Dropbox

Pros: Dropbox is great. I love being able to access files from any computer, anywhere, as well as my phone.

Cons: Wish it allowed more desktop users for the price instead of limiting to just a few. I work from about 5 different computers on a daily basis, which means I have to use the web browser on one or two of them. Not terrible, but adds an extra step logging in.

Overall: Dropbox is great. Cheap, easy, predictable. Love being able to share folders with other people, too, which we do often for business purposes. Love the phone app.

Pros: Dropbox has been used in our company for about two years, and cloud storage has been widely used in our company from various sectors. First, I must say that I love the way that Dropbox has to store files without having to enter its web version, this cloud storage service allows me to store files by simply entering them into a folder that is automatically created on my computer, When I download the Dropbox application for my computer, it automatically creates a folder on my desktop where all the files that I put in that folder can be automatically stored in my cloud. Another of the things that I loved about this platform is that it is able to help me find files much faster, it has a fairly effective search filter which is capable of showing me the most recent, oldest, largest files, or in alphabetical order. The search center system works great, it has allowed me to find files much faster, since in our Dropbox cloud we have a large number of Files, and without this filter it would be a total disaster to find a specific one. Finally I must mention that I loved the free trial of Dropbox, when I started using this software I agreed to the free trial because I needed to test each of the functions it had, however, after testing this software for a while we decided to acquire a payment plan. The free trial was quite beneficial for us, it helped us learn how to fully use the platform.

Cons: One of the main setbacks that occurs during the experience with Dropbox is that this platform is not also used in its version for mobile devices. The problem I had was with the app on my iOS device, when I installed the app and tried to upload some file, the file would not upload properly if it didn't stay inside the app, When I put this app in secondary operation to access another app, the file you are previously uploading did not finish uploading successfully, the file upload process would freeze and not progress until you canceled and re-uploaded it manually. This error happened to me repeatedly, there was no way to access another application while uploading a file from this mobile application, I hope that I will not be in this problem as soon as possible to allow me to upload files from my mobile without any problem. Currently, to counteract the problem that I have presented from my mobile device, I have chosen to only upload files from my computer, and use the mobile app to only view files stored in my cloud. Another of the two negatives that I have to mention about Dropbox is that it is not able to allow me to modify any document simultaneously, I cannot modify a document together, it would be great to be able to modify documents with the help of my colleagues, where we can both make some changes and all these changes are seen in real time, this does not happen in thrombus because it is quite limited in that functionality, it only allows an edition of the document at the same moment.

Overall: Despite the various bugs and inconveniences that I have experienced during my experience with Dropbox, I must mention that I have been able to store my files safely in the cloud and I feel that I have had a pretty good experience that could be improved with the help of the optimization of the factors that I mentioned earlier. My experience with this platform was quite complete because it allowed me to store files in the cloud without the need to carry out any complex process, it also helped me share all these files directly with the help of a shared link, by sending this link to any person, they will be able to access that file without any kind of limit. This platform also helped me share files with my work sector, within the Dropbox platform we can create a shared folder, where all the files stored in that folder can be viewed by whatever is within our work group, this has no place It's certainly a pretty cool feature for us as it helps us share files with our employees without sending external links. I am happy with the overall functionality of Dropbox, it just needs to improve the mobile app for this software to be quite functional in all aspects.

Pros: Previously, we used other cloud storage services that were a bit less efficient than Dropbox and offered a bit more limited things, so we were motivated to try Dropbox in our company, we were looking for a better storage system capable of offering us better services generals. What I liked the most about the time I've been using Dropbox was the following:

1. Dropbox offered me a free trial that helped me test the software. When I was considering replacing our old storage software with Dropbox, I was able to access the free trial they offered me and it was quite convenient to be able to test the uploading, downloading and encryption system that it has. The free trial helped me make sure I bought Dropbox.

2. I loved the way I can upload my files from my computer without any complex process, just locate the Dropbox folder and insert all the files that I want to be stored in the cloud there. In the background, the files that I have inserted in that folder will be uploaded. Having it upload in the background is great, it allows me to do other things while the save is successful.

3. The Mobile App works great, plus I can immediately access all the files I've uploaded from my mobile phone to the Dropbox cloud from my computer. The cloud works seamlessly by connecting various devices.

Cons: To be honest, my experience with Dropbox yielded quite a few positive factors that have helped me to continue to use the platform wisely, but during my experience there was only one negative factor that I think needs to be optimized and fixed in Dropbox. This negative factor was:

1. In Dropbox it is not possible to edit documents or modify any file online together. It is not a system that works well together, users cannot edit a file together, only one person should edit a file or document, otherwise multiple copies of the file will be created automatically depending on how many people are editing this file. It would be great to be able to edit files online, so there is no need to use third-party apps for editing altogether.

Overall: Our overall experience has been fairly proportional since we started using this platform in our work area. Firstly, Dropbox was started to be used in our corporate sector to share documents and files instantly, as time passed we realized that Dropbox could provide us with better results on a general level, so we decided to expand all this software in all sectors of the company. Currently, Dropbox works in all our sectors and has been used to transfer documents, files of all kinds, images and much more in a totally secure way, the transfer is done without the need to share any type of file credential, in addition, it is done in online and there is no need to leave the workplace to share any specific file, it is fantastic and we are glad to be using this cloud storage service!

