We primarily use all aspects of Dropbox, from storage to file transfers.
I use it for notes when I'm in meetings so I can share it with my team. I use it for sharing files as well.
We primarily use all aspects of Dropbox, from storage to file transfers.
I use it for notes when I'm in meetings so I can share it with my team. I use it for sharing files as well.
The way you can share files by sending a link is very good. It also allows us to have all of our files on our smartphone, tablet, or computer. It's really great to have access to our files from anywhere at any moment.
The solution is very fast and simple. If I want to share a file I can put it on the cloud or on-premise. It's user-friendly.
The pricing could be better and/or more clear. Right now, they have a strange way of splitting pricing. It's a bit complicated and not clear for users.
I've been using the solution for three years.
The solution is stable. Sometimes I have to restart the solution because there is a problem. It's not often. I don't know if it's due to my computer or due to my connection.
The solution is very scalable.
In France, I have a direct connection to Dropbox. In general, I've been satisfied.
We didn't previously use a different solution.
The initial setup is straightforward. They have a great onboarding process that guides everything. Deployment takes about ten minutes. You only need one person to handle the implementation.
I handled the implementation myself.
We previously evaluated WeTransfer.
We use the cloud deployment model.
I would recommend the solution. It's user-friendly, easy to activate and easy to use.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. The features are great but the pricing needs adjustment.
I generally use Dropbox for exchanging large scale documents or large files, and things of that nature.
Dropbox is a cloud-based solution.
A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it.
Dropbox could probably be improved around the integrated security, but those options are probably available. I don't have much of a view on improvements, based on the relatively few occasions that I use it.
I've been using Dropbox sporadically for years, probably since it first came out.
Dropbox is stable, and I'm happy with it. As long as you've got things from a security point of view, it's fine.
For my usage, it's scalable enough.
There is probably a relatively small number of Dropbox users in my organization because we use SharePoint and other solutions as well.
I have never contacted technical support. I would just ask my own technical people if I needed anything.
In my organization, we also use SharePoint and other solutions.
There is no installation for something like Dropbox.
I don't pay for a license to use Dropbox.
I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten. I would recommend Dropbox to others. It's okay, and it's a private, mature solution, but I don't use it particularly as a business tool.
Dropbox is a cloud platform for storing data.
The solution is easy to use.
I have been selling this solution for a few years.
The solution is scalable.
We have approximately 15 customers using this solution.
We provide many solutions similar to Dropbox, such as OneDrive and SharePoint.
The solution is expensive.
I would recommend this solution but it depends on their use case. There could be another solution that fits their use case better.
I rate Dropbox a seven out of ten.
The fact that it is accessible anywhere is the solution's most valuable feature.
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 solution is stable. I haven't experienced any technical glitches or anything of that nature while using it over a number of years.
I only use a free account, so my storage is very limited. That's the only problem for me but other than that I think it is pretty scalable.
I used Box for work, which I found to be better, but it was a business account. For me, Box was easier to use. Using it on my mobile was much simpler.
The initial setup is extremely easy.
I use the free version of the solution. If you need more storage, you do need to pay a certain amount of money for it.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
The solution is very similar to Box. If I have the file on my computer, it will sync automatically. I would very rarely, for instance, access it online if I'm on my laptop. It's only the mobility aspects of it that are not so simple or quick.
The ability to share files across the world with business partners, family and friends is the most valuable feature. I learned of Dropbox from a friend after an adventure zip lining. Ever since I had used it for personal collaboration and file sharing and pictures that we wouldn't want to post on Facebook.
Shared folders count against your total storage space. So I have had to delete multiple libraries in order to receive a share.
Finding and sharing links to files and libraries are often a pain to find and manage.
Dealing with permissions are an issue. Sometimes we need to find a person's email address. Some people use three to four different emails. Someone added me to a library via email, but later when needing to send me an email, they couldn't find it. Dropbox would not give them my email address, the one they had to submit in the first place to add me to the list.
Shared folders from other people don't count against your total size.
Personal address book so when we add someone, they're information is saved so we can lat a later time email them or add the person to another share.
Larger storage allocations as two GB is eaten up quite fast with sharing of pictures, video and files.
Lower price range. The cost for gain is just not lined up with other business offerings.
A much easier to navigate web interface. Sharing a file should be as easy as sharing a YouTube video. Finding that link is not always so simple.
I've had no issues with deployment.
I've had no issues with stability.
I've had no issues with scalability, except the limited total storage space.
A year or two back, we were upgrading a Customer Relations Management (CRM) database system. The database is heavily used among 8,000+ employees and was severely lagging in response times. This means longer times on phones with clients and a lower satisfaction rating with both employee and client.
So we upgraded the main database to a massive IBM K series Power running AIX. But now the SAN was the bottleneck. The 10TB Tier 1 SAN we were using just wasn't fast enough. So the database was split into archive and 4 year data. But the mix of spinning disk and SSD was just not giving us the cutting edge we needed to provide our staff with blazing fast performance and a higher degree of customer satisfaction with shorter phone time.
So we went back and threw the budget away and went with a 100% SSD solution. The storage team had never done anything like this so we had to work with them on acquisition and building. Then we ran 12 Fibre cables from the back of the IBM system to the SAN switch and to the SAN. We made it so it was exclusive to this system to remove any potential bottlenecks.
The directly attached SSD has performed amazingly since the switch and has bolstered employee productivity, report generation speeds and a slew of other tasks directly related to the CRM platform.
Dropbox can be used for documents, secret documents, and backups.
Dropbox's most valuable features are ease of use and performance.
Dropbox could improve by being more secure.

The implementation of Dropbox is simple.
I did the implementation of the solution.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.
My primary use case is to store files and photos. Since this is a cloud-based solution, it's always updated to the latest version.
A valuable feature is that it stores my files and photos. I'm satisfied with this product.
Dropbox could be improved by reducing the storage price.
I have been using Dropbox for a couple of years.
This solution is quite stable.
Dropbox is scalable.
I also use Google Drive and OneDrive.
The installation is very straightforward and quite easy. It took just a couple of minutes.
I implemented this solution myself.
I pay for a yearly license.
I didn't evaluate other options before using Dropbox.
I rate Dropbox a 10 out of 10. I would likely recommend this solution to others considering using it.
