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.
Google Drive is a safe and easy online repository with a nice web interface for file management. It has some extra benefits over a network folder because it has automatic version control and collaboration features.
If we have a bunch of users with Microsoft Word documents or Excel files, it's not always easy to collaborate on a single file together. If we put it in Google Drive, we can all access it simultaneously and make edits and changes. We can put tags on the files and do a little bit of automation with the basic enterprise version, which is nice. They help to find things that are related to projects.
The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful. Automatic version control is also valuable. I have never seen a security problem on Google Docs. It is easy to access. Security is built into the tool. We don't have to worry about it so much. I haven't integrated Google Drive, but it's easy to access from other applications like Jira and Confluence. The product is really easy to understand and use.
The web interface is a pain to access compared to the Windows application. However, the Windows application doesn't have any of the advanced features of the web interface, like tagging and SafeSearch. The Windows application should have the same features as the web application. The integration of Google Drive with other things could probably be better. The product’s document management and automation features are very limited. If you're a big organization, it will become a big mess very quickly.
I have been using the solution for a couple of years.
The tool’s stability is almost perfect. I've only had a problem once.
The tool’s scalability seems unlimited. I've never had a problem with it. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have 6000 users. In my previous organization, we had 50,000 users. The solution is used every day.
I have deployed it at a university before. It took less than a week to deploy after we got the basic training.
The ROI is extremely good because we don't have to worry about backups, and the security is very high.
I've never had any issues to complain about, and I don't do the administration. I don't have any experience with support. It's a great replacement for your network drive. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
