What do you like about using Dropbox on Desktop?

I'm curious - what prompted you to download Dropbox on Desktop? What is the reason for working on desktop versus going to Dropbox on web? Do you use both? Also for those that use Web - for what reason do you not have Dropbox installed on your desktop? Would love to hear everyone's input on this!

Hi Walter, no it affects both,  but as I said earlier this is new, a few weeks ago I could work on a spreadsheet close it and a few seconds later the I pad version was updated and both used arms excel

Not sure a web browser? I open Dropbox and open a file so I’m not using Edge if that’s what you mean.

Hi Walter, it’s almost midnight here so I’m off to my bed, can we carry on tomorrow please

I love the Finder integration. Dropbox keeps everything in sync and backed up, but it's all just living in my Mac's Finder, so I don't need to learn a new interface for copying, pasting, opening, etc, and the search on my Mac finds anything. This has always been the best part of Dropbox (it's just a folder) and I really love the simplicity and integration. 

I also appreciate the robust iOS app and web app, because I need my files at random times in random places, and that's what makes Dropbox compelling. On the Mac though it's the invisible (seamless) nature of the Finder integration that sells it. I love Dropbox, and it's much better than Google Drive, iCloud Drive, Onedrive, Box, etc, none of which sync as clearly, quickly, and seamlessly with the Finder.

• Offline Access: Users can access their files and folders even without an internet connection by installing Dropbox on their desktop. As a result, they can work offline and sync when they re-connect to the internet.
• Flawless interaction: Users can quickly drag and drop files, sync changes in real-time, and use well-known file management tools thanks to the desktop application's flawless interaction with the operating system.
• Automatic Syncing: The Dropbox desktop programme syncs files between the local computer and the cloud automatically, making sure that the most recent version is always accessible on all devices.

Absolutely nothing, it's just what I used in the past and migration to a competitor isn't top of my list, although maybe it should be
