A star has died. Dropbox repeatedly LIES TO ME that my space is almost full. NO IT'S NOT. Their marketing morons are foisting their Plus plans. Pyzz Off! - - Never doubt that modern Marketing focuses upon scouring and abusing the customer. Marketing victim beware. Idiots. Etc. Remind you of politics much?

hello, any chance of a latest dropbox version? the updater is looping around again, and I already have this version 164.4.7914 installed . Pretty sure it is looping because of the periodic drops in the network connectivity here, but unfortunately nothing much I can do about that.. Thanks in advance

Total ram hog and slow and sync quite hit and miss. Compared to Google drive syncing the same content it takes up almost 1 gig of ram compared to Google Drive 150 mg of ram this just for a syncing app also it has become very expensive one you go past the basic version. Have finally given up on it. and deleted it off my computer and reclaimed some sanity. It used to be lean and quick and responsive to syncing files alas no more.

Dropbox is good for what I use it for, but I wish they abandon the automatic dropbox updater on Mac. By all means suggest people to download the latests update, but since May 2022, the updater on my and my colleagues' Macs seems to loop and loop without ever reaching the mere 270Mb download size. This can go on for days, clogging up bandwidth. Since May 2022 I have therefore been using this site to download the upgrade dmg file directly, and install it myself, and this seems a good workaround the looping issue.

Hello, would you be able to place the latest version of dropbox on this site please? I am having terrible problems with the dropboxmacupdater looping endlessly. I have used the direct downloads form this site since May 2022, and that seems to work fine. But I now need the latest version (v161.4.4923), but cannot find it anywhere. Would be great if you can post it here. Thanks, Joost

Bloated beyond belief. Over 260mb with loads of extra features nobody asked for. I use Maestral now, which just sticks to Dropbox syncing, in an unobtrusive way - just like Dropbox used to do when it was good.

DropBox is ok and works well but DropBox Paper is a complete fail and let down. It's confusing, limited, makes it hard to collaborate. So I'd give 4 stars to DropBox and 1 to Paper.

Shockiing app that uses 1GB RAM after just 10 minutes - even though all files are synced. Unsure what the app is doing but it is a memory hog on M1 Mac Mini (16GB unified memory). I kill all dropbox processes/tasks with Activity Manager and restart. Bam, within a minuite back up to 500 - 600MB RAM and less than 10 minutes later back up to 1GB. I was a long-time user but can't possibly recommend this app.

Some half brained product manager brain farted and the engineers complied to make this stupid 100th bad file-brower app. There is absolutely no use for it. It hinders everyday flow of searching & opening documents. Why would I have a useless app; when the OS gives me a sexy file browser and your job is f'ing just SYNC - IN THE BACKGROUND. Do not cross the holy line & get space on my screen - if you had just done what you do best - i.e simply sync; I would have been happier & productive.

I didn't have a negative experience like others, but I am a new user and so far I like everything about the app, all important files in one place!
