الفرق الحقيقي
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Dropbox stands out with Smart Sync for disk space management and Paper for collaborative docs. iCloud counters with Seamless sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac and iCloud Drive with Finder and Files app integration.
Dropbox's Achilles heel: only 2 gb free is laughable in 2026 — google gives 15 gb and most competitors give 5–10 gb. iCloud's: terrible experience on windows and android — and 5gb free in 2026 is embarrassingly stingy. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
الخلاصة
If you value smart sync for disk space management and المستقلون والفرق الصغيرة الذين, go with Dropbox. If مستخدمو apple الذين يريدون matters more, iCloud is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
