"Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits."
"The product's most valuable feature is storage."
"Dropbox offers helpful functionalities for business purposes, such as receiving file requests from external parties like customers who don't have an account. Additionally, it includes features, such as reminders and workflow capabilities."
"I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good."
"The most valuable features I have found to be accessibility and ease of use."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"Dropbox allows me to organize files well. I can name files in such a way as to lead students to the right destination."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are its collaboration capabilities, its communications site and the innovation within the product itself."
"The forms aspect of the solution, for example, the creation of surveys, is its most valuable aspect."
"This solution has provided us with a collaborative workspace to allow everyone to work together and be on the same page."
"It's a very robust product."
"The solution is pretty easy to use for the most part."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."
"The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document."
"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."
"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They can do the scanning of viruses, and they can also do malware detection when they do the synchronization."
"There is a potential improvement regarding storage capacity and offering more than its current four gigabytes."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"The price for storage space is a little expensive."
"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you."
"Many of our customers would like to see an OCR feature, so it would be very good to have this in a future release."
"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."
"I think these tools do a pretty good job. There is only one area of improvement. Maybe Microsoft can invest a little bit more into the ease at which integration can be done with other third party applications."
"The solution needs to be more collaborative. I believe they are just coming up with the themes for this right now."
"The search feature needs improvement. I can never find the information I need when I use it."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
"The ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF."
