Top 11 Best Dropbox Alternatives in 2020: Which Is The Most Secure?

1

Dropbox

On top of that, Dropbox integrates with Microsoft Office Online, which lets you edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents from the Dropbox web interface. Plus, Dropbox has a useful note-taking app called Dropbox Paper that lets you make notes and more, which we explore in our Dropbox Paper review.

Sync.com

On top of good value, Sync.com has strong security, including free zero-knowledge encryption, which means only you can read your data, unlike in the case of Dropbox (Sync.com is also our best encrypted cloud storage provider). Sync.com also uses the TLS protocol to protect files in transit from threats, such as man-in-the-middle attacks, and AES 256-bit encryption to protect files at rest.

pCloud

pCloud implements the common model of sync, but also provides a feature called pCloud Drive. It lets you access content stored with pCloud without having to download it to your computer (read our how to set up pCloud Drive guide).

Tresorit

Tresorit is one of the most secure cloud storage services and one that we’ve compared to Dropbox before in our Tresorit vs. Dropbox article. Tresorit came out on top in that article, mainly thanks to its security features.

Box

An additional metric for your review could be resources consumed by each program. DropBox is notorious for gobbling up a lot of your free memory. As I type this, it is using 143 threads and 357MB of my 8GB RAM on a MAC and it is not performing a synch. I would love to know which of your top choices was less RAM hungry than DropBox. It is the major reason I am looking to change services.

Mega

MEGA used to give out a lot of free storage, but it has since started making most of it disappear after a few months. You can read the details about that in our MEGA review. Like the previous services on our list, it offers zero-knowledge encryption.

Microsoft OneDrive

OneDrive’s transfer speeds let you sync your files quickly, and it makes them even faster with block-level sync (in case you choose OneDrive, we have a guide for if OneDrive is not syncing).

Google Drive

Google Drive’s desktop client follows the common model of sync but enriches it with a continuous backup option. You can also use the client to sync specific folders from the cloud and any folder to the cloud. The client had a hiccup when we tested it for our Google Drive review, though, and some older comments on it complain about poor syncing.

Amazon Drive

Amazon has data centers across the globe so it’s no wonder Amazon Drive’s sync speeds are fast. You can see just how fast in our Amazon Drive review.

Koofr

Sharing lets you email a link, copy and paste it or share directly to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit or Tumblr. You can’t password-protect links when sharing to social networks, but you can otherwise. There’s an option to make links expire, too. Unlike many services, including Dropbox, Koofr even provides those content control features for free users. Read our Koofr review for more information.

SpiderOak

SpiderOak ONE doesn’t offer a free plan, so it’s not better than Dropbox in that regard. That said, no free plan is common for online backup services. SpiderOak ONE’s plans are expensive, too. Dropbox’s 1TB plan is $9.99 per month compared to SpiderOak ONE’s 400GB plan for $11 per month.
