It seems like you are interested in using Dropbox for your photo storage and editing needs. According to one of the web search results, Dropbox allows you to preview over 30 different image file types, including most RAW files. You can also preview Adobe files right in the browser without exporting or any special software. You can even have Lightroom and Photoshop automatically sync all of your photos to the cloud.
However, there are some limitations and considerations that you should be aware of before using Dropbox as your main storage for RAW and edited files. For example, you need to make sure that you have enough storage space in your Dropbox account to accommodate your large files. You also need to check the compatibility of your RAW files with Dropbox’s preview feature, as some formats may not be supported. Additionally, you need to be careful about how you export and download your files from Dropbox, as some methods may alter the file format or quality.
