Back up files
From photos and videos to presentations and tax paperwork, Dropbox Basic helps you keep all your most important – and irreplaceable – files safe:
- File sync: Back up anything by storing it in the Dropbox folder on your computer. And with our desktop and mobile apps, you can automatically upload photos and videos to Dropbox from your phone, camera or SD card.
- File recovery: Accidentally deleted a file from your Dropbox? No problem. You can easily restore anything you’ve deleted in the past 30 days from dropbox.com.
- Version history: If you ever change your mind, you can roll a file back to any version saved to Dropbox in the past 30 days.
Share and collaborate on files
Copying files over to a USB stick and “file too big to attach” errors are a thing of the past. Dropbox Basic makes it easy to securely send large files to anyone and collaborate easily on the files you share.
- Shared links: Easily create a link for any file in your Dropbox that you can paste into an email, chat or text. Recipients won’t need a Dropbox account – they can click the link to view and download the file.
- File previews: Anyone visiting your shared links can preview over 175 file types and add comments – no special software required.
- Seamless collaboration: It’s hard to keep track of important attachments in a crowded inbox. Dropbox makes it easy to connect and collaborate, whether you’re sharing files with a friend or working with a large team.

Access across all devices
Files in your Dropbox folder stay updated on every device linked to your account. Save something on your laptop, and it automatically syncs to your desktop computer, as well as your iOS, Android, Windows or Blackberry mobile devices.
Flexible storage
Worry less about local hard disk constraints with Smart Sync. See all your files and team folders right from your desktop, and they take up virtually no space on your hard disk until you need them. Free up space easily by sending files to the cloud and you’ll still see them on your desktop.
Connected accounts
Keep your work and personal files in their own spaces. Just connect your personal and work Dropbox accounts, and sensitive company information will be kept separate from your personal files. Access everything in one place, without the need to switch logins.
Version history and file recovery
We back up all your files and protect them with up to 180 days of version history and deletion recovery. Getting old versions or deleted files back is simple, and doesn’t even require help from the IT team.
