Were I to add emphasis here it would be to the word working. I'd somehow missed the company's mission statement to 'unleash the world's creative energy by designing a more enlightened way of working.' The warning signs were there, it turns out. It's not going to turn my money away, but I'm not its target market: I'm not a business. And the thing is, I'm pretty sure Dropbox is fine with that.

I could just wipe my old device and sign in to Dropbox on my new one.īut a recent blog post from Dropbox has convinced me that the service is no longer for me. I didn't have to worry about backing up and moving my files. It didn't matter if I switched from Mac to PC or iPhone to Android. It's a pricey service, sure, but I've always felt it was worth it for its ease of use and platform agnosticism. When it arrived, its camera uploads feature solved the problem of getting photos off my phone and somewhere secure – somewhere that wasn't locking me in to Apple, or any other hardware company's ecosystem. Since then I've been a fan of the way Dropbox makes saving files in the cloud – and sharing them – quick and easy. It was years ago – probably not long after it was founded in 2007.

I don't know when I opened my Dropbox account.
