated to have access to all the functions this useful tool offers you. It is completely free and you can get it from official stores or their website.
You should know that Dropbox works like any other application and it is possible disable updates, although they are necessary to ensure normal operation.
Updates ensure that you can use the latest version and provide performance and security improvements. Also, it's possible that if you don't, some of the features and tools you used to have will stop working.
