Dropbox Review: Pricing, Pros, Cons & Alternatives
Dropbox is useful file-transfer infrastructure, not a wedding photo gallery. Its strongest wedding-adjacent feature is file requests: people can upload files to your Dropbox even without a Dropbox account. That helps for post-event collection from organized contributors, but it does not create a guest-facing gallery, QR album, live slideshow, comments, or event browsing experience.
