How does this compare to Carousel, Dropbox's photo backup offering from last year?

Carousel is great as long as you have enough Dropbox space for your photos. Anecdotally, I find I could trust Dropbox's backup model more than Apple's because I understand it better.
- comex 12y agoApple's solution has the advantage of working with every app that reads from or writes to the camera roll - i.e. photos are downloaded on demand, and uploaded when taken - rather than only a single manager app. Of course, this is an unfair comparison, since third parties are not allowed to hook that deeply into iOS, but it is what it is.
- danieldk 12y agoOn the other hand, Carousel uploads are in Dropbox, automatically syncing to laptops and desktops, giving direct access to any application.
- hjnilsson 12y agoWell, Photos is a photo management & editing solution in addition to being a photo backup. While Carousel is only a photo backup solution (no albums, no editing controls). So it's not really comparable.
- danieldk 12y agoCarousel does have albums: https://carousel.dropbox.com/help/7475 https://carousel.dropbox.com/help/7475 More annoying is the lack of Chromecast support :).
