Dropbox for Mac is a convenient cloud storage system that lets you access your files on any computer with an Internet connection. Installing the app is quick and easy, and you can set up a free account to try out the program to see if it's a good fit.

Pros

Smooth integration: This app integrates seamlessly with your Mac, and you can access it directly at any time through the icon on the top toolbar. You can also open any of the Dropbox files on your computer through your Mac's Finder feature. And when you want to save an item to Dropbox, all you have to do is select it as the location from the drop-down menu in the Save window.

Access from anywhere: When you have files saved in a Dropbox account, you can access them from any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection. Even if the Dropbox app isn't installed on the device you're using, you can log in to your account on the Dropbox Web site and find your files that way.

Cons

Dashboard interface: Once Dropbox is installed on your Mac, there really is no dashboard-type interface you can access without going on the Dropbox Web site. While this doesn't have to be a major drawback, it can be a bit of an inconvenience for users who prefer that type of interface.

Bottom Line

Dropbox for Mac is straightforward to use and makes sharing your files with others or accessing them remotely easier than ever. When you open a Dropbox account, you'll get up to 2GB of storage for free. You can earn up to 16GB more, also for free, by referring friends to the service. And if you need even more space, upgrading to a Pro account gets you 100GB or more of storage with rates starting at $9.99 per month.

A useful tool
DavexofcJune 6, 2016
Pros
Provides you an access to your files from anywhere in the world
Cons
Not enough space in free version
Summary
A must have tool if you have some important files to keep and somebody to share with
Must have app in work
KathHudsonOctober 5, 2015
Pros
easy to use available from anywhere
Cons
free account offers little space
Summary
Great online solution without which I can't imagine my working life. Highly recommend to all computer users.
Version numbers are a joke, right?
stantasticMay 6, 2015
Pros
Yeah, it works.
Cons
I downloaded 3.5.63 a few days ago. Now they're releasing 3.4.6!! Can somebody PLEASE explain to me WHY there are new version releases almost every day or every other day, and the version numbers just don't make any sense at all? They go up, they go down -- WTF is going on??? Geeeeez....
Summary
An update almost EVERY day!!???
stantasticMarch 4, 2015
Pros
It does what it does, and I don't pay much attention to it, other than just using it.
Cons
Why is there an update released almost every day of the week?? And not only that, there seem to be two concurrent updated versions being released all the time. I see a version number via CNET Download, then later in the day I see a version number EARLIER (lower) than the one I just uploaded and installed. It's extremely confusing to know if I'm installing a NEWER version, or an OLDER one, or which one I SHOULD BE installing. What gives with that?
Summary
Dropbox is a resource hog!
paulcwestJanuary 23, 2015
Pros
It will sync your files, eventually.
Cons
While it syncs your files, it will hog so much of your CPU that it renders even the fastest Macs virtually unusable. Get used to taking more coffee breaks.
Summary
Try Google Drive or other service before you commit you company and clients to the Dropbox ecosystem that will slow down your workflow and hurt your bottom line.
Confusion about version number
KerryGinn--2008August 3, 2014
Pros
(uncertain)
Cons
Upon running the installer for version 2.10.27 to update from version 2.10.3, the resulting application called itself version 2.10.3 (size: 58,996,714 bytes).
Summary
Perhaps version 2.10.27 is not needed for the Mac edition of Dropbox.
Great program for saving docs to other devices
sang-froidJuly 9, 2014
Pros
Great and easy to use.
Cons
To many updates!! I get anywhere from 5 to 10 updates a month! What is wrong with the program that it needs that many corrections every month??!! No other program I have has that many updates in a single year!
Summary
Good and easy to use but be prepared to update far more then the average program.
Great program but far to many updates
sang-froidMay 1, 2014
Pros
The program works great and seamlessly, why the constant fix-ups?
Cons
Three, four and up to ten updates per month? What is with you guys? I haven't had any problems with it so the problems you are apparently fixing are not critical. Wait for a couple of weeks and them put out a monthly up-date. See for yourself. Look at all the versions under Previous Versions below.
Summary
Use it, but ignore all up-dates except one a month. That has worked for me and I have had zero problems with it.
Good program
sang-froidMarch 8, 2014
Pros
I use this always to sync items with my iPad for future reading.
Cons
To many f@*$%&#!ing updates. What's with the nearly weekly updates and no explanation for it? Give us some hints why as it is irritating to update so often.
Summary
A great option for remotely backing-up files!
Gretchen HurlbertNovember 30, 2013
Pros
Easy interface! Reliable. As a bonus, it is a great way to share large files!
Cons
Can't think of any!
Summary
I am a 'back-up' maniac and use a number of different sites and devices. Dropbox is right up there at the top of my preferred options! I've been using it for a number of years and can't imagine any reason to cease doing so.
