Download Dropbox 64 bit offline installer

Dropbox suits anyone who wants files to show up on every device without thinking about it. It adds a synced folder to File Explorer and works on Windows 10 and 11.

Its standout is fast, dependable sync plus sharing links you can send in seconds.

The catch is the free Basic plan: 2 GB of space and three linked devices. If your files fit inside that, it is an easy pick.

What is Dropbox?

Dropbox is a cloud storage and file sync service from Dropbox, Inc. It keeps a folder on your PC matched with your online account and your other devices.

The Windows app is free to install. What you pay for is storage and extra features.

A Dropbox folder inside File Explorer, with a sync status in the taskbar

After sign-in, a Dropbox folder appears in File Explorer. Anything you copy or drag into it uploads in the background.

The taskbar icon shows whether the app is up to date, working or needs attention. That status is the first place to look when a file is missing elsewhere.

Tip: Wait for “Up to date” before you shut the laptop lid or switch off the PC.

Selective Sync for small disks

You do not have to keep every folder on your PC. Selective Sync lets you pick which folders are stored locally and leave the rest online only.

This helps on a laptop with a small SSD. The files still exist in your account and on the web.

Tip: Exclude big archive folders you rarely open, then add them back when you need them.

Share links and recovering old file versions

Sharing a file means creating a link and sending it, so no email attachment is needed. Link settings vary by plan.

Version history lets you roll a file back to an earlier state. Deleted files can be restored, and Basic keeps 30 days of history.

Upload limits worth knowing

Uploads through the website top out at 350 GB per file or folder. The desktop app allows up to 2 TB per file or folder.

If you have a very large file, use the desktop app instead of the browser.

Basic or Plus: what changes on the free plan

Feature	Basic (free)	Plus (paid)
Storage	2 GB	2 TB
Linked devices	Up to 3	Unlimited
Version history	30 days	30 days

Prices change by region and billing cycle, so check the Dropbox plans page before you buy.

A fourth device, a tight budget or strict privacy: when Dropbox is the wrong fit

If you own four or more devices and want to stay free, the three-device cap on Basic will get in the way.

People who need a lot of free space are better served elsewhere, since 2 GB fills quickly with photos.

Dropbox also has no native zero-knowledge encryption, so choose a different service if you require that.

FAQ

Is Dropbox free to use on a Windows PC?

Yes, the desktop app is free and the Basic plan costs nothing. It includes 2 GB of storage and does not expire.

Why does Dropbox say I have too many devices?

Basic accounts can link up to three devices at a time. Remove one you no longer use in your account settings, or upgrade to a plan with unlimited devices.

What happens when my free Dropbox is full?

Going over 2 GB can stop syncing, uploads and sharing on some Basic accounts. Free up space or upgrade to get syncing again.

Can Dropbox sync without filling my PC drive?

Yes, with Selective Sync you choose which folders are stored on the PC. The rest stay online and remain available on the web.

How big can a single file be in Dropbox?

Up to 2 TB per file or folder through the desktop app. The website allows up to 350 GB per file or folder.

Why is a file missing on my other device?

Check the Dropbox icon in the taskbar first. If it says syncing, indexing or paused, the file has not finished uploading yet.
