Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere
I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

Automated URL shortening has boosted message delivery speed and reduced customer errors
The best features that SilverLining.Cloud URL Shortener offers have definitely been the REST API to shorten the URLs. It is also highly scalable. The REST API and key table features of SilverLining.Cloud URL Shortener help my team in practice, as the scalability is something that stands out. We send out up to hundreds of requests per second and get a low latency response, which is really impressive. SilverLining.Cloud URL Shortener has positively impacted my organization in that it has definitely reduced the errors and improved customer experience. When we did it manually or tried some other things to shorten the URL, there were manual errors that were happening and users were coming back or not reaching the actual URL.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the advantages of Dropbox is that you can share files with people who are external to your organization without any additional costs. It is also easy to use, stable, and trustworthy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to access files and documents from any device, anywhere."
"The performance has been good."
"Dropbox allows me to organize files well. I can name files in such a way as to lead students to the right destination."
"The setup was straightforward."
"For our purposes, we've been very happy with its overall capabilities."
"The performance is good."
"The performance is good and I am satisfied with the storage of this solution, but I would like to see more."
"We send out up to hundreds of requests per second and get a low latency response, which is really impressive."
 

Cons

"While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space."
"I would like to see more storage included and more lessons on how to optimize it."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"DropBox is a little more complicated to scale up than OneDrive. It isn't as seamless to scale up storage or change the number of users."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"There have been a few privacy and security issues that have soured me a bit on Dropbox over the last year or so."
"SilverLining.Cloud URL Shortener can be improved by having more out-of-the-box dashboards and BI integrations that would help non-technical stakeholders consume analytics more easily."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"Dropbox is one of the cheapest tools in the market."
"Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is paid for annually."
"The solution is purchased on a subscription basis, and there are purchasing options. If you purchase annually there is a discount."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
