Image search is great.
But in terms of photo backups Dropbox is inferior to Apple's iPhoto/iCloud (I'm aware of Apple's ability for better integration) but still Google photos is much more functional.
I'm not asking for much but:
- better caching. Their thumbnails slows up badly trying to go back few years ago.
- better organization, search is great but I also like basic ability to visually search and organize content myself.
- live photos support...
I really think this is a missed opportunity in the photo space. There are plenty of editors and tools for photos out there. They can provide something that helps with organization.
Dropbox will do wonders if they had a Picasa like client that simply looked into the Dropbox folders and created albums based on folders and sub-folders structure.

And bugfixing... I've actually had very bad communication with them after they've broke HEIF copy paste on older iPhones... https://www.talaviram.com/uncategorized/when-did-dropbox-cus...
What I can't understand is that they had a super fast and innovative application for photos, Carousel, and they killed it.
Yeah. I've actually started with carousel on Android and indeed it was with great potential. Too bad they've axed it

Google Photos also takes quite a bit with loading older thumbnails, especially a few years ago.
