Dropbox Reviews

The Dropbox feature I like the most is being able to control the level of access I want to give to different people within my team. The second feature that I like is the ability to quickly share multiple documents of different types with the team. Dropbox allows me to organize files well. I can name files in such a way as to lead students to the right destination. 

It would be great to be able to have multiple files open within Dropbox without having to leave the file I'm currently using.

The search could be made more intuitive. Right now, the search function works in a way that is very similar to the way it works on a laptop. Where you'll have a folder within a folder, etc. It would be a lot more intuitive if I could directly put in my link and restore destination rather than sharing the address of that folder.

It would be good if Dropbox could account for grammatical errors as well in the search function. For example, if there is a mistake in the spelling I have put in, it should suggest a destination. 

A better data reviver would also be great.

I have been using this solution for seven months.

If a file is shared with me and I've never opened it, it won't upload it to the local drive. This is very inconvenient if my internet connection goes out. 

We don't have a massive team size; the team is around 60 to 70 people. I've been able to share some files with all of them, while others I've only been able to share with only a few. 

I have no experience with Dropbox's technical support. 

The primary use case of this solution is to store and share files between several devices and also as a repository to have harmonization of the same versions of the same documents.

The deployment model is a hybrid cloud because I use it on my desktop, my laptop, on my mobile, and it operates in the cloud.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to access files and documents from any device, anywhere.

The Security and privacy of this solution need improvement. 

I am always worried about security and privacy. I don't know who can see my information in Dropbox.

There is indeed no way to collaborate in realtime, but for that function I use Google.

This solution is stable, and I have not detected any issues.

This solution is scalable. If you are willing to pay, then you can scale.

I have not contacted technical support.

Previously I used Google storage. Also, I had used a USB key for devices.

Initially, Dropbox was the only solution for desktops. Now, Google has software with the same functionality, they do the same thing.

Dropbox is unique because it was the first.

I am using the free solution, which provides me with 2GBs of storage, and for me, it's sufficient.

Everyone now is on the cloud using some cloud-based solution. Dropbox is not unique anymore, as there are several storage solutions available.

Dropbox is easy to use, easy to share, and easy to store documents and files.

This solution works fine and it has what I need. I am just a simple user. I am satisfied with this solution and I am not changing.

I am using the desktop client and I can upload and move folders.

If you need to share files, then Dropbox is a good solution.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Dropbox is a file hosting service (cloud storage and file-syncing services). Its strong points are

1) Availability of dedicated Apps on any kind of O.S.

2) seamless sync

3) file versioning

I use Dropbox as a personal productivity tool, to always have critical information available using a browser or working on the local copy of the contents.

The versioning feature enabled me to recover documents that I had edited by chance, which was really a life-saver for me

2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)

Some additional features related to photo and video are not interesting for me (probably it depends on the personal requirements)

Five years. However, 2017 is my first year as a Dropbox Plus user.

The installation is really easy. On the mobile devices you have to consider how much information you really need available offline (due to the more limited storage of the smartphone or tablet)

No, the software is fairly stable and reliable

Staying inside the 2Gb of the free subscription is not easy, when you get used to using DropBox

Never used it

Never used it

Onedrive (previously SkyDrive) was my favorite but some features that I am used to are not available

Installation is almost trivial

I am in a single user scenario

For many years it costed zero to me and granted a lot of features I needed.

Also if now I am a paying customer, I still feel the money is well spent.

A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated

Onedrive, Gdrive and EverNote. I use all of them along with Dropbox, but the latter is my main Cloud storage option.

Dropbox is very easy to use in a team environment. It is also great when sharing data with external parties. The small business version gave us ample capacity.

With Dropbox, team members around the world have access to up-to-date content.

• Price
• Dropbox, like many file sharing tools, needs to synch to a local hard drive. That is a bit difficult with 5TB Dropbox content.

Before decommissioning Dropbox, we used it for two years.

We could not get Dropbox to run effectively on a NAS. While in theory the tools are available, the synchronization never worked.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

Customer service is good. We received responses to our questions.

While they didn't give us the answer we needed, it was quite good.

We actually switched away from Dropbox to OneDrive though Office365.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

There is no need to deploy a vendor for a basic setup. Perhaps for more complex requirements, like running on a NAS, we should have deployed a vendor. But given the many options in place, it was easier to switch.

We were unable to establish a tangible ROI.

Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available.

We did not evaluate other options. At the time, Dropbox was recommended by peers and it appeared to be the most compelling option.

Dropbox has some excellent features. Some of its contraints are not exclusive to Dropbox. Given the options available these days, Dropbox for business is overpriced.

I am using Dropbox to store photos and documents to share with other colleagues, clients, or my family.

The most valuable features I have found to be accessibility and ease of use.

The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

Dropbox is scalable.

There are a lot of people who are working in organizations or educational institutions that do not provide a lot of storage or a place to store files, this is a very useful option.

I rate Dropbox a six out of ten.

I use Dropbox for file storage and file-sharing with other people.

The solution is easy to use, everyone can use it.

There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office 365 for more collaboration. At the present time, it is more focused on its own internal systems.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

You can increase the size of Dropbox storage making it scalable.

I have previously used Microsoft personal storage OneDrive.

There is a subscription-based pricing model and I pay monthly.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

The use case is to keep all the files that your device can't handle. It can go up to two terabytes.

It offers convenience. It can connect with all devices that you own.

They can do the scanning of viruses, and they can also do malware detection when they do the synchronization.

I have been using this solution for a few years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have around 30 users.

I haven't contacted their technical support.

I didn't use any other solution previously.

Its initial setup is very straightforward.

We pay for the license yearly.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Dropbox a nine out of 10.

I use it to sort out the space limitation for emails and real-time file sharing and editing. 

It is the best solution in terms of space, file sharing, and live editing. I can share and edit files with multiple users.

They can provide more storage. Data is something that everybody is after. Any organization that has the requirement of data for any type of analysis will definitely need increased storage.

I have been using it since I started working.

Almost everyone in our organization is using this solution.

I have never contacted their technical support.

It is a cloud-based solution, but there is a desktop version as well that you can install on your local machine to increase the upload and download speed.

I would recommend this solution. Even if I don't recommend it, people know it very well. It is a famous brand and a famous product.

I would rate Dropbox a 10 out of 10.
