Dropbox is een online-opslagdienst die het mogelijk maakt om bestanden tussen verschillende computers te synchroniseren. Daarnaast kunnen bestanden en fotoalbums worden gedeeld met mensen die geen Dropbox-account hebben. Clients zijn beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux, OS X, iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry en Windows Mobile.
Een gratis account geeft toegang tot 2GB opslag, met de mogelijkheid dat uit te breiden door nieuwe gebruikers aan te dragen. Voor tien, twintig of vijftig dollar per maand is dat respectievelijk 100, 200 of 500GB. Versie 1.5, die nog steeds als experimenteel aangeduid wordt, heeft inmiddels de release candidate-fase bereikt. In die versie 1.5 zijn onder meer veranderingen aangebracht om de opslagdienst goed te laten werken onder de nieuwste versie van OS X, Mountain Lion. Verder zijn er diverse bugfixes en prestatieverbeteringen waar te nemen.
