Dropbox Reviews

We use Dropbox primarily for file storage and management. 

The search functionality and the ability to preview images are quite good. It's similar to managing files on my computer.

Dropbox needs to improve its integration with Google platforms, including Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides, which facilitate easier collaboration. I would also like to see features related to folder structure recommendations and enhanced encryption.

I have used the solution for around two years.

We are considering switching from Dropbox to Google Suite because Google Suite offers better collaboration features.

We are using the free version of Dropbox.

I am considering switching to Google Suite.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I am using it for my personal use. It is not used in our organization because of security reasons. I have its latest version, and I always update the software.

I use it for storing data and sharing the data between different devices. For example, I store something on the mobile, and then I open it on my MacBook. I am also using Dropbox to share data with different people.

Its usability is valuable. It is easy to use.

They can maybe provide a bit more free space. By default, they give you 2 Gigabytes. The storage space could be a bit more.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is quite stable. I haven't had any issues.

It is scalable. Scalability also depends on your subscription plan. 

I don't have any plans to increase its usage at the moment because I have some extra storage.

I have not interacted with their technical support.

You can install it on your mobile device and computers. They have a Windows application and a Mac application. They probably have an application for Linux as well, but I'm not sure. You just download the application, and that's it. It takes a minute or two.

I can install it myself.

It has some free features, but for some of the features, you need to pay. If you need more storage, then you need to pay. Its licensing probably is on a monthly basis.

I didn't evaluate other products.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Dropbox a ten out of ten.

Dropbox provides a space where you can get all the required files, and you can also upload anything you require, like any kind of files or storage configurations, which you can then access directly from it.

If there is a network, you can access Dropbox from any geographic location. Sometimes, if you don't have a storage device with you, you can access your content from Dropbox, which is a major advantage of the tool.

In terms of the limitations, I see that if you use a mobile device that does not allow you to properly configure the email part with Dropbox, then you cannot access it. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

I want to be able to upload certain configurations or setup files, like .exe files, on Dropbox. Sometimes, .exe files take time to get uploaded, or it doesn't get uploaded at all.

I have used Dropbox at a personal level for two to three years.

I use the product to generally store my documents. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.

In every technology, there are new developments. No new technologies introduced in the market can be 100 percent perfect.

My colleagues, consisting of 11 or 12 people, use Dropbox in our organization.

I use Dropbox at a personal level. My company prefers to use Google Drive.

I don't deploy the product since I am just an end user.

The time to deploy the product is something that depends on a user's network. If a user has a 5G network, the deployment won't take much time. The deployment takes time if you operate in a slow network environment.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The product is worth the money. 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.

With Dropbox, the integration part is simple to handle since it doesn't put forth many requirements. You just need to sync your data and emails with Dropbox, after which you can access your data from anywhere. There are some device specifications that you need to meet to be able to use the product, which may pose some limitations.

I recommend the product to others who plan to use it since it is a prominent tool in the market that always provides prompt support whenever you want to access it.

I am not used to the integration capabilities of the product since it is not something that is used in our company. My company mostly uses Google Drive and SharePoint in the professional environment.

In terms of data protection, the product provides security features. In some devices, if your mailbox is not synced, then you won't get any access to such emails in Dropbox. In Dropbox, you can set the permissions of who can access and who can view or download certain files. If you give someone your Dropbox access, you can give them permission to use it.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

I primarily use it to store and share files with individuals across different continents. It serves as a convenient platform for saving and exchanging various documents and materials with others.

It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features.

While generally user-friendly, there is room for improvement in the user interface, especially with the introduction of new integrations and features.

I have been using it for approximately six years.

I find it to be very stable. I have not encountered any issues, nor have I heard of any problems from others. I would rate it a solid ten out of ten.

While I don't have personal experience in this aspect, based on what I've read, I would say it is quite scalable. Initially, we had around fifty users, but the number has since decreased, currently ranging from thirty to forty. Despite the reduction in users, the platform is still extensively used.

I have never reached out to their technical support because our local tech support has proven to be competent enough to address any issues.

We used SharePoint in the past, which was a Microsoft platform, but that was quite a while ago.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment is handled by my team. They take care of the configuration, and it typically only takes five to ten minutes for end-user setup.

There's undoubtedly a significant return on investment because we transitioned from the Microsoft SharePoint Live OneDrive solution. Previously, we had a formal user complaint base, but now, thanks to the user-friendly interface and improved performance, we've managed to considerably reduce user complaints. The platform has proven to be effective for our team.

We have a corporate license for this platform, which involves an annual subscription. The pricing varies depending on the version, and the one we currently utilize is the business version. I'm aware that there is a larger version available, but the one we have meets our storage requirements adequately. I would rate it eight out of ten.

My recommendation, especially for individuals engaged in extensive work involving large video files, presentations, or design documents that need to be shared with third parties across continents or locations, is that this platform is an ideal solution. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

I use Dropbox primarily for exchanging data with customers.

What I like about Dropbox is how easy it is to share and collaborate on files with customers. It is straightforward and works seamlessly.

There is room for improvement in Dropbox's security measures. Some customers opt for a private solution they have developed because they prioritize a higher level of security.

I have been using Dropbox for a few months.

We have not had any major stability issues with Dropbox.

Scalability isn't a top priority for our needs at the moment, so we haven't specifically requested high scalability for our storage. Typically, custom solutions aren't inherently very scalable. This is why integrating with a cloud solution like Dropbox makes sense for us - it offers the scalability we might need in the future without worrying about it. At our company, we have teams of five to ten people in larger groups with around 100-150 users. It helps us cater to different-sized teams and projects.

The initial setup is very simple. Setting up our solution doesn't require a big team; usually, a couple of people are enough for deployment. One person handles the project deployment, and we use internal resources for ongoing maintenance.

Dropbox is fairly priced with a yearly license.

I wouldn't recommend Dropbox based on my experience. For customers and managers dealing with scientific data, a custom solution might be preferable, and that is why we lean towards it. Even if someone is considering a shift to the cloud, we prefer a more tailored approach rather than using Dropbox. Overall, I would rate Dropbox as an eight out of ten.

I use it for personal file sharing.

I find the flexibility of accessing my data from anywhere to be a significant advantage. The various methods for accessing files, such as through mobile apps, online synchronization, and on a PC, are highly valuable.

One aspect that I believe could be enhanced is the family sharing feature. Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering. It would be valuable if it offered an archival service that allows users to transfer active mailbox data into long-term storage. Such a feature would be beneficial for archiving and preserving data over extended periods.

I have been using it for eight years now.

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

While I am impressed with the scalability aspect, I would like to emphasize the need for more scalability, especially for personal use. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I have exclusively used Google Drive, including Google Apps for Business, and Dropbox.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup involves configuring the settings, but beyond that, there's minimal maintenance required. Once you've set it up, there's not much in terms of ongoing configuration and upkeep. The vendor handles most of the maintenance tasks, so there's very little for us to do. The deployment time depends on internet latency, but it doesn't take more than half an hour to an hour.

I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market. The pricing is affordable for a range of businesses, from small to large. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would highly recommend it. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

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.
