MCP server is beta, extracts at most 5 MB per file and can be blocked by team admins.\n\n**Tigris.** No egress fees, and one endpoint (t3.storage.dev) with region auto for every location. 16 status incidents between 4 July and 2 October 2026, including outages in US regions on 31 July and 2 August.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Dropbox API + MCP\n\n1. Use files/upload under 150 MiB and upload_session above it; append in multiples of 4 MiB and finish within 7 days\n2. For a link that just needs to work for a few hours, call files/get_temporary_link rather than creating a shared link you then have to revoke\n3. Set expires on create_shared_link_with_settings only on a paid account; a Basic account gets an error\n4. Keep the list_folder cursor and call list_folder/continue instead of re-listing\n5. On a rate-limit error wait retry_after seconds; too_many_write_operations means write contention, so serialise writes\n\n### Tigris\n\n1. Point the AWS SDK at https://t3.storage.dev with region `auto`; the stdio MCP README still shows the older fly.storage.tigris.dev endpoint\n2. Ask for an access key with a ReadOnly or ReadWrite role on one bucket rather than an org-wide key\n3. Keep presigned URLs short; Tigris accepts up to 90 days\n4. Don't call tigris_list_objects on a large bucket; it walks every object with no limit or prefix\n5. Use @tigrisdata/iam 2.6.0 or later before writing policies with conditions\n\n## Other comparisons with Dropbox API + MCP or Tigris\n\n- [Amazon S3 vs Dropbox API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-s3-vs-dropbox-api.md)\n- [Backblaze B2 vs Dropbox API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/backblaze-b2-vs-dropbox-api.md)\n- [Box API + MCP vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/box-api-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Cloudflare R2 vs Dropbox API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-r2-vs-dropbox-api.md)\n- [Google Drive API + MCP vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-drive-api-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Amazon S3 vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-s3-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Backblaze B2 vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/backblaze-b2-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Bunny Storage vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bunny-storage-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Cloudflare R2 vs Tigris](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-r2-vs-tigris.md)\n- [Box API + MCP vs Dropbox API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/box-api-vs-dropbox-api.md)\n- [Dropbox API + MCP vs Google Drive API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropbox-api-vs-google-drive-api.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-05", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Dropbox API + MCP vs Tigris", "url": "" } ], "description": "Dropbox API + MCP has a score of 68.2 (B) against Tigris's 44.6 (E).
