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 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."
"What I like most about Dropbox is that it's very, very easy to use. It's also easy to share files through it."
"The setup was straightforward."
"Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The main feature that I found the most valuable is the ability to link the documents such that they are automatically taken to a page where you can review them."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is user-friendly."
"I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous peer environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
 

Cons

"The tool must be better protected."
"I find it a little hard to organize my Dropbox folders on my mobile device."
"The solution could be a bit less expensive."
"The solution lacks sufficient storage capabilities."
"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."
"Dropbox can improve by enhancing the capacity of storage in the free version."
"I would like to see integration with Office products, it would be very helpful."
"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 only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We use a yearly license. The pricing is not a bad price. I'd rate it about a five out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap."
"I am on a monthly subscription for the solution and I am somewhat satisfied with the pricing. However, the price could a bit better."
"Dropbox could be less expensive, and I pay monthly."
"Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available."
"I use the free version of the solution."
"We pay a monthly subscription fee."
"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."
"The pricing is very good."
