Cloud storage has been around for a while now, and many people use it for extra space, collaborative work or sharing pictures. However, the main drawbacks are the limits that even the best cloud storage providers often place on users. Most of these limits are in place only when you upload to or download from Dropbox. However, using the desktop UI or mobile apps either reduces or entirely removes restrictions on files uploaded to Dropbox.
If you are uploading files through the website, each one must be smaller than 50GB. This will decrease the total size, saving you storage space and making it easier to stay under 50GB. If done poorly, this can decrease quality or slow down transfer speeds, and even when compression is done right, it will limit your ability to manipulate files while they are in the cloud.
However, Dropbox does not compress your uploaded files. One of the most significant limits with Dropbox is the total size of your stored files.
The Professional, Standard, and Advanced plans are all available to test with a day free trial. At the end of the day, Dropbox comes with all the main features we would expect to see from a cloud storage provider that focuses on collaboration. Its user interface is very attractive, it comes with a suite of sharing and file permission tools, and it can be accessed via web, desktop, and mobile apps.
When using the desktop or mobile app, there is no restriction whatsoever on upload size. With the web app, you will be restricted to 50GB per file, which is still huge. Or to put it another way, this would let you upload hours of standard 4K footage. And if, for some reason, you need more storage than this, you can simply upgrade to a more advanced plan. Dropbox comes with an impressive range of collaboration features, including the ability to share files directly with other parties.
Different permissions can be set to allow people to view, comment on, or edit a file directly, and you can even create collaborative documents through the Dropbox Paper integration. Finally, Dropbox also allows you to automatically back up your photos from your mobile or desktop device.
Finally tried to install the desktop app but the machine is a server and the app just gives a blank sign in page during setup. If you'd like to try again via the website, I'd suggest clearing the browser cache or even trying an incognito window. With the desktop app, while it's not designed to run on a server OS you should be able to use the app if you have it installed on an individual user account rather than as a service.
Could you temporarily disable any of these on your device to see if that does the trick and allows you to sign in? Just a tip, if you don't want all your account content to sync to your device just yet, after signing into click "Advanced settings" and use selective sync to uncheck all folders. If you want to keep using the app after uploading the file, you can then change the selective sync settings through the app preferences.
Uploading via a web browser is terrible. You MUST use the actual app if you want to upload a decent amount of files. The web browser method just simply does not work and will result in a lot of files not being uploaded. A few small files are OK, but don't trust it when uploading an entire folder or large files.
