Great tools for client review, terrible tools for downloading of large data sets
What do you like best about the product?
I use Dropbox as a way to deliver videos for client review and Dropbox provides very convenient tools for commenting. I developed a workflow to use comments in the Dropbox interface as tasks to complete following client review, and leaving detailed notes creates a very useful "paper trail" of conversations to review prior iterations of an edited video.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tools to download large quantities of data are very rudimentary. If I want to download a folder with a large volume of data to my computer (number of files is high AND there's a large total size of data) I either have to 1)use the Dropbox app which will force me to sync desktop with my entire Dropbox UNLESS I fiddle with sync settings, which is very inconvenient, 2)Download a zip archive of the entire folder via the web, which will likely fail, 3)Individually download each and every file in the folder which is time consuming, or 4)Download onto my iPhone or iPad via the Dropbox app and then Airdrop to my PC, which is both time consuming AND fiddly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox provides a FAST way to upload video, send them for client review, AND providing a platform for client notes to be itemized.
Reasonably good for active music production files, but always feels like a sell
What do you like best about the product?
I like best that I can access music files on different device easily. It is more simple than Google Drive or iCloud for this purpose. I like that I can upload voice notes directly to Dropbox. It is reasonably good for file management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like the perpetual ask to buy more services. It feels predatory and makes me not want to pay for additional services. I dislike that there are not intermediate options for additional data usage. I dislike that I start getting "low space" warnings at 50%. I dislike the app and that it is constantly showing that offline or downloaded files are not there.
I dont like the difficultly of moving files between folders.

This seamless integration and adaptability have deeply embedded Dropbox into my workflow, making it a go-to tool for file storage and sharing.

What do you dislike about the product?
Dropbox’s free storage is quite limited, with only 2 GB available on the basic plan. This is significantly less than what competitors like Google Drive, which offers 15 GB, or MEGA, which provides 20 GB, give to their users. For most people, this small amount of space is quickly used up, making it almost necessary to upgrade to a paid plan sooner rather than later.
When it comes to pricing, Dropbox is known for being secure and reliable, but its paid subscriptions are relatively costly. Other services often provide more storage or additional features for a similar price. For instance, the individual “Plus” plan is about €12 per month for 2 TB of storage, whereas Google One or Microsoft 365 tend to offer better value, especially with their integrated applications.
In terms of file management, Dropbox’s interface is straightforward and easy to use, but it lacks some advanced organizational tools. Features like tagging, color labels, or more detailed sorting options are missing, which can make managing a large number of files less efficient.
Another consideration is that Dropbox does not offer full end-to-end encryption. While your files are encrypted both during transfer and while stored, Dropbox still has the technical ability to access your data if required for security or legal reasons.
The mobile app is reliable for viewing and sharing files, but it falls short when it comes to editing documents. Compared to Google Drive or Office apps, Dropbox’s mobile experience is less versatile for creating or making significant changes to files.
