Effective cloud services for sharing, storage, and working
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is free and can be used across several gadgets for sharing, storing, and working using cloud services. You can use Dropbox to send and receive files between two devices under the same account by uploading from one and downloading to another. Dropbox is practical for long-term storage and constant backups, which you can enable after selecting the necessary files. With 2FA using Google, your Dropbox is safe, and no one other than you can view your files. If you want others to view your files, you can generate URLs for them using which they can view and download the file. You can also authorize permission to edit the file, which will create another version of the file rather than overwriting it. Group editing and tasks can be completed quickly over Dropbox as anyone with access can download the files whenever they please rather than waiting for you to share links every time. You can perform more extensive tasks and create a group work environment using Tools. Seamless integration with other software is what I like best about Dropbox.
What do you dislike about the product?
Low storage would be my only gripe against Dropbox, but it's manageable, and the other features heavily outweigh the cons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox enables cloud storage and collaboration during remote work since it works effectively over the cloud. Sending and receiving files has never been more seamless. Dropbox has been an effective medium for long-term file storage and constant backups of vital information. Dropbox syncs across multiple gadgets easily, making it easy to access any cloud file at will. With Tools, there's no task we cannot complete, whether documentation, spreadsheets, presentation slides, etc. We can simultaneously work on completing individual and group tasks seamlessly. For people outside our group, such as clients and temporary contractors, we can share files without granting them editing access, which is more convenient than conventional means. I also use Dropbox whenever I want to move files from my laptop to my phone or computer or vice versa. Certain file types, such as images, videos, documents, etc., can be viewed and read without downloading, thereby saving data. Offline viewing of files also helps when we're limited on bandwidth or the access to the internet is intermittent.
"One of the earliest solution for Cloud Storage, sharing and syncing files across devices"
What do you like best about the product?
My first platform for cloud storage was and still is Dropbox. The interface is very simple to use and works great for keeping your important files as you can access these files from anywhere. Works great when you need to share your file with one or multiple people as you just need to share the link of your file. No fear of losing your important files with the loss of your device or storage!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I feel is the limited amount of storage you get for free and the price you need to pay for additional storage. I would surely love it if we get more storage for free as currently, I get only 2.25 GB of free storage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox is helping me to keep my important documents on the cloud so that I can access them from anywhere. This certainly saves time and prevents us from making multiple copies of the same file. Sharing also becomes easy saving your time and improving productivity.
no more large size of hard drive
What do you like best about the product?
easy to upload/download and easy to share
What do you dislike about the product?
The size limitation of a free account which I wish to be bigger
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While we are not able to share large size of files with our customers, the best solution was Dropbox
Essential for storage, live updates, and backups
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is free and can be used anywhere to create secondary copies of important files, store essential data, and edit them on the cloud. You can use Dropbox alone or in collaboration with others. Any file you've uploaded to Dropbox can be shared with anyone using its URL, which you can share manually or by inviting them through their email. You can make your file private if you no longer want people accessing it with the URL. Dropbox also creates frequent backups of files from your computer from the selected folders. You can use Dropbox from your phone and other portable devices for backups, storage, and sharing between devices. You can share files with people by sending them to their Dropbox without needing a URL. Dropbox provides statistical information such as how many times your file has been viewed, downloaded, etc. Dropbox Paper, an extension of Dropbox, can be used for work collaboration needs. You can make new docs and slides, which you can work on with your coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Out of all cloud storage and backup software, Dropbox offers the least storage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Routine updates and backups, seamless storage, and easy file sharing are the problems Dropbox is helping us solve. We use it as a work platform to share files and collaborate on docs over Dropbox Paper. Whether on a phone or computer, file sharing via Dropbox is instant and secure over any connection. When we're working remotely, Dropbox makes it convenient to share files over a stable network, where the files can be viewed and downloaded at any time and multiple times if necessary. Having shared folders makes it convenient to authorise access to all the files inside them, enabling smoother file editing and productivity. You can quickly recover any deleted file on Dropbox, as there's a limit of 30 days before they're permanently gone. Dropbox Paper has been a vital tool in making collaborating easier. Instead of using Office 365 on the desktop and screen-sharing, we've found simultaneous editing on Dropbox Paper more efficient. We can also send files that may exceed our storage limit using the P2P system, which surpasses any of its competitors.
Very useful. Good storage and easy to get links to folders or files shared.
What do you like best about the product?
Sharing is easy. A certain amount of storage is free. and upgrades are not too much money.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't had any problems so far. Maybe if it could make pretty shortlinks too that would be cool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use files and folders to give out things to my email subscribers. I can use it to share epk files for venue gig promotion. or have people pay and then give them an item's link to access it.
Been using it for 11 years so far
What do you like best about the product?
