Which one should you pick?
Pick Bunny.net if
You’re building around developer-driven hosting. Bunny is the European pay-as-you-go CDN and video platform that prices like infrastructure should, $0.01/GB for North American and European bandwidth.
Pick Dropbox if
You’re building around cross-team collaborators. Dropbox is what every podcaster falls back on when nothing else is set up — file sync that works on every device, guest links that don't require a login, and storage that's no longer cheap relative to Google Drive. The 2GB free tier is a joke in 2026, and the three-user Business minimum punishes solo operators.

Frequently asked
What does Bunny.net do better than Dropbox?
Bunny.net's standout is "$0.01/GB CDN bandwidth in EU/NA". Dropbox doesn't make that promise — it leans into "Reliable sync across every major platform" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Bunny.net; if the second does, pick Dropbox.
What are the trade-offs?
Bunny.net: diy workflow, not a turnkey podcast host. Dropbox: 2gb free tier is laughably small. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Dropbox works on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android where Bunny.net doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Bunny.net and Dropbox together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Bunny.net for one show or episode type and Dropbox for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
