## Kitsmith's take

A genuinely fuller alternative to the official Dropbox app rather than a thin wrapper — a Finder-like browser, on-device Apple Intelligence summaries and Smart Rename that the developer states never leave the Mac, document creation (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) without leaving Dropbox, and a built-in duplicate finder and storage analyzer. Browsing and search are free; everything else sits behind Lifetime ($39.99 one-time), Yearly ($24.99), or Monthly ($4.99) unlocks. Reviews split cleanly along a predictable line: people who paid and it worked are enthusiastic about the design and speed, while a handful of older reviews describe crashes after paying, with the developer responding directly and asking for follow-up by email. Under active, frequent development — the changelog shows updates shipping into August 2026, including a full interface redesign.

## Features

- **On-device AI tools:** Summarize and chat with documents, Smart Rename, and Auto-Organize, run locally via Apple Intelligence rather than a cloud API, per the developer.
- **Create documents without leaving Dropbox:** Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and text files, created directly inside the app.
- **Offline files, duplicate finder, storage analyzer:** Pin files for offline access, find duplicates, and see what’s using the most space — tools the official Dropbox app doesn’t offer.
