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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dropbox is easy to use."
"The features that I find most valuable are the ability to sync across devices, easily access/share files and organize them among myself and my team."
"The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Dropbox is an easy-to-use solution that has good stability."
"Simple to share files with others."
"I can edit my files online, and I like the comments option."
"It ensures all our staff are using the current version of our documents."
"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."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"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."
 

Cons

"The free storage amount should be increased."
"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."
"The problem with the storage is that you are only able to synchronize the information within the amount of storage that you have. It doesn't matter if you are accessing from a team member who has more storage, the limitations are with your storage."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should archive the data."
"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."
"The interface could have bigger buttons."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to start Dropbox services and files are not synced."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"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."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is quite cheap. It is quite competitive. You just need to pay for the license. There are no additional costs."
"I don't pay any licensing costs."
"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."
"We pay a monthly subscription fee."
"Dropbox offers a freemium model which is very convenient and affordable. Beyond that, the pricing is favorable."
"The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity."
"My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product."
"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
"The pricing is very good."
