Dropbox Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives
Dropbox is file storage and transfer, not a wedding photo gallery. Its most useful wedding feature is file requests: people can upload files to your Dropbox even without a Dropbox account, and it can also create view-only QR codes for files and folders. That helps for collecting files from organized contributors; the files land in a folder rather than an event gallery.
