Free, easy to use, and scalable
Pros and Cons
  • "It's very easy to use and quite accessible for everybody."
  • "It would be good if they could market themselves as a safe solution for corporates. Currently, most corporates don't see it as a safe area to share within."

What is our primary use case?

I have used Dropbox on the odd occasion to share files and so on with external parties. For example, I've used it to share big files such as videos and items of that nature. I mainly use it for sharing different types of files and for storage. 

What is most valuable?

The solution is stable.

The performance is good.

It's very easy to use and quite accessible for everybody.

The solution scales well.

The solution is free to use. 

You don't need to install anything.

What needs improvement?

It would be good if they could market themselves as a safe solution for corporates. Currently, most corporates don't see it as a safe area to share within.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a while. It's been five years or longer. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has been stable over the years. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I find it to be reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's my understanding that the solution scales well. I've never run into any problems. If a user needs to expand their usage, they can do so.

We have about 200 people using it within our company.

How are customer service and technical support?

I've never dealt with technical support. It has never been necessary, as I've never run into issues. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. It's very easy to use. So much so, the average person would not need support services. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn't use any other storage solutions before we began using Dropbox.

How was the initial setup?

As a cloud solution, there technically is no installation process you have to go through. You just access it and use it. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We use the free version of the solution. We don't pay any licensing fees. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not an IT person, I'm a business person. I'm not overly technical.

I'm a Dropbox end-user and customer. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've been quite please with its capabilities so far.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies.

The solution has worked very well over the years. It's reliable.

We find the product to be stable. 

The scalability is great for us. 

The product has the option for a free version.

The product could always offer more storage.

I've been using the solution for several years at this point. I can't speak to the exact amount of time. It's been a long while. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also have experience with Google Drive

Previously, I likely used a Microsoft product, however, I'm working more with cloud-based options.

It's a cloud-based solution. Therefore, there is no installation process.

Simplicity is key - sharing files with others and accessibility from anywhere
Pros and Cons
  • "Simple to share files with others."
  • "It's an expensive solution."

What is our primary use case?

This solution is for my personal use and the primary use case is for storing files.

What is most valuable?

I like the ability to share with others who have Dropbox accounts and the fact that it's accessible from anywhere. Overall, it's a very good software.

What needs improvement?

The drawback to this product is the cost. When you use other solutions such as Google Drive or Microsoft, their office suite is accessible and integrated with other things. Dropbox is just a files product. If Dropbox wants to compete, they should be offering it at a reasonable price given that the product is only a file storage solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for a couple of years. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used Google Drive for a long time. I switched to Dropbox at a time when Google still used labels to organize structure and it was quite annoying to create a folder structure in Google Drive. I switched to Dropbox because it was easier to use.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I've stopped paying Dropbox because I'm spending more time on Microsoft these days. 

What other advice do I have?

This is a great solution, it's just too expensive. Microsoft has better deals with the Windows 365 suite and with a Visual Studio subscription you get additional space. You can bundle together several products from Microsoft. OneDrive is normally free and offers more or less the same features as Dropbox just not as nice. If it's just a matter of sharing something, I would recommend Dropbox. If there's a need for computer backup or photograph backup, then I would strongly recommend something else because the cost is prohibitive on Dropbox.

I rate the solution a nine out of 10.

Convenient cloud storage, backup options available, and initial setup straightforward
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is its convenience, I can retrieve files online from various places. It has backup options in case something was to go wrong with my computer I can restore my files."

    What is our primary use case?

When I will have my own personal computer again I think I will use it more often.

    I have been using this solution for many years.
