Summary
Apple Music files can not be played on Dropbox due to DRM technology. Here you will learn how to play Apple Music songs and playlist on Dropbox by removing DRM from Apple Music and converting to common MP3 format.

Dropbox is a great solution for storing files in the cloud. You can back up your files, sync them across all the different devices, and share them with your friends. Plus, Dropbox is a music player that lets you use your entire music library between computers and across the cloud. But Dropbox doesn't support playing any audio files from Apple Music due to DRM. In a word, Apple Music files are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) which is a set of access control technologies that restrict the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. That's why you can't transfer Apple Music files directly to Dropbox for streaming.

How can I upload Apple Music songs to Dropbo?

If you can convert Apple music files to the audio formats supported by Dropbox, it's easy to play Apple music songs on Dropbox. However, removing DRM protection is a crucial step. How to do it?

Subscribers are free to enjoy all Apple music songs, and even they can download their favorite music for offline listening. However, once you leave your active subscription account, all downloaded music will not be available. This is one of the DRM restrictions. A third-party Apple Music Converter is especially important when people need to download Apple music songs and playlists for free or want to make downloaded songs be playable forever.

When it comes to removing DRM from Apple Music, you should take advantage of the UkeySoft Apple Music Converter tool. It is a powerful software that can unlock and remove DRM Apple Music files with 16X speed and output MP3, AAC, FLAC or WAV, etc audio files. With built-in batch conversion, you can choose multiple Apple music songs or even entire playlists. Simply click on "Convert" button, the output audio file will retain the original ID3 tag information, including title, artist name and cover picture, etc. Once you get the MP3 Apple Music files, you can easily transfer all converted songs to Dropbox or upload them to other cloud storage service for accessing and playing them on your mobile devices without any restrictions.
