Dropbox is now too hard to use.
Congratulations Dropbox,
You have lost sight of your core value added, and ruined your offering. You have layered so much unwanted additional functionality on top of simple file sharing, the the in...

Hi CM18 and Herron
Each to his/her own but I disagree with you. The new Dropbox experience (smart workplace) is easier to use and the integrations make it easy to share content with other people. Dropbox needs to evolve. And that is what they are doing. Otherwise they will be "just another cloud storage provider".
I use all three major cloud providers (Google Drive/Microsoft OneDrive Personal and Business/Dropbox Personal and Business). Dropbox is lightyears ahead with speed of syncing, integration, mobile experience, etc.
OneDrive and Google Drive are much slower when you want to sync. Google Drive cannot store folders offline on mobile devices (only files). When sharing content with OneDrive the recipient needs a Microsoft account.
With Dropbox you can even share content to WhatsApp and integrate with Zoom, Teams, Slack, etc. I do not use Papper (I use Evernote) but from what I read, Paper is a good solution as well (I do not like OneNote).
I guess any solution is related to the person (or business) requirement. If you want only cloud storage for your files, use OneDrive or Google Drive (although Dropbox does this seamlessly as well). Try all three, and choose what is best for your specific requirements and budget.
Regards

I am not opposed to Dropbox expanding its mission. However, the CORE mission is now almost impossible to access and easily use. The idea that I now have to "learn Dropbox" is absurd. I am trying to run a business not "learn Dropbox". If I wish to use it as it originally functioned, I should have that option without having to "learn" Dropbox. Unfortunately when I open it, what I see is totally incomprehensible to me and rather than sit there and "learn Dropbox" I prefer to go about my business productively. It's become a total waste of time for me.
