"The most valuable features I have found to be accessibility and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its convenience, I can retrieve files online from various places. It has backup options in case something was to go wrong with my computer I can restore my files."
"Simple to share files with others."
"The product's most valuable feature is storage."
"It is definitely stable. The main advantage of Dropbox is that you can see the files, and you can easily share them with all the team members. They can be accessed by whoever you give access to, and it is all secure. Dropbox is a seamless product. It provides you the privacy that you're looking for. Privacy is a major factor for my company, and Dropbox provides you that."
"A valuable feature is that it stores my files and photos. I'm satisfied with this product."
"I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."

"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"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."
"Dropbox, like many file sharing tools, needs to synch to a local hard drive. That is a bit difficult with 5TB Dropbox content."
"The free storage amount should be increased."
"While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with Office products, it would be very helpful."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
