RE
Facilitates monitoring and control of our repositories, but would benefit from the inclusion of workflows
Our primary use case for this solution is secure file sharing All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure. The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after…

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"It is easy to install. It is stable and scalable."
"A valuable feature is that it stores my files and photos. I'm satisfied with this product."
"Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits."
"Setting up DropBox is straightforward, and one person can do it in less than five minutes."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It ensures all our staff are using the current version of our documents."
"The security is very good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The product could always offer more storage."
"The only thing I have had trouble with is the ability to share files. The recipients of my requests have had difficulty accessing the files."
"Considering the solution's shortcomings, I want the product to be more user-friendly and offer more storage capacity."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"I find it a little hard to organize my Dropbox folders on my mobile device."
"Dropbox could probably be improved around the integrated security, but those options are probably available. I don't have much of a view on improvements, based on the relatively few occasions that I use it."
"If someone manages a large amount of data, they will need more storage, which they must purchase."
"The solution could be better integrated with other platforms."

For me, the biggest thing is version history. I can easily go back and view older versions.
What needs improvement with Dropbox?
I would like to have a document flow. Sharing documents with other people in the same division or department and being able to work without downloading the file would be ideal. Working online would...
