Download Dropbox 166.4.2920 Download | TechSpot

Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. This is how it works:

• Drag and drop to move files around, just like you normally would
• Any files or folders inside Dropbox will be synced to Dropbox’s servers and any other computer connected to your account.
• Green checkmarks appear on top of your files to let you know they’re synced and up to date.

Is Dropbox secure?

Dropbox files are encrypted with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). During transfer between applications and Dropbox servers, SSL/TLS is used to protect data. Two-step verification is also available as an extra layer of security when signing in. All of these security measures keep your files private and secure, unless you intentionally share links to files or folders with others.

Is Dropbox free?

Dropbox offers a free plan with 2GB of cloud storage, so you can automatically sync and access your files from multiple devices like PCs, phones, and tablets. The free plan also has a limit on the number of devices (up to 3). If you need more storage space or overcome that limitation, you can opt for paid plans starting at around $10 per month.

Is Dropbox better than Google Drive?

Both Dropbox and Google Drive offer a robust infrastructure for storing and synchronizing your files, are very fast and have sharing management built in. One key difference is how Dropbox approaches cloud storage, as it integrates with the OS seamlessly and syncs folders the way you would organize local storage. Meanwhile, Google Drive combines this capability with a deep integration of Google apps and services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Calendar and more. On the free plan, Google Drive offers 15GB of free storage and syncs across an unlimited number of devices.

What is new

• Huge performance improvements: the client-side synchronization engine has been reengineered to optimize response time, scale and resource consumption. As a result, memory usage is reduced by up to 50 percent. Large changes made in Dropbox are now more efficient and smaller changes remain fast.
• Better user experience: the initial setup wizard has been redesigned to make it easier to get started with Dropbox. The Mac OS X version has been rewritten to use Cocoa only, reducing the Mac download size by 20 percent.
• Selective sync: you can now choose which folders to download to which computers, so you don’t have to sync things you don’t need.
• Extended attribute synchronization: resource forks and other extended attributes are now supported. Resource forks are an area of ​​a file that some applications use to store important data, and which most synchronization programs today completely ignore, resulting in a broken file at the other end.
