"It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features."
"Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download."
"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."
"A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with OneDrive, which has allowed us, a small business, easy access to a cloud environment, with no need to back up the data from five different computers."
"It is stable."
"There's a lot there in terms of apps and features."
"There are all sorts of really good tools for use on the information security side that allow us to make sure that our people are doing business and doing business right."
"Quarantine email alerts to users to allow the email to their inbox (tricky but handy) - tricky if one doesn't have third-party email security, handy if one has got good third party email security)."
"My primary use case is for preparing presentations to teach, often on PowerPoint."
"Reliable without any glitches."
"They should archive the data."
"The free storage can be increased."
"Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering."

"I would like to see an option to secure my files and set password protection to my folders."
"The search could be made more intuitive."
"Dropbox can improve by enhancing the capacity of storage in the free version."
"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."
"The feature to convert PDF file to a Word document needs improvement as well as the feature to save the file automatically when typing, without using the save command."
"I started working a lot on Microsoft Teams and I find it a bit vast. It should be divided out a bit so that someone can use it for basic functionality, like audio, video, and calls. Then, if someone wants more advanced functionality for file sharing and team creation, and so on, they could use a separate app."
"Sometimes the configurations of the error troubleshooting are pretty problematic and there are a lot of issues that happen even if you follow the step-by-step guides. They can work on fixing this issue. If there are a lot of issues in your Windows or your Office or anything, you restart your PC and it works. They need to get rid of this need."
"Improvements can be made to the products generic offering. It's not customized for health care. It doesn't understand the meaning of health care related concepts. Providing a greater degree of industry specificity would make the tool much more unique and valuable."
"Integration between Outlook calendar and Google Calendar would be a good improvement since many of our team use Android phones and personal Gmail accounts as their main calendar application."
"Security is still complex, but the admin console improving."
"There are some complexities to the initial setup if you use some of the more advanced features."
