Cons
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"Dropbox needs to increase its storage.""Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering.""The mobile aspect of the solution needs improvement. For instance, if I want to use a file from Dropbox on my phone, I sometimes struggle to download images off of Dropbox. The solution lacks accessibility on different devices.""The free storage amount should be increased.""It would be good if they could market themselves as a safe solution for corporates. Currently, most corporates don't see it as a safe area to share within.""The price is expensive for individual users.""Considering the solution's shortcomings, I want the product to be more user-friendly and offer more storage capacity.""They can maybe provide a bit more free space. By default, they give you 2 Gigabytes. The storage space could be a bit more."
