Dropbox: Drive, Fichiers Cloud 4+

The city I live in received a direct hit from Hurricane(s) Laura and Delta back-to-back in Aug. 2020. Laura was a Category 4 with sustained winds of 175mph. Delta dropped 17 inches of rain in 4 hours. The damage to my home and the City was extensive. I was shocked and devasted by the damage because I had just retired as the result of a complex hip fracture. I was on crutches and dealing with severe pain.
I had subscribed to the Dropbox Premium version a few months before the storms. After the storm I was unable to afford the monthly fees because the debris cleanup and living expenses in the aftermath of the storm were stretching my wallet to the extreme.
I called DROPBOX Support and explained my situation and indicated I needed to end the subscription. The SUPPORT TEAM was very nice and supportive. They downgraded me to the free version.
I remember that experience with gratitude. And I thank the Dropbox folks for their help. The app. is great. I love how it integrates with my other apps for all kinds of content. It is very useful for creators like myself.

I really love the app and it gives me the ability to share my files between my iPad and my desktop computer easily. I originially got Dropbox because Google Drive was draining my battery by constantly running in the background. Well, my battery has been draining again over time by almost 30% or more at times. I checked my battery usage and Dropbox was running in the background for 7 hours straight. Why? I looked up the issue, and someone mentioned the only way to fix it was to disable it in the File app on my device, but I don’t want to do that, because sometimes I do need to access things from that app, or move things that way. I understand that it checks the folder in Files and makes sure everything is synced to the actual Dropbox app, but 7 hours? There’s also an issue where if I upload items to Dropbox within the app, if I close the app, it stops uploading. I have to have the app open for it to finish uploading. I’ve never had to deal with that before. Not sure if these are Apple issues or Dropbox issues. I hope there’s another fix for it though, because I shouldn’t be going to sleep with my iPad at 100% and waking up to it already down to 70%. I guess I will do the temporary fix in files for now, unless I find another cloud service that doesn’t drain my battery all day.

My smart phone has my resume in pdf. Form and that should be it. But no, these stupid app companies are in bed together and so I have to keep downloading app after app after app just apply for jobs. Each app just another security risk, just another way for my info to end up in the wrong hands. Might as well be you know what in a box, Totally unacceptable. Zero stars is the real review. Stop making cloud based crap we already have through oh idk the 16 other apps that do a similar job.
This is an edit...after reading some reviews I ask those people if they are using windows 98? Do you not remember that our smart phones and their services were already doing all of this? Did you not already have cloud based service through your smart phone brand or google? Why accept yet another app that is cloud based for yet another way to have your private photos and documents out in another cloud. “The devs are smart” yeah after building the same features into every other cloud based app they realized they needed another job so here is Dropbox, next year it will be “boxdrop” or “doccushare3000”! I’m sure there is some feature that is unique to Dropbox that has you all saying that it’s totally different. You mean something that could have just been added to any other cloud based service? I know it’s free but I didn’t want another app on my phone, another account, another, another, another, another......
