Dropbox integrates easily with the OS across platforms and is seamless enough in operation that even fairly naive users can work with it. It has both advantages and disadvantages when compared with OneDrive or Google Drive. Like its rival services, Dropbox can make files available across multiple devices, downloading them only when required so as to preserve space on storage-limited devices such as phones or laptops.

Dropbox is easy to implement and integrate into most workflows because it becomes part of the computer's regular file system, meaning there is a negligible onboarding process. Sharing folders among collaborators or with clients is simple, with one major caveat: Regardless of your total cloud storage limit, any collaboration space is limited to that of the lowest-tier account among your collborators. Additions, subtractions, and changes to the contents of shared folders propagate seamlessly to all users who share the folder, almost in real time.

Non-trivial advantages of Dropbox, similar to other cloud storage services, are seamless file versioning and file recovery (trash folder). They come with the service automatically, so there is no need for setup like Apple's Time Machine or Microsoft's File History. If a client deletes a working file or folder accidentally or through ignorance, recovery is simple.

Dropbox Transfer, which comes with the service, makes it easy to send locally stored files or folders to anyone, much like WeTransfer and other file transfer services. Dropbox copies the item to the cloud independent of its regular storage and provides a link that is valid, by default, for a week. Anyone clicking the link can download the file. Password protection is available at the "Dropbox Professional" account tier and above.

An advantage of Dropbox over other cloud storage services since it first started is the proprietary way it handles file changes. The service is able to analyse the internal differences between the online and local versions at a binary level, and transfer only the differences to bring the copies in sync. In environments where bandwidth is limited or usage is metered, especially if very large files are common, this can be a strong argument in favor of Dropbox. These situations are increasingly rare, however, as "unlimited data" wireless and satellite broadband broadband grow faster and more available.

A final point in Dropbox's favor that will be important to some users is that it doesn't belong to Google or Microsoft and it takes a hands-off approach to the user's files if they aren't stored under the local Dropbox folder. Both Google and Microsoft, by contrast, actively try to intervene in the local system and automatically upload things that the user may not want and even may not know about.

What do you dislike about the product?

Collaborative workflows have limitations when compared with OneDrive (MS Office) and Google Drive (Google's office equivalents). In OneDrive and Google Drive, documents are saved automatically as you work, and if two or more people are working on the same document at the same time, OneDrive and Google Drive make the users and their changes visible to one another in real time. None of this is happens with Dropbox, nor does it respect file locks to prevent conflicts. Instead, it saves multiple "conflicted copy" versions to indicate they are out of sync with one another, leaving it to the users to sort out.

Dropbox takes an aggressive "never take 'no' for an answer" approach to upselling, which can be intrusive and annoying, and a few important features like deleted file storage and versioning are limited at less-expensive tiers. By comparison with OneDrive and Google Drive, Dropbox is, at this writing, a more expensive option that requires careful consideration of features vs. cost to justify its use. For business uses from SMB to enterprise-level Sharepoint users, the arguments for Dropbox become harder to justify in comparison with the less-expensive competition that comes with (for all practical purposes) free office applications and network integration.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Makes it easier to work with clients who already use Dropbox, and in my experience is more user-friendly for naive users than OneDrive, Google Drive, or Adobe Document Cloud when I need to send or share files and folders.

What do you like best about the product?

I love how straightforward and intuitive Dropbox is, which makes it incredibly easy to get around. Its user interface is simple and not confusing, making it easy to find settings, create folders, and share folders. I appreciate how it helps me stay organized, both professionally and personally. As a project manager, organization is crucial, and Dropbox allows me to keep all files for various clients in one accessible place, avoiding unnecessary headaches. Its easy file sharing is especially beneficial for my clients, as they can use our professional account without the need to pay for one themselves. The searchability feature is also a standout, enabling me to locate files quickly among the many folders I have. I've been using Dropbox for over a decade, and its simplicity and ease of use continue to be a significant factor in my decision to stick with it. I enjoy it for its reliability and effectiveness in managing both my professional and personal files, and I am always inclined to recommend it to others.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find the pricing structure of Dropbox to be somewhat problematic. Over time, as my storage needs have grown, I noticed there is a significant gap between the storage plans available, which makes upgrading feel like jumping to an unnecessarily large next step. I would prefer a more tiered pricing approach, allowing me to purchase just the amount of storage I require rather than ending up with far more than I need. This would make the service more cost-effective and tailored to my specific needs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Dropbox to keep files organized, eliminating confusion and enabling easy access for both work and personal life, as it provides reliable backup and straightforward sharing features.
