What are the differences between the Android and iOS Dropbox apps?

In 2-3 weeks Im going to buy myself an iPhone and am just curious what (if any) are the differences betwen Dropbox apps.

  • Welcome back to our forum, @MrSuddenJoy.

     

    I wouldn’t say there are major differences between the two mobile apps. 

     

    One of the few differences you may notice is that on the Android app, there’s also a hamburger menu on the left side of your screen, which doesn’t exist on the iOS app. From this icon, you can access the Paper app, your settings and file requests, while you can also see your linked email address and storage usage.

     

    If you need any help with navigating our iOS app nonetheless, let me know.
