Dropbox Reviews

Dropbox provides a space where you can get all the required files, and you can also upload anything you require, like any kind of files or storage configurations, which you can then access directly from it.

If there is a network, you can access Dropbox from any geographic location. Sometimes, if you don't have a storage device with you, you can access your content from Dropbox, which is a major advantage of the tool.

In terms of the limitations, 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 aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

I want to be able to upload certain configurations or setup files, like .exe files, on Dropbox. Sometimes, .exe files take time to get uploaded, or it doesn't get uploaded at all.

I have used Dropbox at a personal level for two to three years.

I use the product to generally store my documents. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.

In every technology, there are new developments. No new technologies introduced in the market can be 100 percent perfect.

My colleagues, consisting of 11 or 12 people, use Dropbox in our organization.

I use Dropbox at a personal level. My company prefers to use Google Drive.

I don't deploy the product since I am just an end user.

The time to deploy the product is something that depends on a user's network. If a user has a 5G network, the deployment won't take much time. The deployment takes time if you operate in a slow network environment.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The product is worth the money. Irrespective of the geographical location that you are present in, and even if you don't have any storage devices, you can access your data and files with the help of Dropbox.

With Dropbox, the integration part is simple to handle since it doesn't put forth many requirements. You just need to sync your data and emails with Dropbox, after which you can access your data from anywhere. There are some device specifications that you need to meet to be able to use the product, which may pose some limitations.

I recommend the product to others who plan to use it since it is a prominent tool in the market that always provides prompt support whenever you want to access it.

I am not used to the integration capabilities of the product since it is not something that is used in our company. My company mostly uses Google Drive and SharePoint in the professional environment.

In terms of data protection, the product provides security features. In some devices, if your mailbox is not synced, then you won't get any access to such emails in Dropbox. In Dropbox, you can set the permissions of who can access and who can view or download certain files. If you give someone your Dropbox access, you can give them permission to use it.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

I primarily use it to store and share files with individuals across different continents. It serves as a convenient platform for saving and exchanging various documents and materials with others.

It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features.

While generally user-friendly, there is room for improvement in the user interface, especially with the introduction of new integrations and features.

I have been using it for approximately six years.

I find it to be very stable. I have not encountered any issues, nor have I heard of any problems from others. I would rate it a solid ten out of ten.

While I don't have personal experience in this aspect, based on what I've read, I would say it is quite scalable. Initially, we had around fifty users, but the number has since decreased, currently ranging from thirty to forty. Despite the reduction in users, the platform is still extensively used.

I have never reached out to their technical support because our local tech support has proven to be competent enough to address any issues.

We used SharePoint in the past, which was a Microsoft platform, but that was quite a while ago.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment is handled by my team. They take care of the configuration, and it typically only takes five to ten minutes for end-user setup.

There's undoubtedly a significant return on investment because we transitioned from the Microsoft SharePoint Live OneDrive solution. Previously, we had a formal user complaint base, but now, thanks to the user-friendly interface and improved performance, we've managed to considerably reduce user complaints. The platform has proven to be effective for our team.

We have a corporate license for this platform, which involves an annual subscription. The pricing varies depending on the version, and the one we currently utilize is the business version. I'm aware that there is a larger version available, but the one we have meets our storage requirements adequately. I would rate it eight out of ten.

My recommendation, especially for individuals engaged in extensive work involving large video files, presentations, or design documents that need to be shared with third parties across continents or locations, is that this platform is an ideal solution. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

I use it for personal file sharing.

I find the flexibility of accessing my data from anywhere to be a significant advantage. The various methods for accessing files, such as through mobile apps, online synchronization, and on a PC, are highly valuable.

One aspect that I believe could be enhanced is the family sharing feature. Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering. It would be valuable if it offered an archival service that allows users to transfer active mailbox data into long-term storage. Such a feature would be beneficial for archiving and preserving data over extended periods.

I have been using it for eight years now.

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

While I am impressed with the scalability aspect, I would like to emphasize the need for more scalability, especially for personal use. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I have exclusively used Google Drive, including Google Apps for Business, and Dropbox.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup involves configuring the settings, but beyond that, there's minimal maintenance required. Once you've set it up, there's not much in terms of ongoing configuration and upkeep. The vendor handles most of the maintenance tasks, so there's very little for us to do. The deployment time depends on internet latency, but it doesn't take more than half an hour to an hour.

I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market. The pricing is affordable for a range of businesses, from small to large. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would highly recommend it. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

I use the solution for sharing data. I also use it for sharing project responsibilities with my team.

We use it in our development and production environments. The product has created an industry standard.

The product must provide users with the ability to edit and modify documents.

I have been using the solution for five years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten. More than 20 people are using the product in our organization. We do not have plans to increase the number of users.

I was using IBM’s product. I prefer IBM’s product because it collaborates with the embedded cloud.

The initial setup is simple and straightforward. The product can read and share data on Microsoft pretty easily. The deployment took 15 to 20 minutes.

We deployed the solution in-house. To deploy the product, we must follow simple steps. We do not need the help of a consultant. We just need to read the steps on the website. We need only one junior engineer to manage and maintain the solution.

We must pay when we upsize to a larger space.

I prefer Google One over Dropbox. We use Dropbox only to separate our files. Google One has similar features to Dropbox. However, Google One is better than Dropbox because of the complex environment that Google provides.

The newcomers like Google One, Microsoft, IBM, and other products have similar features. We have a regulation not to use much in the cloud. We tend to use the tools offered by our local vendors. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

I use Dropbox primarily for exchanging data with customers.

