With Dropbox Basic, it’s easy to get to your files from multiple devices—computers, phones, and tablets—for free:
It’s all too easy to fill up your computer’s hard drive space with documents, photos, and videos. With Dropbox, you can easily free up hard drive space by storing your files and folders as online-only. Best of all, you still have access to your files without uninstalling programs, deleting files, or lugging around an external hard drive.
From photos and videos to presentations and tax paperwork, Dropbox Basic helps you keep all your most important—and irreplaceable—files safe:
Copying files over to a USB stick and “file too big to attach” errors are a thing of the past. Dropbox Basic makes it easy to securely send large files to anyone, and collaborate easily on the files you share.

You can store 2 GB of files with Dropbox Basic. We also offer paid plans with 2 TB or more of storage.
The security of your files is our top priority. Dropbox protects files in transit between our apps and our servers, and at rest. We’ve also created a privacy policy that clearly describes when we collect your information and the steps we take to protect it. In addition, we offer tools like two-step verification and an account security page where you can easily monitor linked devices, active web sessions, and third-party apps with access to your account. You can learn more about how we keep your files safe on our Security page.
