A diferença real
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. Proton Drive counters with End-to-end encrypted file storage and sharing and Zero-access encryption — even Proton cannot read your files.
Dropbox's Achilles heel: only 2 gb free is laughable in 2026 — google gives 15 gb and most competitors give 5–10 gb. Proton Drive's: storage amounts are small for the price — 200gb for $4/mo when google gives you 100gb for $2/mo. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value smart sync for disk space management and freelancers e times pequenos, go with Dropbox. If usuários privacy-first que já matters more, Proton Drive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