What I like about Dropbox is how easy it is to share and collaborate on files with customers. It is straightforward and works seamlessly.

There is room for improvement in Dropbox's security measures. Some customers opt for a private solution they have developed because they prioritize a higher level of security.

I have been using Dropbox for a few months.

We have not had any major stability issues with Dropbox.

Scalability isn't a top priority for our needs at the moment, so we haven't specifically requested high scalability for our storage. Typically, custom solutions aren't inherently very scalable. This is why integrating with a cloud solution like Dropbox makes sense for us - it offers the scalability we might need in the future without worrying about it. At our company, we have teams of five to ten people in larger groups with around 100-150 users. It helps us cater to different-sized teams and projects.

The initial setup is very simple. Setting up our solution doesn't require a big team; usually, a couple of people are enough for deployment. One person handles the project deployment, and we use internal resources for ongoing maintenance.

Dropbox is fairly priced with a yearly license.

I wouldn't recommend Dropbox based on my experience. For customers and managers dealing with scientific data, a custom solution might be preferable, and that is why we lean towards it. Even if someone is considering a shift to the cloud, we prefer a more tailored approach rather than using Dropbox. Overall, I would rate Dropbox as an eight out of ten.

I use Dropbox for backups.

Dropbox offers helpful functionalities for business purposes, such as receiving file requests from external parties like customers who don't have an account. Additionally, it includes features, such as reminders and workflow capabilities.

The price is expensive for individual users.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately 10 years.

I rate the stability of Dropbox a ten out of ten.

I am an individual user of the solution.

The initial setup of Dropbox is simple and it took approximately 10 minutes.

To access the online service, it was required to create an account, and subsequently, to use the desktop application, which necessitated downloading and installing it.

The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity.

There is a monthly and annual model pay and use solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

I don't need to carry my laptop while traveling. I just synchronize whatever I've been doing to Dropbox. After the document is synchronized, I can leave my laptop and use Dropbox wherever I am. 

I can also easily share a document with my colleagues, no matter how big it is. I can allow them to edit, and the editing will be instant. I can see whatever changes they've made to the document.

It doesn't delete a document automatically. If I make a mistake and delete a file, it doesn't automatically delete the file. It gives you the warning to say you're deleting a file. In terms of security, I haven't had any challenges with Dropbox where they tell you that your data is compromised.

The arrangement of documents can be simplified. Personally, I am used to it, but for a new user, it might be a little confusing. It can maybe have a feature to allow people to collaborate or work on the same document at the same time.

I'm just using it to load and access information, and I haven't faced many challenges. However, I have seen that the whole system or laptop slows down a bit when I am synchronizing files to Dropbox. I don't know if it is because of my system. It might be good if they can enhance the synchronization process so that we can specify that synchronization should be done after 30 minutes. In addition, synchronization should only be done for the documents that have been uploaded.

For corporate data, we started using Dropbox in January, but personally, I have been using Dropbox for a long time.

It has been very stable from the time I started using it.

It is very scalable. It is just a question of choosing a plan depending on the amount of data. If you want to increase your storage from 15 GB to more than 15 GB, you can easily do that. You just make the payment. 

In terms of the number of users, we have 200 staff members and around 3,000 students. Some people in our organization prefer using Google Drive, and some of them prefer using Dropbox. Therefore, I can't provide the number of users. If we had an enterprise Dropbox where the IT department managed the storage space for different users, I would know how many people are using it and how often. For deployment, we have about five people in total.

We plan to keep using this solution. If I can get somebody to assist me with the enterprise solution, I will definitely go for it.

I'm just using it to load the information and then access information, and I haven't faced many challenges.

We are also using Google Drive for Education. Google Drive Enterprise is for private companies, and Google Drive for Education is for universities. It is less costly than Google Drive Enterprise.

It is a cloud-based solution. I created an account and allocated the space. After that, I synchronized my data. I didn't have any challenges. It was just a matter of a few clicks. It took less than five minutes after downloading the whole file.

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.

I didn't evaluate other solutions. It was coming as one of the best options when I was searching on the web. I looked at the product ratings and found it to be a better option.

I would definitely recommend this solution for other business users. I would rate Dropbox a nine out of ten.

I use the solution to keep track of the things that I use at my store.

The solution's most valuable feature revolves around ensuring that my files are saved in another place in case I can't find them on my computer.

The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required. In terms of what my company uses the product for, I would say that the tool serves the purpose.

I have been using Dropbox for five to six years.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The product does not provide any service whenever there is a problem with the internet connection.

It is a scalable solution. I can buy more storage. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I use the tool at a personal level.

My company has experience with Microsoft Teams and Apple iCloud. I started to use Dropbox for my own personal use. I think Microsoft Teams just came as a part of Microsoft's package, a reason why I collaborate a little bit with it at work. Apple iCloud is for my own personal use.

The tool is easy to deploy.

After the solution is deployed, I just create some commonly used files, and then I drop my documents in Dropbox.

The solution can be deployed in five to ten minutes.

The solution is deployed on a cloud model.

From an ROI perspective, I think that the tool has the ability to add a certain level of security to the files stored in it, which is helpful if my computer explodes or something.

My company makes monthly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product. I think it's a reasonably priced product. There is no need to pay anything extra apart from the payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product.

The product was not very helpful in dealing with a project and improving collaboration.

I have not integrated the product with any other tools. I don't think it's necessary for me.

The security features of the product for data protection are good. I rate the security part a ten out of ten.

I can recommend the product to others who want to use it. It is easy to use. It is a stable and reasonably priced tool. I think the tool's performance is good.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
