Keep your Dropbox account clean and tidy:

&nbsp;
‘A stitch in time saves nine’ is definitely true, and a minute spent organising files can save… well, a lot of wasted time.

Use a Paper to-do list to keep on top of things:

&nbsp;
Using to-do lists to make sure you keep on top of tasks can be super helpful! Set to-dos for yourself, and prioritise by date so you can forget about tasks until a later time. We even created a handy little to-do list if you work from home right over here. Why not try Paper templates (right here) to get started on group projects, creative briefs and more.
&nbsp;

Forget the password stress:&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Dropbox Passwords is a password manager that syncs across your devices, without taking up any space in your Dropbox account. It lets you seamlessly sign in to websites and apps by storing your passwords securely. The app remembers your usernames and passwords on all your devices — so you don’t have to. Learn more about it here. Add up all of those saved 5 minute intervals when you can’t remember your details and you have a nice chunk of time back! &nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thanks for all the features available on my Dropbox Basic account.
I really stopped using Dropbox when access was restricted to 3 devices. With a Desktop PC, a laptop, phone and tablet, I needed access from at least 4 devices.
I also didn't want to lock myself into a subscription for 2 TB.

Hi. The particular purpose I was using Dropbox for was saving a file which I use on multiple platforms. (I used an Android-specific password manager until the author dropped support due to API changes.)

When Dropbox restricted access to 3 devices, they removed this use case in an attempt to make me pay for more online storage than I require.

I thus moved the files to a different cloud provider's storage.

I still occasionally use Dropbox but don't put critical information there.