I have all my files in dropbox and I use it as safe storage so I never worry about losing a file also it's very easy to share whatsoever with simple clicks, I don't think I can live without it
What do you dislike about the product?
except for the dropbox password manager, they still need some serious work to be done, hope they can solve it very soon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sharing and saving files, lately they have added singing documents so it's very handy for my business,
Easy to use cloud storage and backup
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to recover after my computer crashes. I rebuild windows and connect to dropbox. Install the app and my files are all restored to where they were just before the crash happened.
What do you dislike about the product?
In todays cost for storage I would like to see more storage space included with the plans. I know 2 TB sounde like a lot but if you've downloaded movies from iTunes that can be eaten up fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing files that may be too big to send via email through dropbox is quick and easy. Rich click the file and create the link. Send this to the person you want to share with and you are done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They offer a 2TB free plan to test out the service. Try it out and see.
great file hosting service for group work
What do you like best about the product?
Access anywhere as long as you are connected.
Able to easily search files with own keywords.
As long as it is stored, files can be retrieved even years after!

What do you dislike about the product?
A bit too costly. Hopefully, increase the allowed space for a lower cost.
Need to figure out a time limit when a file can be still shareable to a 3rd party not in your group.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy sharing of files and not losing them even if your device wears out!
Stays in the cloud as long as you want it, files do no tgo bad or corrupted unlike stored in a device.

Dropbox Business is a necessary part of our workflow.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Dropbox all day, every day. love how easy it is to find ANYTHING at all-- super quickly. All of our clients files going back years are easily accessible, sharable, and always there. And you can control the sharability and revoke it as needed when projects end.
Dropbox file sharing is an integral part of how my business runs. It's enabled me to cut email largely out of the mix when it comes to sharing and sending drafts and final versions of documents to clients. And, unlike attaching things to an email, if I find a mistake or have to make edits *after* the document has been sent to the client, I can do so, usually before they've even noticed . ;)
Version history has saved my life many a time. Being able to roll back to a previous good version of a file is a massive benefit.
It's easy to implement and use across devices too--my PC, laptop, phone, and iPad are all connected, so no matter where I am I can pick up and work on documents in progress, or share them as needed.
The search seems to have inmproved lately, too. I scan my personal files/ important documents onto Dropbox, and anytime I need to pull up some random tax or insurance document, it's right there.
Dropbox is secure. I trust its security. However, for some reason, some larger Enterprise clients (or at least their IT departments) do not. For those clients, none of their employees can access Dropbox through their firewall, so I have had to find some workarounds for file sharing. I believe Dropbox should do a better job communicating trust to these larger companies, or, if there are truly security issues to be concerned about, shoring those up.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm hesitant to integrate Dropbox's ancillary offerings into my workflow/tech stack/SOPs, because they keep either 1) working weirdly, 2) being poorly supported, or they get 3) straight up discontinued (perhaps because of 1 and 2).
PAPER
I didn't like that there still wasn't full integration with Dropbox Paper for years. I think that has been addressed, but it took so long that I long since moved on to other solutions for collaborative documents, so I haven't looked into what the latest is there.
(The folder structure of Paper was entirely separate from Dropbox, making it so that documents created in Paper couldn't be stored in project folders -- you would have to have clients look in two separate places for relevant documents. I believe they have now been integrated in some way.)
CAPTURE | SEND & TRACK
I just got a notification that both Dropbox Capture and Dropbox Send & Track are being discontinued. I was using Capture fairly often to send clients async meetings and overviews of drafts (I'm a designer), and it was great for that. The desktop app was helpful. I liked being able to see when the video was opened, and to be able to track analytics on it. And much like reviewing videos on Dropbox, comments could be made at certain timestamps. I suppose it's back to using Loom now, or recording my screen with Camtasia, uploading to Dropbox, and sharing the link to that video. It'll mean using another platform, or going through a lot of extra steps.
DROPBOX SIGN/ SIGNATURES
I have Dropbox Esssentials, which means I have access to "SIGNATURES" on my sidebar. Under which, my contract templates and signing history can be seen. HOWEVER, I am not able to send documents out for signatures using SIGNATURES. Error messages result. I spoke to support about this at length, and the solution is for me to, instead, go to Dropbox Sign at sign.dropbox.com, login again there, and then send my documents out using that. It works, but....why can't I use all of the features on Dropbox? Why this workaround? Why are there TWO different and confusing dropbox signature features? It makes no sense.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't have to attach things to emails anymore and have multiple versions of documents going back and forth with clients and contractors. And we dont have to worry about sending large files. It's all there and downloadable from dropbox.
So convenient and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox makes everything so easy to access and collab as a team.
From live notes, to on demand access of docs on the cloud is amazing.
