If you did have to download Finder from the Mac App Store, would that turn Finder into a competitor of Dropbox?

- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoOnly if it means that Finder doesn’t have any special system access privileges - or that Dropbox can do everything Finder can - so Finder and Dropbox would be on equal-footing.
- rchaud 5y agoI'll give my opinion as a consumer. Sometime in early 2019, I bought an iPad (pre ipad OS). I went to a website and downloaded a journal PDF. I had no idea where the file was physically located. Safari didn't provide an indication, and there didn't appear to be a File Manager of any kind built in. So I had to search online for an app, just to locate a a file I had downloaded through the browser. I returned the iPad and went back to Android, which has had file explorers built in since forever (both stock Android or OEM skin). "It just works".
