Cloud Storage & File Sharing · head-to-head

Dropbox vs Gyazo

Dropbox

Dropbox is a cloud file-storage and sync platform, and its API lets apps read, write, and share files and folders in a user's Dropbox account. A live POST against the real gateway, api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account, returned a 400 without a token, reconfirming OAuth 2.0 auth over HTTPS, and a follow-up OPTIONS preflight echoed the request Origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin, resolving cors from unknown to yes. The free Basic plan includes 2GB of storage, with paid Plus, Professional, and Business tiers raising the cap and adding team features.

Gyazo

Gyazo is a screenshot and screen-capture sharing service whose API lets apps upload images and GIFs and fetch a user's capture history. A live GET against the real gateway, api.gyazo.com/api/images, returned a 401 without a token, reconfirming API-key auth over HTTPS, and a follow-up OPTIONS preflight returned Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors from unknown to yes. The free tier covers everyday screenshot sharing, while a paid Gyazo Pro plan adds unlimited uploads, higher-res captures, and privacy controls.
