Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
What is our primary use case?
I use it just as a backup system on the cloud for my personal documents and pictures.
What is most valuable?
It is very practical and so easy to upload and download files and carry on without my computer. I can work anywhere, and that's correct.
What needs improvement?
I would like to have a document flow. Sharing documents with other people in the same division or department and being able to work without downloading the file would be ideal. Working online would be nice.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used it for maybe five years, yet only in a personal mode.
How are customer service and support?
The support is provided by a special area inside of the company. These are people who have the skills for technology issues. They try to configure and teach other people how to use it. We provide the support ourselves and do not have any support straight from Dropbox.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used SharePoint and ShareFile maybe five years ago for a specific project. I was only a user, not an administrator of the environment.
How was the initial setup?
It is difficult to set up. I'd rate the solution maybe a six or seven out of ten.
What about the implementation team?
Many of our employees are not technical people. They work in energy and are field workers. We have two main groups of people. One is for administrative issues, and the other, which is 70% of the company, consists of field workers. That is about 60 or 70 people, with maybe 12% needing to work with it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I would like to know how to use all of its features or used other options.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation.
Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.
Dropbox: Is it worth the cost?
What do you like best about the product?
The facility to store large graphics files in an easily accessible manner. Backing up files is easier and the syncing of files to other computers is really good. I used this package regularly as I sent and received drawings from various members of design teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of the package is high compared to others and there is more complexity which though I might be able to used, would take time to learn. It is probably worth the cost if you intend to use it regularly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have had to handle large graphics files. These needed to be stored in a space that is easily accessible and that could be sent to others in the design teams. The package allowed me to move information around in a more coordinated manner. Since it is all in the one place, all staff could access it easily .
Free version is great but paid version is better

The ease of sharing files with others and remotely is unmatched in any other file sharing app I've used, even Google docs.
