You can also add folders from the ‘Create’ menu to organize your online space, along with other types of documents using either Google Docs/ Slides/ Sheets, Microsoft Word/ PowerPoint/ Excel, or Dropbox’s own word processing app, Paper. From here, you can choose to upload individual files or an entire folder, which is great if you want to copy entire folders from your computer to save some local hard drive space.

Uploading is extremely easy and starts with clicking the blue ‘Upload’ button. The ‘Deleted files’ tab is where you’ll find work that you’ve deleted it will stay here for a set number of days (depending on your plan, but at least 30 days), in case you need to recover it. Other commonly used shortcuts are ‘Photos’, ‘Signatures’ (which only come as part of some of the paid plans), and ‘Shared’. You’ve also got a few shortcuts to ‘Recents’, and ‘Starred’ work that you’ve favorited in order to be able to resurface easily at a later date.

‘All files’ is where you’ll see the files and folders that you’ve set up, much like you would in Windows File Explorer or Finder. Navigating the online portal is fairly easy and things are logically laid out.
