# DragBin vs Dropbox — Secure Dropbox Alternative

DragBin is a zero-knowledge, post-quantum encrypted alternative to Dropbox. Where Dropbox relies on server-side encryption and gives only 2 GB free, DragBin gives 25 GB free with client-side encryption that even DragBin cannot decrypt.

## Why switch from Dropbox

- **No zero-knowledge.** Dropbox holds the keys and can scan content on the server.
- **Expensive at scale.** Per-seat pricing punishes growing teams.
- **Limited free tier.** 2 GB free is restrictive compared to modern alternatives.
- **No quantum-resistant cryptography.** Files encrypted today are exposed to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks.

## DragBin advantages

- **End-to-end + zero-knowledge by default** — DragBin cannot read your files.
- **Encrypted metadata** — file names and folder structure are encrypted, not just contents.
- **Integrated global CDN** — faster delivery worldwide.
- **Military-grade + quantum-resistant encryption** — ML-KEM + AES-256.
- **Flat usage-based pricing** — no per-user tax.
- **Up to 80% cheaper per encrypted TB** at scale.
- **25 GB free forever** — 12.5× Dropbox's free tier.

## What Dropbox still does well

- Simple desktop sync.
- Mature sharing workflows and broad integrations.

## Who should switch

- Teams hitting Dropbox's per-seat pricing ceiling.
- Privacy-conscious users who want their cloud provider to be unable to read their files.
- Creators and agencies needing large-file delivery with metadata protection.
