"The main feature that I found the most valuable is the ability to link the documents such that they are automatically taken to a page where you can review them."
"We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content."
"I don't need to carry my laptop while traveling. I just synchronize whatever I've been doing to Dropbox. After the document is synchronized, I can leave my laptop and use Dropbox wherever I am. I can also easily share a document with my colleagues, no matter how big it is. I can allow them to edit, and the editing will be instant. I can see whatever changes they've made to the document. It doesn't delete a document automatically. If I make a mistake and delete a file, it doesn't automatically delete the file. It gives you the warning to say you're deleting a file. In terms of security, I haven't had any challenges with Dropbox where they tell you that your data is compromised."
"The solution is reliable and user-friendly."
"The scalability is great for us."
"The performance has been good."
"I think it’s probably the best self-hosted file sync tool on the market."
"The user interface is not very intuitive."
"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item."
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."
"There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."
"They should integrate the solution with more email services."
"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"We are moving to Microsoft Teams. Instead of Dropbox, we will be using Microsoft Teams that has the advantage of saving the versions. It supports file versioning so that you can always go back to the previous version if you want to. If somebody has made a change in one of the files and you don't know what changes have been made, you can always go back to the previous version. This feature led us to migrate to Microsoft Teams. With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work. This feature is there in Google Files. In Microsoft Teams, you can invite team members to collaborate. That is the reason why I prefer Microsoft Teams over Dropbox. It should also have more integration with other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"The product could always offer more storage."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"I would like to see more storage included and more lessons on how to optimize it."
"Even with fast disks, it still takes a fair bit of time to write most schema changes to multi-GB tables."