Pros: There are many choices for file sharing services but none of them can compare with Dropbox. It is the most reliable and trustworthy system and stands out from the rest for its features and price.

I have been using Dropbox for years and years and I completely trust the company with over a terabyte of data. The security policies are transparent and well-documented.

My favorite feature is how easy it is to share files and I love how this service is not tethered to any other account (ie Google Drive or iCloud) and simply works on its own, as it should, every time. Smartsync is an exceptional feature as well.

Cons: Sometimes it can take a while to upload files to Dropbox - especially larger ones. I have also had issues resyncing the Dropbox folder with the server if the connection is lost - while this is rare, it can be annoying to have to resync a giant Dropbox folder.

Overall: Dropbox works so well and does exactly what it says. Using AWS on the backend makes for great, reliable, secure storage. I love the peace of mind Dropbox provides for all of my files and the simplicity of file sharing makes it my go to service. You won't be disappointed using Dropbox and it's worth every penny!

Pros: Dropbox is a very efficient and stable cloud storage mechanism for storing, transferring and receiving all types of files. For us, it has been an honor to be using this great software in our sector, the things that we liked were:

- Dropbox allows you to edit all kinds of documents online. All you have to do is store documents in the cloud and you can immediately edit the document without having to install any Office tool such as Excel or Word. This edition of documents is quite complete, it has all the functions of Office.

- Uploading and downloading of files is done in incredible speed, Dropbox servers are quite good and this means that my files can be downloaded in just a few seconds.

- Dropbox offers me a section where I can upload files to the cloud but share them directly with my colleagues. This is a shared folder and this allows the uploaded files to be viewed by my colleagues in the Sales sector. This saves us a lot of time, since it is not necessary to send the files directly, but Dropbox does it automatically.

Cons: The main features that I did not like about Dropbox were:

- The free trial. When we were discussing whether or not to start using Dropbox, we agreed to the free trial so we could test the features they offered us and how effective it could be to store our files in the cloud. However, this free trial was not effective, the space offered is quite limited, you cannot use a shared folder with colleagues, and you cannot edit several documents at the same time. These are limitations that can be improved in the free trial and that would make the user happier when deciding whether or not to use Dropbox.

- Documents cannot be edited in real time. This is something very impressive, since it would be cool that several people can modify a document that is in a shared folder, and everyone can see the changes progressively and in real time, but currently this cannot be done in Dropbox, since only allows a person to modify a document.

Overall: Within my Sales sector, Dropbox has performed very well and has proven to be very useful in protecting our files and saving space on our computers. Previously, the hard drive of my computer was quite full since all the information related to sales or advertising was stored there, however, all that information was stored in Dropbox and is currently protected under an encryption key to prevent access by intruders. In addition, I am very satisfied with the results achieved, Dropbox has never presented failures in its cloud and at all times I have been able to access my files without any type of limit. It's great to be able to send and receive files or documents in a couple of seconds, the Dropbox cloud is very fast and there are never any delays in displaying a recently uploaded file. We will continue to use Dropbox in our work area, it has been very useful to us.

Pros: We use Dropbox to share files with our auditor. The ability to share files easily and with automatic syncing.

Cons: Dropbox doesn’t play well with VPNs, at least in my experience.

Overall: Overall Dropbox has fit our particular use case. I do think we could probably increase our use of the software in a way that would be beneficial to our nonprofit.

Pros: - It gives the ease of not storing files and documents in local storage.
- Files can be easily uploaded and further shared with anyone through links.
- Access can be assigned to access files from the cloud.
- It is reliable and secure to use.
- Uploaded files and categorized by creating various folders.

Cons: - There are serious performance issues sometimes when uploading a sequence of large files.

Overall: Overall, Dropbox is a reliable cloud storage platform with user-friendly user interface and lots of features and functionalities.

Pros: The platform allows you to share files and access them via the cloud. The interface is easy to use. Easy to set up an account.

Cons: I am not confident in the security of Dropbox. It is too easily accessible for me to put any sensitive files.

Overall: It is an okay platform for cloud based file management. It is easy to use and set up. We used it for media that we shared between staff and it worked well for that.

Pros: - Dropbox is efficient to use and easy to access all the uploaded files.

Cons: - All the features and functionalities can be a bit complex to understand initially.

Overall: Overall, Dropbox is the best cloud storage platform with excellent features and tools. The subscription prices justify itself because of the ease and productivity it provides.

Pros: 1. Dropbox helps in transferring larger files easily.
2. It automatically syncs all the files across the all the devices.
3. It gives the ability to give access to people of the uploaded files.
4. The uploading process is fast, and the stored files stay secure.
5. It is available on all the platforms.

Cons: 1. Multiple accounts switching feature is not available.

Overall: Overall, Dropbox helps in storing files, audio, videos and documents safely and securely. The platform is reliable and overall robust.

