Dropbox Reviews

The ability to share files across the world with business partners, family and friends is the most valuable feature. I learned of Dropbox from a friend after an adventure zip lining. Ever since I had used it for personal collaboration and file sharing and pictures that we wouldn't want to post on Facebook. 

Shared folders count against your total storage space. So I have had to delete multiple libraries in order to receive a share. 

Finding and sharing links to files and libraries are often a pain to find and manage. 

Dealing with permissions are an issue. Sometimes we need to find a person's email address. Some people use three to four different emails. Someone added me to a library via email, but later when needing to send me an email, they couldn't find it. Dropbox would not give them my email address, the one they had to submit in the first place to add me to the list.

Shared folders from other people don't count against your total size.

Personal address book so when we add someone, they're information is saved so we can lat a later time email them or add the person to another share. 

Larger storage allocations as two GB is eaten up quite fast with sharing of pictures, video and files. 

Lower price range. The cost for gain is just not lined up with other business offerings. 

A much easier to navigate web interface. Sharing a file should be as easy as sharing a YouTube video. Finding that link is not always so simple.

I've had no issues with deployment.

I've had no issues with stability.

I've had no issues with scalability, except the limited total storage space.

A year or two back, we were upgrading a Customer Relations Management (CRM) database system. The database is heavily used among 8,000+ employees and was severely lagging in response times. This means longer times on phones with clients and a lower satisfaction rating with both employee and client. 

So we upgraded the main database to a massive IBM K series Power running AIX. But now the SAN was the bottleneck. The 10TB Tier 1 SAN we were using just wasn't fast enough. So the database was split into archive and 4 year data. But the mix of spinning disk and SSD was just not giving us the cutting edge we needed to provide our staff with blazing fast performance and a higher degree of customer satisfaction with shorter phone time. 

So we went back and threw the budget away and went with a 100% SSD solution. The storage team had never done anything like this so we had to work with them on acquisition and building. Then we ran 12 Fibre cables from the back of the IBM system to the SAN switch and to the SAN. We made it so it was exclusive to this system to remove any potential bottlenecks. 

The directly attached SSD has performed amazingly since the switch and has bolstered employee productivity, report generation speeds and a slew of other tasks directly related to the CRM platform.

We use Dropbox primarily for transferring files to others for personal use and basic file-sharing needs.

The product's most valuable feature was its ease of transferring files.

The product improvement could include better integration with other tools and more advanced file versioning features. Enhanced stability and performance would also be beneficial.

The product stability needs improvement. 

The setup was straightforward. It involved a simple installation process with minimal configuration requirements.

I implemented the product myself. 

Dropbox is one of many file-sharing solutions available. While it is reliable for basic use, many other options have better features for enterprise needs.

I rate it a six out of ten. 

I used Dropbox for personal use for data management and storage.

One of the most useful features of Dropbox is its ease of use.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately three years.

Dropbox is a scalable solution.

I have not used the support for Dropbox.

I used Google Cloud previously and I switched to Dropbox because it was easier to use it was simple to share documents.

Dropbox could be less expensive, and I pay monthly.

Dropbox is a good solution for data storage. I am 100 percent satisfied.

I rate Dropbox a ten out of ten.

Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits.

The interface could have bigger buttons.

I've been using Dropbox for the last couple of years.

Dropbox is stable enough to use. It's fine.

Dropbox is a cloud storage solution, so there's not a whole lot to set up.

I rate Dropbox seven out of 10. 

Dropbox is easy to use. I installed it on my laptop and I just copy and paste my files into a folder. I can use the Microsoft Office package, like Microsoft Office, Excel, or PowerPoint. I can edit my files easily and all of my coworkers can check them at the same time. It's a really good option for me.

I think Google Drive shows the log of the file better than Dropbox and its installation and use are easier than Dropbox.

Dropbox is a little bit complex and it could be that someone would have a hard time using it. For example, I am a computer engineer so it's easy for me to install a software and solve a problem, for example, the installation process. But maybe somebody would not be able to do it. I think Dropbox could make the installation and the log of what has changed in a file easier. Showing logs could be more accessible.

I use Dropbox two or three times a week.

I think it is stable. We used Microsoft products like Windows for more than 10 years, in particular Office and Excel, and they are sustainable and we can track them all the time. I think Dropbox is good, too.

In my team, I think more than 10 people are using Dropbox - between 10 and 20.

All of us use it as separate users but we share files. We don't use the professional package.

There is no installation.

I evaluated Google Drive.

I think Dropbox is a good option for Windows users because it's easy to use in Windows and a user can access all other products and software. 

On a scale of one to ten, Dropbox is not a 10, but I'm not sure it's an eight or nine. For my personal usage, I would say a nine is good.

I use Dropbox for document and file sharing.

I am more active now because I am using my personal storage to share project files.

I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good. The synchronization is between your local storage and Dropbox. You can download a work file from the storage, work on it from your personal computer, and then you can save it.

It's easy to work in Microsoft Office on your computer and to have the ability to load a document that updates to the storage. It's a good thing. For example, on the contrary, with Google Docs, you have to work inside of Google Docs to stay synchronized.

The file storage space between a business account and a personal account is not compatible. For example, if a person has a business account and has storage of one terabyte where he stores files into, and I have a personal account with only ten gigabytes available for me to view, then all of the files are stored in my team member's business account. Once I have reached the ten gigabytes of storage, I am not able to synchronize any data even though my teammate, who has one terabyte of storage, is where the files are stored.

The problem with the storage is that you are only able to synchronize the information within the amount of storage that you have. It doesn't matter if you are accessing from a team member who has more storage, the limitations are with your storage.

This is a problem that I am facing. If I withhold my storage and someone shares a file with me, I will not be able to synchronize locally because I personally do not have enough storage.

I have been using Dropbox for five or six years. 

I am using it more thoroughly now because I am using it for a particular project.

This solution is stable. I have not come across any issues.

This solution is scalable. It's always scalable because you can always pay to get more storage.

I have not contacted technical support.

The initial setup was easy. I have a technical background, so for me, it was easy.

I implemented it myself. It was no problem.

The main difference between dropbox and other solutions that I have used is the synchronization in using local software to the account. You can work in the file in your local office and it will synchronize to the cloud.

You are also always working with the latest version of the document.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am using Dropbox to store my files, such as documents and photos.

The most valuable feature of Dropbox is its user-friendliness. You can drag and drop files you want to store easily. Additionally, the speed of the solution is great if you have a fast connection.

Dropbox could improve by increasing its storage.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately 10 years.

Dropbox is stable.

The scalability of Dropbox has been good for my personal use.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox a nine out of ten.

Dropbox can be used for documents, secret documents, and backups.

Dropbox's most valuable features are ease of use and performance.

Dropbox could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately one year.
