A great collaboration service for small organizations
The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

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.

"The solution is very fast and simple. If I want to share a file I can put it on the cloud or on-premise. It's user-friendly."
"Dropbox is a very easy-to-use site that allows me to save files to the cloud for retrieval from almost any device (laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc...)."
"Dropbox offers 24-hour support, both through chat and limited hour calls."
"It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features."
"I use the product to open files."
"Dropbox's most valuable features are ease of use and performance."
"The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its convenience, I can retrieve files online from various places. It has backup options in case something was to go wrong with my computer I can restore my files."
 

Cons

"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The Security and privacy of this solution need improvement."
"I cannot edit a document at the same time as another user."
"Dropbox could improve by being more secure."
"The pricing could be better and/or more clear. Right now, they have a strange way of splitting pricing. It's a bit complicated and not clear for users."
"I think the product's interface is an area of concern since it has been changed for a long time and can be considered for improvement."
"It would be good if they could market themselves as a safe solution for corporates. Currently, most corporates don't see it as a safe area to share within."
"If someone manages a large amount of data, they will need more storage, which they must purchase."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"While the pricing is comparable, especially for users of Microsoft Office 365, the value proposition might not be as competitive for those seeking primarily storage options."

"Its price is quite cheap. It is quite competitive. You just need to pay for the license. There are no additional costs."
"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
