"Irrespective of the geographical location that you are present in, and even if you don't have any storage devices, you can access your data and files with the help of Dropbox."
"The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices."
"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 most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"They can provide more storage. Data is something that everybody is after. Any organization that has the requirement of data for any type of analysis will definitely need increased storage."
"The interface could have bigger buttons."
"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."
"The tool must be better protected."
"The pricing could be better and so could the amount of storage space. I feel like for the price, they don't offer very much storage space, especially when compared to competitors like Google."
"I would like to be able to unarchive my files online."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to start Dropbox services and files are not synced."
"The solution could be a bit less expensive."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
