Dropbox Reviews

I use Dropbox for backups.

Dropbox offers helpful functionalities for business purposes, such as receiving file requests from external parties like customers who don't have an account. Additionally, it includes features, such as reminders and workflow capabilities.

The price is expensive for individual users.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately 10 years.

I rate the stability of Dropbox a ten out of ten.

I am an individual user of the solution.

The initial setup of Dropbox is simple and it took approximately 10 minutes.

To access the online service, it was required to create an account, and subsequently, to use the desktop application, which necessitated downloading and installing it.

The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity.

There is a monthly and annual model pay and use solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

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.

I don't need to carry my laptop while traveling. I just synchronize whatever I've been doing to Dropbox. After the document is synchronized, I can leave my laptop and use Dropbox wherever I am. 

I can also easily share a document with my colleagues, no matter how big it is. I can allow them to edit, and the editing will be instant. I can see whatever changes they've made to the document.

It doesn't delete a document automatically. If I make a mistake and delete a file, it doesn't automatically delete the file. It gives you the warning to say you're deleting a file. In terms of security, I haven't had any challenges with Dropbox where they tell you that your data is compromised.

The arrangement of documents can be simplified. Personally, I am used to it, but for a new user, it might be a little confusing. It can maybe have a feature to allow people to collaborate or work on the same document at the same time.

I'm just using it to load and access information, and I haven't faced many challenges. However, I have seen that the whole system or laptop slows down a bit when I am synchronizing files to Dropbox. I don't know if it is because of my system. It might be good if they can enhance the synchronization process so that we can specify that synchronization should be done after 30 minutes. In addition, synchronization should only be done for the documents that have been uploaded.

For corporate data, we started using Dropbox in January, but personally, I have been using Dropbox for a long time.

It has been very stable from the time I started using it.

It is very scalable. It is just a question of choosing a plan depending on the amount of data. If you want to increase your storage from 15 GB to more than 15 GB, you can easily do that. You just make the payment. 

In terms of the number of users, we have 200 staff members and around 3,000 students. Some people in our organization prefer using Google Drive, and some of them prefer using Dropbox. Therefore, I can't provide the number of users. If we had an enterprise Dropbox where the IT department managed the storage space for different users, I would know how many people are using it and how often. For deployment, we have about five people in total.

We plan to keep using this solution. If I can get somebody to assist me with the enterprise solution, I will definitely go for it.

I'm just using it to load the information and then access information, and I haven't faced many challenges.

We are also using Google Drive for Education. Google Drive Enterprise is for private companies, and Google Drive for Education is for universities. It is less costly than Google Drive Enterprise.

It is a cloud-based solution. I created an account and allocated the space. After that, I synchronized my data. I didn't have any challenges. It was just a matter of a few clicks. It took less than five minutes after downloading the whole file.

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.

I didn't evaluate other solutions. It was coming as one of the best options when I was searching on the web. I looked at the product ratings and found it to be a better option.

I would definitely recommend this solution for other business users. I would rate Dropbox a nine 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.

I use the solution to store and share my files. It is used for my personal use.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is user-friendly.

The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.

I don't know if the product has an AI assistant-type functionality. In the future, I would want the product to have AI.

I have been using Dropbox for five years.

The tool's stability is good. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

There is only one person who uses the product.

I have not contacted the solution's technical support team.

I have experience with Google Drive.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of minutes.

The solution can be deployed by myself.

There were no measurable benefits from the use of the product.

I was using the free version of the product.

I have not tried the integration features associated with the product.

I haven't had a problem with the security features of Dropbox to meet our company's data protection needs.

I recommend the product to others who plan to use it.

I would tell others that Dropbox is a good tool to use since it is stable and reliable.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Compared to others, it's much, much better. I can track my work on this. It also supports multiple users. I prefer the useability over other brands and solutions. 

There's no installation required.

It's a very stable solution. 

We haven't had any issues at all with the solution. 

While it can scale, there's too much difference between plans. We'd prefer it if it had a few other plan options that weren't so big in terms of differences. We'd like more flexible subscription plans. 

I cannot edit a document at the same time as another user.

I've been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good. 

There is scalability. However, the subscription plans jump too much from one plan to another. There's a very big difference between the two plans.

Five people are using the solution right now in my company.

We do not have plans to increase usage. 

I've never had any issues and therefore have never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

We did previously use One Drive and Google Drive and other similar solutions. We prefer this solution as it allows for multiple users whereas the others do not. 

As it is cloud-based, you do not need to install anything. 

We did witness an ROI after three months. 

I'm not sure about the cost of the solution. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

I usually work with Dropbox to upload my documents. I use it for personal and business needs. 

Sometimes I work on a site with a lot of restrictions and security policies and I cannot connect to the environment to deliver a package. I usually use Dropbox to upload the package I need and they use my Dropbox to download the package. I usually work with Dropbox to move my data to another site.

The performance has been good. 

I'd like to see security improved a bit. 

I would like to get it to the point where we could offer permission on one file to make one person see that one file only. It might help improve the security of the entire Dropbox.

I started using the solution about six years ago. It's been a while. 

I'm very happy with the performance. It's stable and reliable. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability is very good. It's not a problem to expand. You can buy more capacity as needed. 

I'm not sure how many people are using the solution in my organization. 

I have not dealt with support before. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

I've also used Google Drive.

We're satisfied with the pricing. It's fine. If you need to increase storage, you can just buy more capacity. That said, I don't directly deal with licensing. 

As this solution is on the cloud, we're always using the latest version of the product.

I'd recommend the solution to others. I would rate it eight out of ten. 

We use Dropbox to store our documents.

The performance is good.

It is easy to use, very user-friendly.

They provide a generous amount of space.

Google Docs and Dropbox provide the same level of satisfaction as Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

The security is very good.

It is adequate for my needs, as well as those of the average person.

When you consider a private cloud for improved security, there will be fees, and the process will become more complicated.

If someone manages a large amount of data, they will need more storage, which they must purchase.

I have been using Dropbox for two years.

Dropbox is reliable.

It belongs to me, and I use it. If I want to share a document with someone, I give them access and then remove the rights after a set period of time.

I have also used Google Docs.

If you implement Google Docs, the Google directory is very intuitive.

I received assistance from Google. They are always available and quick to respond.

I would rate them a ten out of ten.

There is no installation because this is a cloud-based solution.

You can easily implement it yourself.

The amount of free space they provide is sufficient for me. However, if you want more space I don't believe is very expensive.

I don't pay any licensing fees.

I would recommend this solution to those who are not worried about their document being on a public cloud. It can be used by anyone; it is quite secure.

My scale is very small. I don't have many security requirements. I am at ease with the documents that I have saved.

This solution does its job well.

I would rate Dropbox a ten out of ten.
