A Principled Technologies report*, Dropbox uploads a 100 MB folder 2.5 minutes faster than Box on a MacBook Pro.
Faster storage and syncing
Upload massive files of up to 2 TB at a time, sync changes in 98% less time than Box (based on a Principled Technologies report*), and access the latest versions of your files on any device.
More collaborative
Unlike Box, Dropbox puts collaboration at the heart of every tool and feature. Hassle-free file sharing and intuitive feedback tools make working together simple.
Security you can rely on
Dropbox is designed with multiple layers of protection, so you can safeguard your data, users, and devices—even if your team is distributed.
Sometimes, you just need to upload a really big file. With a maximum of just 150 GB per upload, Box may run into trouble when working with raw video, or large project folders. Meanwhile, Dropbox is ready to handle anything you throw at it—with 2 TB available per upload.
Dropbox Replay makes gathering and implementing feedback on videos simple. Just share a link to your edit in Replay and watch as reviewers leave frame-accurate comments and annotations on your video. Better yet, they can see each other’s comments, meaning you spend less time navigating conflicting feedback, and more time stimulating helpful discussion between reviewers. With Box, on the other hand, there’s no equivalent tool—leaving you stuck navigating endless email threads, filled with conflicting feedback.
When it comes to delivering finished work, we understand that first impressions start before your files have even been opened. That’s why we allow customizable, branded file transfers of up to 250 GB, enabling you to leave an immediate, lasting impression with your clients and customers. With Box, on the other hand, your file transfers are locked to the default design.
Storing files is just the beginning—edit any image stored in your Dropbox account, without the need for additional software. Unlike Box, which requires you to use editing apps installed on your computer, Dropbox makes it easy to crop, flip, rotate, and adjust the colors of images within a few clicks.
Dropbox integrates seamlessly with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Premiere Rush. What’s more—unlike Box, collaborators can preview and annotate common Adobe file formats, like PSD and EPS, without a license for Adobe apps.
“Compared to its competitors, Dropbox is more secure, supports a wider variety of files, and syncs files faster. It's the perfect app if you need to collaborate on a project and share files back and forth, or if you just want to sync up your own files between your devices.”

If you’ve ever worked with Box, you know it can hold up projects—especially when you’re working with larger files. Trying to upload a file over 150 GB? You’ll need to find another solution. Syncing even the smallest changes takes too long, as well.
Dropbox is tailored to the needs of large-content creators, so you can upload files as big as 2 TB (even massive CAD files and 4K video) and keep on working. It works with all the tools you work with, like Adobe, and allows you to safely store all your creative content, no matter the format.
Get work done faster, with intuitive collaboration tools
Collaboration is key to creative work, but no one has time for training to make it work. That’s why Dropbox is designed to help companies and their clients save, share, and work together—no matter what type of files, documents, or systems they’re working on. Here’s why more than 600,000 teams use it:
- With its intuitive interface, onboarding with Dropbox is effortless—meaning you can start collaborating on day one.
- With straightforward and secure file sharing, you can say goodbye to confusion around access permissions and rest easy knowing your files are safe.
- Whether you’re requesting or providing it, feedback has never been so simple—even with video, thanks to frame-accurate feedback with Dropbox Replay. Review, comment, edit, and deliver the end product all in one place. No exporting files. No email chaos.
Box doesn’t seem to focus on collaboration or simplicity, so teams often need training just to work together. Meanwhile, teams that switch to Dropbox can see 10% faster collaboration, according to the Forrester Report, The Total Economic Impact of Dropbox.**
Security that empowers you to collaborate in confidence
If you’re worrying about your files, you’re not giving your work the focus it deserves. That’s why Dropbox is designed with multiple layers of protection. So you can safeguard your data, users, and devices, even if your team is distributed.
Here’s how Dropbox keeps your data secure:
- Account security, like multi-factor authentication and device management, keeps your users safe
- Advanced sharing controls like password protection, expiration dates, and easy revocation of files and folders help ensure that only the right people have access
- Easily recover files, folders, and older versions of content—with multiple ways to restore your data
- Stay compliant—Dropbox meets global regulatory standards for many of your data and storage needs, including GDPR and helping with HIPAA compliance.
