Edgar  Paez - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Victor Bayouwa - PeerSpot reviewer
I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync
We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups.  The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again. It takes too long for…

"Availability of dedicated Apps on any kind of OS."
"Setting up DropBox is straightforward, and one person can do it in less than five minutes."
"Dropbox has a simple interface, and it's pretty straightforward."

"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"Ability to share documents."
"It helps you keep organized."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
 

Cons

"The price is expensive for individual users."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"One area of improvement would be to allow multiple users to edit a file simultaneously and see edits in real time, similar to OneDrive."
"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."
"File version control can be improved. It generates a lot of conflicts when people are working on the same file. Its integration with other solutions can be improved in terms of user experience. Integration is there, and it has connectors for Excel, Word, and other solutions, but it is not very friendly. There should be a better user experience."
"Considering the solution's shortcomings, I want the product to be more user-friendly and offer more storage capacity."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to start Dropbox services and files are not synced."
"I would like to be able to unarchive my files online."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"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."
"Dropbox offers a freemium model which is very convenient and affordable. Beyond that, the pricing is favorable."
"I use the free version of the solution."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"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."
"I don't pay any licensing costs."
"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
