Dropbox Reviews

Dropbox is used to store files and I am using it on a personal level.

The most valuable features of Dropbox are it can be used as a repository of all the photographs and videos that you have on the cloud. You do not need to worry about the hard disk crashing.

Dropbox can improve by enhancing the capacity of storage in the free version.

I have been using Dropbox for a few years.

Dropbox is a stable solution.

The scalability of Dropbox is good, but you would need to increase your subscription if you want more capacity.

I have not used the support from Dropbox.

I have not used another similar solution to Dropbox.

We are using the free version of Dropbox which has approximately two gigabytes of data capacity.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

I use DropBox to store pictures and files. It's a cloud solution like OneDrive, but Dropbox is for personal use, and I use OneDrive professionally.

I've used Dropbox for a couple of years or more but not extensively. I use OneDrive more often. 

DropBox is stable.

DropBox is a little more complicated to scale up than OneDrive. It isn't as seamless to scale up storage or change the number of users. We have two or three users in Mumbai, and we don't plan to add more.

We haven't had any issues that required us to contact support. 

I was using USB-based external storage before DropBox.

Setting up DropBox is straightforward, and one person can do it in less than five minutes.

I rate DropBox eight out of 10.

We use Dropbox for our files when we finish our projects. For example, once we've done a forming project, we then upload the material. We do a first assembly cut on the material, and then we upload the content to Dropbox.

The final videos and productions that we use, all go into a Vimeo account that we have.

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 have been using Dropbox for approximately three years.

Dropbox is a stable solution.

The only challenge we have is the bandwidth that we have because the stability comes down to the broadband that we're using. We don't have fiber-deployed across the UK. The copper bandwidth speed limitations are what we have.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

We have the producer, director, editor, and our customer base using the solution. We share the files and they only take a look at the files.  They're not doing any editing or modifications.

We had some issues closing accounts with the administration support.

We use Vimeo and Dropbox both in parallel, and we have standalone disc arrays that we use for storage and backup.

The implementation is straightforward and we access Dropbox by using a login, whoever needs to access it can use the login.

We were using Dropbox previously. It was simple to set up the directories and the file-sharing capabilities we needed to use and the different levels of access to some of our stakeholders, customers, and editors.

We did the implementation ourselves.

The solution is meeting our business requirements, but I haven't done a total cost of ownership. What I'd have to do to answer if I have had an ROI properly is to deploy our own storage system and then set up the backup for it locally, in a private cloud environment locally in a data center, and find out what it would cost us to operate. We would probably need an admin in place as well to manage all of it and determine the cost of power, hardware, software, versus what we are paying on a subscription basis for that whole service Dropbox account. I have not done this to determine the cost return.

One area that has been a big issue for me is when I tried to close my accounts, it is difficult. We had small personal accounts, and we then wanted to consolidate everything to the business account, but then to cancel and close those smaller accounts, it's a big issue. I still haven't done it and it's quite a long process.

They can't cancel the license and transfer the data over to the new business account easily. There seem to be some complexities involved.

We pay annually to use the solution and the price is approximately £600.

We are using the five terabyte option of the solution.

My advice to others would be to keep the deployment simple, and the solution is simple to scale. Put a solution in place that meets your requirements. If it's a new business, put in place what the business is requiring, and if you do need to scale out and increase costs, then it's straightforward to do, it's quite an easy platform to use. They have a few good options available and don't oversubscribe to capacity that you're not going to use.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Dropbox can be useful for one's organization and personal usage.

We employ it for personal use. 

The solution could be better integrated with other platforms. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I have not had occasion to contact technical support. 

As the solution is cloud-based, installation is easy. 

I cannot speak with certainty about the price. The solution does not come with a licensing cost. 

We used Google prior to making use of the solution. We felt Dropbox to be an appropriate alternative. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Dropbox as an eight out of ten. 

Dropbox is used for storing data in the cloud. We use it for storing company documents for them to be accessed by other groups. For example, something gets published on Dropbox and we have the link for access.

Many people can use the Dropbox service and edit the data, it is simple to use.

The free storage amount should be increased.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately four years.

Dropbox is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 500 using this solution in my organization.

Before we use Dropbox we use our internal storage.

The solution is paid for annually.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

We use the solution to back up documents and folders related to my work. I also use it to back up my personal data.

The tool’s ability to share documents and create backups is valuable. The solution is compatible with different platforms like Windows, macOS, and Linux. The security features are important. I rate the security a ten out of ten. The solution is easy to use. It is stable and simple.

The product must be more user-friendly.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

The product is very stable. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

I am the only user. I rate the product’s scalability a ten out of ten.

The setup was simple. The product is cloud-based.

I deployed the tool myself.

Dropbox is a low-cost product. Dropbox is one of the cheapest tools in the market. I rate the pricing one out of ten.

I solve the problems I face with the tool myself. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits.

The interface could have bigger buttons.

I've been using Dropbox for the last couple of years.

Dropbox is stable enough to use. It's fine.

Dropbox is a cloud storage solution, so there's not a whole lot to set up.

I rate Dropbox seven out of 10. 

This solution is for my personal use and the primary use case is for storing files.

I like the ability to share with others who have Dropbox accounts and the fact that it's accessible from anywhere. Overall, it's a very good software.

The drawback to this product is the cost. When you use other solutions such as Google Drive or Microsoft, their office suite is accessible and integrated with other things. Dropbox is just a files product. If Dropbox wants to compete, they should be offering it at a reasonable price given that the product is only a file storage solution.

I've been using this solution for a couple of years. 

I used Google Drive for a long time. I switched to Dropbox at a time when Google still used labels to organize structure and it was quite annoying to create a folder structure in Google Drive. I switched to Dropbox because it was easier to use.

I've stopped paying Dropbox because I'm spending more time on Microsoft these days. 

This is a great solution, it's just too expensive. Microsoft has better deals with the Windows 365 suite and with a Visual Studio subscription you get additional space. You can bundle together several products from Microsoft. OneDrive is normally free and offers more or less the same features as Dropbox just not as nice. If it's just a matter of sharing something, I would recommend Dropbox. If there's a need for computer backup or photograph backup, then I would strongly recommend something else because the cost is prohibitive on Dropbox.

I rate the solution a nine out of 10.
