Dropbox Reviews

The solution is primarily used for storing my personal files. I store items such as photos, maybe some documents, and faxes from everywhere.

The solution is stable. the reliability has been great.

The product can scale well.

The solution is very clear and easy to use. 

The solution could be a bit less expensive. They should make the pricing more reasonable. 

I've been using the solution for maybe two years at this point. It hasn't been too long just yet.

The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance has been good.

The product can scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can.

I've never reached out to technical support in the past. I've never had issues and therefore there has never been a need. However, due to this, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they might be.

I also use Google Cloud. I use both of these solutions for various tasks. 

The price could be a bit better. There are other options you could go to that wouldn't be as much.

We pay for the solution on a yearly basis. 

I've also evaluated Google Cloud and have compared the two solutions. 

I'm a customer and an end-user. I mainly use the solution for my own personal documents and other digital items. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. For the most part, we've been happy with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to other companies and users. 

Dropbox is used to store files and I am using it on a personal level.

The most valuable features of Dropbox are it can be used as a repository of all the photographs and videos that you have on the cloud. You do not need to worry about the hard disk crashing.

Dropbox can improve by enhancing the capacity of storage in the free version.

I have been using Dropbox for a few years.

Dropbox is a stable solution.

The scalability of Dropbox is good, but you would need to increase your subscription if you want more capacity.

I have not used the support from Dropbox.

I have not used another similar solution to Dropbox.

We are using the free version of Dropbox which has approximately two gigabytes of data capacity.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

We use Dropbox for our files when we finish our projects. For example, once we've done a forming project, we then upload the material. We do a first assembly cut on the material, and then we upload the content to Dropbox.

The final videos and productions that we use, all go into a Vimeo account that we have.

We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately three years.

Dropbox is a stable solution.

The only challenge we have is the bandwidth that we have because the stability comes down to the broadband that we're using. We don't have fiber-deployed across the UK. The copper bandwidth speed limitations are what we have.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

We have the producer, director, editor, and our customer base using the solution. We share the files and they only take a look at the files.  They're not doing any editing or modifications.

We had some issues closing accounts with the administration support.

We use Vimeo and Dropbox both in parallel, and we have standalone disc arrays that we use for storage and backup.

The implementation is straightforward and we access Dropbox by using a login, whoever needs to access it can use the login.

We were using Dropbox previously. It was simple to set up the directories and the file-sharing capabilities we needed to use and the different levels of access to some of our stakeholders, customers, and editors.

We did the implementation ourselves.

The solution is meeting our business requirements, but I haven't done a total cost of ownership. What I'd have to do to answer if I have had an ROI properly is to deploy our own storage system and then set up the backup for it locally, in a private cloud environment locally in a data center, and find out what it would cost us to operate. We would probably need an admin in place as well to manage all of it and determine the cost of power, hardware, software, versus what we are paying on a subscription basis for that whole service Dropbox account. I have not done this to determine the cost return.

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.

They can't cancel the license and transfer the data over to the new business account easily. There seem to be some complexities involved.

We pay annually to use the solution and the price is approximately £600.

We are using the five terabyte option of the solution.

My advice to others would be to keep the deployment simple, and the solution is simple to scale. Put a solution in place that meets your requirements. If it's a new business, put in place what the business is requiring, and if you do need to scale out and increase costs, then it's straightforward to do, it's quite an easy platform to use. They have a few good options available and don't oversubscribe to capacity that you're not going to use.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Dropbox can be useful for one's organization and personal usage.

We employ it for personal use. 

The solution could be better integrated with other platforms. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I have not had occasion to contact technical support. 

As the solution is cloud-based, installation is easy. 

I cannot speak with certainty about the price. The solution does not come with a licensing cost. 

We used Google prior to making use of the solution. We felt Dropbox to be an appropriate alternative. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Dropbox as 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 generally use it when I want to share work stuff quickly with somebody else because OneDrive can be a pain in the ass.

I kind of just use it as it is without any integrations. 

We use it for projects with multiple consultants. It's an easier way to gather all the information in a single place. That way, nobody has to ask for documentation. If something goes missing, it's at least all stored in Dropbox.

For me, the biggest thing is version history. I can easily go back and view older versions.

It's easy to use. Once it's installed on your laptop, you don't even have to think about it.

I like the file versioning. It's helpful if something goes missing or gets changed.

The security features of Dropbox seem pretty good. I've never had any security issues, and it gives me notifications if anything unusual happens.

Sometimes, the startup can be a bit slow, which is slightly irritating, but otherwise, I don't really struggle with it at all.

So, the performance could be faster. 

I've had no issues. It's always there and works perfectly fine. I use it daily.

The stability is pretty good. I would rate it a ten out of ten. I've never had an issue with it.

It's definitely scalable, especially if you're willing to pay. I'd rate the scalability maybe a seven out of ten. Once I stop paying, it is an issue. The pricing can be a bit frustrating once I need to upgrade.

There are around 20 end users using it. 

I use Dropbox and Google Drive. 

I use Dropbox more frequently for personal use. The company is trying to get us to move to OneDrive.

For me, when I started, the standard was Dropbox, so we went straight with that.

The initial setup is pretty easy - just click next, next, next. It takes less than five minutes.

No technical team is needed. I can do it. It just a quick install.

We use a yearly license. It's not a bad price. I'd rate it about a five out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. It's not terrible, but it's also not the best compared to Google Drive, which is a lot cheaper.

There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

We use OneDrive. With OneDrive, we can work simultaneously on the same document, which can be quite useful. That's the main OneDrive functionality that I actually like.

It's a pretty good product. I'd rate it about a nine out of ten overall. The only real issue is the pricing.

It's easy to use, works well for sharing, and isn't complicated at all. So, it's quite simple.

For me, personally, it's good value because I pay for it myself. I have all my documents stored conveniently, and I can use them across devices. It doesn't have to be my specific company device–I can use it on my personal devices as well. That's what makes it convenient.

Dropbox is used for storing data in the cloud. We use it for storing company documents for them to be accessed by other groups. For example, something gets published on Dropbox and we have the link for access.

Many people can use the Dropbox service and edit the data, it is simple to use.

The free storage amount should be increased.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately four years.

Dropbox is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 500 using this solution in my organization.

Before we use Dropbox we use our internal storage.

The solution is paid for annually.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits.

The interface could have bigger buttons.

I've been using Dropbox for the last couple of years.

Dropbox is stable enough to use. It's fine.

Dropbox is a cloud storage solution, so there's not a whole lot to set up.

I rate Dropbox seven out of 10.
