Some days ago, my friend asked me if there was any way to move the Apple Music playlist to Dropbox so that he could listen to them.

Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by the American company Dropbox, In, and is also a modern workspace designed to reduce busywork so you can focus on the things that matter. It offers cloud storage, file synchronization, personal cloud, and client software.

Dropbox can create a special folder on the user's computer, the contents of which are then synchronized to Dropbox's servers and to other computers and devices that the user has installed Dropbox on, keeping the same files up-to-date on all devices. Dropbox uses a freemium business model, where users are offered a free account with a set storage size, with paid subscriptions available that offer more capacity and additional features.

Dropbox is widely used, which offers computer apps for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux computers, and mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets.

Since Dropbox is so powerful, why we can't move or copy Apple Music songs to Dropbox?

Apple Music is a streaming music service. The subscribed users can freely listen to and download Apple Music songs as they like. Even if they download these Music songs to play them offline, they still can’t transfer them to other devices like Dropbox because of Apple Music's DRM.

With DRM limitations, when you stop subscribing to Apple Music, all the files, including the downloaded files, can't be playable until you subscribe again.

That's why you can even copy the folder to other devices but can't open them. If you want to move the Apple Music playlist to Dropbox, it is helpful to record Apple Music.
