Where dosya.dev pulls ahead
Start at 100 GB, not 2 TB
Dropbox's cheapest personal paid plan is 2 TB at $11.99 a month. If you need 100 GB, you still pay for 2 TB. dosya.dev prices storage in steps: 100 GB for $3.99, 500 GB for $9.99, 1 TB for $19.99 and 2 TB for $39.99, so light users pay light prices. And if 2 TB at the lowest possible price is exactly what you need, the table above says it plainly: Dropbox wins that line.
Send anything, any size
Dropbox Transfer caps a single transfer at 50 GB on Plus and 100 GB on team plans. dosya.dev transfers are chunked, resumable and uncapped on every plan, and recipients download from the nearest of 200+ edge servers without creating an account. There are no egress fees and no daily bandwidth caps on your links.
Your storage speaks S3, WebDAV and rclone
Dropbox is an app you adapt to. dosya.dev is also infrastructure: every workspace exposes an S3-compatible API and WebDAV alongside the REST API, CLI and SDKs. Mount it in Finder, point existing S3 tooling at it, or script it with rclone.
Pick where your files live
dosya.dev runs 200+ edge servers across 46 regions on 6 continents, and each workspace chooses its storage region - useful for compliance, and for keeping data close to the people who use it. Dropbox does not offer a region choice on personal plans.
Where Dropbox is a better fit
Fair is fair. Dropbox has been polishing desktop sync since 2008 and it shows, and its third-party ecosystem is unmatched: if your workflow depends on deep Dropbox integrations in tools you already pay for, that gravity is real. And if you genuinely need 2 TB, Dropbox's $9.99 a month billed yearly beats dosya.dev on raw price per gigabyte at that tier.
Moving off Dropbox takes an afternoon
Desktop app
Drag your Dropbox folder into the dosya.dev desktop app and let sync do the rest.
Remote downloads
Paste direct links and dosya.dev fetches the files server-side, without using your connection.
rclone
rclone speaks to both services. One command copies your whole Dropbox into dosya.dev.
dosya.dev vs Dropbox, answered
Is dosya.dev a good Dropbox alternative?
dosya.dev covers the core Dropbox workflow - store, sync, share and collect files - and adds things Dropbox does not offer: paid plans starting at $3.99/mo for 100 GB instead of jumping straight to 2 TB, transfers with no size cap, S3 and WebDAV access, and a choice of 46 storage regions. Dropbox still has the larger third-party integration ecosystem.
How do dosya.dev and Dropbox prices compare?
Dropbox's only personal paid plan is 2 TB at $11.99/mo ($9.99/mo billed yearly). dosya.dev spreads plans across 100 GB at $3.99/mo up to 2 TB, so you only pay for the storage you actually use. If you genuinely need 2 TB, Dropbox is cheaper per GB; if you need less, dosya.dev usually costs less per month.
Can I move my files from Dropbox to dosya.dev?
Yes. Connect your Dropbox account and our servers copy your files and folders across without routing them through your own connection. You can also drag your Dropbox folder into the dosya.dev desktop app, paste direct links into remote downloads, or use rclone, which speaks to both services.
Does dosya.dev have desktop sync like Dropbox?
Yes. dosya.dev ships desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux with folder sync, plus a CLI and WebDAV mounting so your storage can appear as a normal drive. Mobile apps are coming soon.
What is the largest file I can send compared to Dropbox?
Dropbox Transfer caps at 50 GB on Plus and 100 GB on team plans. dosya.dev transfers are chunked and resumable with no per-file size limit on any plan.
Does dosya.dev charge egress or bandwidth fees?
No. Downloads and shared links carry no egress fees. Dropbox applies daily bandwidth caps to shared links, which can temporarily disable a popular link.