Pros: - Dropbox is the easiest and most simple application to upload files to and later share it with colleagues, friends or family.

- It works completely fine on all the devices.
- It syncs all the files seamlessly across all the devices it is logged in.

Cons: - Once the files gets deleted there is no way to retrieve the files, there should be a bin for deleted files for limited, so the files can be recovered if they get accidentally deleted.

Overall: Dropbox is a cloud storage platform which is convenient to use and has all the necessary features. Any type of files can be uploaded and stored on Dropbox easily. Also, the files stored on Dropbox are safe, secure from any type of data theft.

Pros: - Seamless experience when syncing local files;
- Nice UI when using website version;
- Easy file-sharing with multiple users.

Cons: - Small amount of initial space. I know it can be increased by inviting other people, but initially it's smaller compared to some other popular services.

Overall: I'm a long-term user of a file-sharing software (used 2 products from Big-tech companies for a decade). It was okay in the cloud, but the local files management wasn't always a pleasant experience. Dropbox is way more convenient if I just want to save a file locally and be sure it will be synced. Very nice tool! Didn't check the mobile version though.

Pros: - Dropbox is a swift and robust cloud storage platform with fast upload and download speed.
- The user interface is simple and modern looking.
- Files syncs across the devices and files and accessed across all the devices too.
- The data gets encrypted and stored securely on the cloud.

Cons: - The subscription is not very affordable for normal individuals.
- Larger files take a lot of time to synchronize properly.

Overall: Overall, Dropbox is a secure and reliable securing platform compared to storing data locally in disks. It is also customizable and user-friendly. Aside from the subscription plan being a little too high, everything else is fairly good.

Pros: Sharing files from one device to another has never been easier. I can send someone a link to a file in my Dropbox folder or i can save something on my phone and view it on my PC. Super easy to use.

Cons: Sometimes the files don't always update, even though i have autosave turned on.

Overall: Very easy to use software for sharing files between people or from one device to another. I have been using it for 4-5 years.

Pros: Generally a good platform, have upgraded to business accounts, we have a lot of digital assets that we utilize. Folder structure is easy to use as well as sharing etc.

Cons: As compared to Box and some other platforms they have less storage for the dollar. Also a very random issue that is annoying and they haven't fixed...if you request a file from someone (partner / employee etc) their platform appends the name of that person on to the file being uploaded. We create a lot of design files so renaming files takes up a lot of unnecessary time. We've thought about moving to Box or other platforms because of this issue, seems like a simple thing to fix. Also they need to let you close shared files or file requests in batches instead of manually, it can be come tedious for our team.

Overall: Good platform for files, an easy one to set up and get using but some random user experience issues can be improved, especially the file request feature.

Pros: I love that I can share big projects with ease with anyone outside of my organization. Drop and share is easy.

Cons: It can be a bit high in price and doesn't provide for smaller packages.

Overall: It is easy to use but it can be very expensive especially if it is not being used on a routine basis.

Pros: Until two weeks ago it was working fine. No complaints. It's hard for me to come up with anything positive to say.

Cons: Technical support is atrocious. I have wasting hours and hours of time trying for them to resolve my account problem.
As to the software component; I find the process of recovering files difficult.

Overall: I have been given insanely bad support. I paid (have receipt of payment) for a Pro account back in April. All was good until a few weeks ago. About 3 weeks ago I started receiving the following message: "Your Dropbox is full! Upgrade to get more space." I have 2 terra bytes of space I paid for. Support refuses to acknowledge my problem. Over the past 3 weeks, I have wasted hours and hours of my time trying to get this resolved. The numerous responses to my request invariably end up with support saying I need to upgrade. Round and round I go. I have tried email, twitter, chat, this community space and have even sent a snail mail to get this resolved. Absolutely no way to speak to a human. Terrible, horrible, time wasting "support". If I could only quit Dropbox and ask for a refund but I am sharing important files with colleagues and need to be able to exchange files with them. This is a disaster!

Pros: Dropbox is a quick, easy way to transfer files and backup data from anywhere on the globe, making file sharing and collaborative projects simple tasks.

Cons: Limited size on free plans, setup can be a tad bit fiddly until you're familiar with operations

Overall: This is splitting hairs on cons because the software is so ubiquitous, well-designed, and simple. It just works.

Pros: - Dropbox provides a reliable and secured cloud storage.
- The user interface of the tool is intuitive and straightforward.
- It can be easily integrated with other software products.
- The uploaded files can be easily shared without any compromises to the security.

Cons: - There are a few glitches here and there.
- Some features are missing, like different partitions for personal and professional documents.

Overall: Overall, Dropbox is a value for money cloud-based storage tool that has many unique features and comes with an intuitive user interface.

Pros: Dropbox is well known as a secure solution for files. I'd highly recommend the service for organizations that store confidential information (social security numbers, performance plans, etc).

Cons: Dropbox is a bit clunkier to use and collaborate in than Google Suite. It's great for storing static info, but not as good for working with others on documents.

Overall: Overall, I appreciated that Dropbox gave me peace of mind that our confidential information was safely stored.
