Edgar  Paez - PeerSpot reviewer
Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Pros

"Dropbox is an easy-to-use solution that has good stability."
"The performance has been good."
"The solution provides great performance."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download."
"One of the advantages of Dropbox is that you can share files with people who are external to your organization without any additional costs. It is also easy to use, stable, and trustworthy."
"The performance is good."
"The product's most valuable feature is storage."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous peer environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
 

Cons

"Dropbox could be improved by reducing the storage price."
"I would like to have a document flow. S"
"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."
"I would like to be able to unarchive my files online."
"There is room for improvement in Dropbox's security measures."
"The solution could be better integrated with other platforms."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"The interface could have bigger buttons."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is free up to a certain limit."
"The solution is paid for annually."
"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
"Dropbox offers a freemium model which is very convenient and affordable. Beyond that, the pricing is favorable."
"I don't pay any licensing costs."
"There is a subscription-based pricing model and I pay monthly."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"You pay as you go, which is a good thing. There is a monthly fee, and you can also pay annually. This flexibility makes the subscription easier and affordable for some of us. I prefer yearly pricing, which is also slightly cheaper than monthly pricing."
"The pricing is very good."
