Dragonflies are helpful to humans because they eat flies and midges and many other irritating insects that accumulate in large numbers where we do not want them. They are not harmful at all to us.

Dragonflies are a ferocious predator of the insect world, devouring other insects. They have been around since before dinosaurs and are an integral part of many ecosystems. They are not harmful to humans.

Both. They're completely carnivorous and may eat herbivores that are plant pests, but also pollinators that help the plant reproduce. I've seen them feast on aphids (pests) but also hoverflies (helpful) and butterflies (caterpillar is harmful, adult can be helpful).

Since they don't eat plants or sting people, but they do eat mosquito larvae and mosquitoes, I'd say they are basically helpful

They are helpful. Dragonflies kill mosquitos and black flies, which can be beneficial.
