Apple iCloud offers you plenty of simple plans without having to break the bank. So if you have a restricted budget and already on a Mac, iCloud might be a better option for you. This might come as a shock to some, but uploading and downloading data is quicker on iCloud.
If you find yourself frequently dealing with last-minute uploads and downloads, iCloud will make a better choice for sure. Since the service is already built-in in every Apple device, there is no need to spend additional time to download the application — plus, all your photos, notes, and files are automatically uploaded to iCloud and can be accessed from anywhere.
Thus, you get to experience all the benefits of cloud storage without any extra effort on your part. In fact, when compared to other Dropbox alternatives too, 2GB storage is very low. Contrarily, Dropbox offers a wide range of plans for individuals and businesses, which makes it slightly more complicated. Dropbox hands down have a wider selection of features, which includes file syncing, password file sharing, and recently launched upgrades like computer backup, Dropbox Passwords, and Dropbox Vault.
We particularly like its iWork integration that gives users instant access to productivity tools that were otherwise payable, like spreadsheets, presentation-based projects, and so on.
Not one to be left behind, Dropbox also has productivity tools that prioritize business and team collaboration. For instance, you can use the Dropbox Paper tool for quick note-taking or integrate Dropbox with Microsoft Office to edit Office documents. But since Dropbox has an easy-to-understand interface, it manages to move ahead of iCloud. Plus, you can also color-code and tag individual files and folders to organize files more efficiently. Likewise, Dropbox has improved its user-interface as well.
You can drop or remove files, manage syncing, sharing, and notifications — all from your web panel or the Dropbox settings area in the Dropbox desktop app. One of the main reasons why Dropbox wins over iCloud is its ability to support block-level file syncing.

All users, even those on the free plan, can talk to a support technician over the phone, and when we checked, the wait time was just two minutes.
With Dropbox, phone support is only available to Business Teams users. All users on paid plans can contact tech support via email and expect a response within a day. But users on the free plan have no way of contacting tech support and so are limited to the chatbot. So, in terms of being able to contact support, Apple wins. But both providers have active community forums and online FAQ sections where you should find the answers to many questions without the need for additional support.
And with both services, you need to pay a subscription fee to access more storage. Bigger teams can get unlimited storage. That said, 2TB should suffice for most individual users. Our first choice overall is Dropbox because it has a much broader range of features built around collaboration and functions better across a wider range of device brands.
