Recurrent problems center on billing and subscription barriers to data access, sign-in issues, reliability bugs (update loops, network errors, file access), and occasional poor customer support. ### Pros - Reliable, fast cloud storage with strong cross-device synchronization and a user-friendly interface. - Easy uploading and sharing of files across devices. - Perceived as safe/secure storage for files. ### Cons - Subscription/pricing model frequently blocks access to existing data and can involve unexpected charges or hidden cancellation issues. - Sign-in/login problems prevent access (e.g., inability to sign in or sign-in with Google accounts). - Reliability bugs and errors (e.g., update loop asking to update, check connection errors, and difficulty opening/downloading files or accessing offline content). - Customer support is perceived as unhelpful or unresponsive in at least some cases. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Cloud Storage: Drive Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloud.storage.extrastorage.gbsfreespace) — 215,408 users, 4.42 / 5 - [Cloud Drive: Secure Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.abl.cloud.backup.restore) — 22,928 users, 4.81 / 5 - [Secure Cloud Storage & Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pentabit.secure.cloud.storage.phone.data.backup.drive) — 41,374 users, 4.33 / 5 - [Droovie Cloud](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.oodrive.droovie) — 11 users - [Cloud Storage App: Cloud Drive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloudstorageapp.clouddrive.cloudbackup) — 33,129 users - [Microsoft OneDrive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.microsoft.skydrive) — 6,036,891,078 users, 4.61 / 5 - [Cloud Photo, Video Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ha.cloudphotostorage.cloudstorage.backup) — 10,215 users, 4.20 / 5 - [Drime: Files Cloud Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/cloud.drime.app) — 7,989 users, 3.84 / 5 - [Sync - Secure cloud storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sync.mobileapp) — 1,881,979 users, 3.96 / 5 - [File Backup: Cloud Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.filebackup.cloudstorage.storagespace) — 2,689 users - [1Cloud Storage: Data Backup](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.betavn.cloudbackup.storagespace.databackup.free) — 426 users - [Private Cloud Storage](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cloud.storage.eline.cloudStorage) — 23 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dropbox.android)
