A versatile and user-friendly cloud storage and file-sharing service that offers flexible access options, seamless synchronization, reliable performance, and competitive pricing
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I find the flexibility of accessing my data from anywhere to be a significant advantage. The various methods for accessing files, such as through mobile apps, online synchronization, and on a PC, are highly valuable.
What needs improvement?
One aspect that I believe could be enhanced is the family sharing feature. Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering. It would be valuable if it offered an archival service that allows users to transfer active mailbox data into long-term storage. Such a feature would be beneficial for archiving and preserving data over extended periods.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for eight years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
While I am impressed with the scalability aspect, I would like to emphasize the need for more scalability, especially for personal use. I would rate it eight out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have exclusively used Google Drive, including Google Apps for Business, and Dropbox.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup involves configuring the settings, but beyond that, there's minimal maintenance required. Once you've set it up, there's not much in terms of ongoing configuration and upkeep. The vendor handles most of the maintenance tasks, so there's very little for us to do. The deployment time depends on internet latency, but it doesn't take more than half an hour to an hour.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market. The pricing is affordable for a range of businesses, from small to large. I would rate it eight out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
I would highly recommend it. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

Does the job nicely
What do you like best about the product?
Great place to store files and then share them easily with anyone else. The files can remain safe, yet shared. Or, I can make the files editable by whoever I share them with. I really like the integration with my desktop's file structure, and also love that I can transfer from my Google Drive. One of my favorite features is that I can easily convert all of my files to PDF with a single command.
The workflow automation of signatures is a nice feature, but isn't substantial enough for my needs at this time.

Can't automate document workflow to the point where Dropbox will track revisions for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Document sharing and document workflow automation
Fast and convenient platform for sharing large files
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Dropbox's ability to easily share folders with other individuals. The firm I work for shares large files regularly and Dropbox makes it simple to share files quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have many complaints about Dropbox. I just wish that when you selected to download a file directly from Dropbox that it would save the file as is to your computer instead of creating a Zip and adding another step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox is solving the issue of emails bouncing back due to large file sizes. It allows multiple indivuduals to collaborate on and add to a single file.
Dropbox enables to store the data on the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox enables the data on the cloud securely and we can share the data amount the colleagues with limited or modified access. Dropbox enables to use the cloud storage across the various platform like desktop/ mobile
What do you dislike about the product?
If the user has the basic plan then there is a file upload limit
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Dropbox solves is that it allows to storage and distribution of the data over the cloud securely
serves it's purpose
What do you like best about the product?
Pros: folders are easy to organize, and the platform is user friendly for those who aren't entirely computer literate. It is easy to share folders or files with others outside the organization (or restrict access), and there are plenty of plan options for your budget and the amount of space you need. It transfers large files without issue, and the cheapest option provides a substantial amount of data storage (2TB). As a person who used to save essays on a floppy disk, this is great!
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the other process of inviting someone to join your dropbox - not to view/download, but to collaborate. The last time someone 'invited' me to their company dropbox, it was difficult to navigate my own files and theirs, and the login/dashboard defaulted to that company's files instead of my own every time I signed in. Also, much like everything else, prices keep going up, and while the free basic version (2GB) is very nice of them to offer, it is far less than what most people need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storage and file sharing! In my industry we frequently need to send batches of large files/folders to multiple parties at once, and this is a fast and secure way to do it.
Decent Cloud Storage Option
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox has been around for a long time and has been a useful tool for sharing large files that otherwise could be emailed. Dropbox gives you various storage options ranging from free to different levels of paid accounts. Implementation of the application is simple - download, sign-in, and use. Virtually no other setup is required, so it is easy to integrate into any work process.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I don't like, and most of that is more personal opinion than functionality. I dislike that the share option seems to keep getting moved around (Mac version) and can be a little cumbersome to use. I would like to see a faster, more stable syncing (it works, but it can be slow sometimes). I am not fond of the automatic "features" you have to disable -- I appreciate that they try to make it easy for a new user, but for experienced people, it can be a real pain. And lastly, I would love to see an updated and fully rewritten MacOS application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Dropbox solves for me is the ability to easily share large documents with my team without needing everyone to sign up for a service or learn a complicated platform. This saves a lot of time, as there is no need to compress files highly.
It's a very reliable service
What do you like best about the product?
It's very convienent and extremely reliable. It is meant to last a long time, I've used dropbox for years and it still holds up. I think it's best for business and or personal photo use, as it's also extremely safe and guarded.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has some outdated design and technological features that I'd like to see improve up to the times / make it worth competing against other services who have them as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cyber attack / selling information problem. I've never received any reason to believe that DropBox has sold my information or eased up safety walls so that hackers can come in and take my info / look at my stuff. They have a very strong wall and protocol against such attacks that are at the center of technology's problems right now.
Dropbox has a lot of pros and cons
What do you like best about the product?
I love that its easy to upload and create folders to organize my stuff. I shoot video so i have a lot of big sized files that need a place to live. I like how its integrated in so many apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how it's very confusing to share with people sometimes. I also don't like that if I send them a big folder of files, it has to zip the files instead of downloading them individually (unless you click each one).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of sending hard drives back and forth, my company can use Dropbox to send large video files.
