Dropbox vs. Proton Drive vs. Syncthing Comparison Chart

Dropbox Business is more than just secure file storage—it’s a smart workspace where teams, tools, and content come together. Create, store, and share cloud content from Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, Microsoft Office files, and Dropbox Paper alongside traditional files in Dropbox. Dropbox Spaces brings your files and cloud content together, so that your PowerPoints can live next to your Google Docs, Trello boards, and whatever tools your team wants to use. Easily access your team’s work from your computer, mobile device, or any web browser. Keep your team’s files and the conversations about them in the same place by connecting tools like Slack and Zoom. Intelligently suggested files and folders keep your team one step ahead by giving everyone the content they need, when they need it. A secure, distributed infrastructure—plus admin tools for control and visibility—keep your company’s data safe on Dropbox.

Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it's transmitted over the internet. None of your data is ever stored anywhere else other than on your computers. There is no central server that might be compromised, legally or illegally. All communication is secured using TLS. The encryption used includes perfect forward secrecy to prevent any eavesdropper from ever gaining access to your data. Every device is identified by a strong cryptographic certificate. Only devices you have explicitly allowed can connect to your other devices. The protocol is a documented specification — no hidden magic. Any bugs found are immediately visible for anyone to browse — no hidden flaws.
