What's your favorite, perhaps unexpected, way to use Dropbox?
I have been a dropbox user so long sometimes I feel like i'm under using its capabilities. What do you love most or what's an unexpected way you use Dropbox?

Dropbox StaffHey there, sz918, I hope you're doing well!
I'm going to be keeping this thread open, in order for others to also add their input here, and share their thoughts on how they use Dropbox in their everyday lives. 😎
Meanwhile, I wanted to add that you can always check our YouTube channel, Help Center or even this Community, if you wish to find out more about Dropbox, and how to fully utilize it. 😻
If you need anything else, don't hesitate!

Community ManagerHi sz918,
Thanks for posting here on the Dropbox Community! This is a really great question, so thanks for asking it! 😀 I think when you use something for so long, to do the same thing over and over, it can be quite easy to overlook some of the other options that you have right in front of you.
I was exactly the same, I originally opened a Dropbox account many moons ago as a place to keep files when I was in university. That was pretty much the only way I used Dropbox for the next 6 or 7 years. The thing that changed it for me was when I first downloaded the mobile app and turned on Camera Uploads.
I instantly fell in love with that feature. I take a huge amount of (terrible) photos on my phone, so I was constantly filling my memory with images I would probably never use again. Since using Camera Uploads, I can properly organize these photos, identify and get rid of the ones I don't want to keep (I mean who needs 20 identical shots of a cat sleeping in a slightly funny position?
), and keep my phone memory free.
Discovering that one feature led me to broadening my horizons and exploring other features that I now use regularly, like converting to PDF, document scanning and more.
Out of interest, what do you primarily use Dropbox for?
Thanks again, and have a great day!
