Dropbox Reviews

The fact that it is accessible anywhere is the solution's most valuable feature.

The mobile aspect of the solution needs improvement. For instance, if I want to use a file from Dropbox on my phone, I sometimes struggle to download images off of Dropbox. The solution lacks accessibility on different devices.

The solution is stable. I haven't experienced any technical glitches or anything of that nature while using it over a number of years.

I only use a free account, so my storage is very limited. That's the only problem for me but other than that I think it is pretty scalable.

I used Box for work, which I found to be better, but it was a business account. For me, Box was easier to use. Using it on my mobile was much simpler.

The initial setup is extremely easy.

I use the free version of the solution. If you need more storage, you do need to pay a certain amount of money for it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution is very similar to Box. If I have the file on my computer, it will sync automatically. I would very rarely, for instance, access it online if I'm on my laptop. It's only the mobility aspects of it that are not so simple or quick.

The primary use case of this solution is to store and share files between several devices and also as a repository to have harmonization of the same versions of the same documents.

The deployment model is a hybrid cloud because I use it on my desktop, my laptop, on my mobile, and it operates in the cloud.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to access files and documents from any device, anywhere.

The Security and privacy of this solution need improvement. 

I am always worried about security and privacy. I don't know who can see my information in Dropbox.

There is indeed no way to collaborate in realtime, but for that function I use Google.

This solution is stable, and I have not detected any issues.

This solution is scalable. If you are willing to pay, then you can scale.

I have not contacted technical support.

Previously I used Google storage. Also, I had used a USB key for devices.

Initially, Dropbox was the only solution for desktops. Now, Google has software with the same functionality, they do the same thing.

Dropbox is unique because it was the first.

I am using the free solution, which provides me with 2GBs of storage, and for me, it's sufficient.

Everyone now is on the cloud using some cloud-based solution. Dropbox is not unique anymore, as there are several storage solutions available.

Dropbox is easy to use, easy to share, and easy to store documents and files.

This solution works fine and it has what I need. I am just a simple user. I am satisfied with this solution and I am not changing.

I am using the desktop client and I can upload and move folders.

If you need to share files, then Dropbox is a good solution.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I used Dropbox to store my files but they have deleted my account, and everything is no longer accessible.

They have deleted my files, and I have moved to another service provider. Their support department did not reply in a timely manner.

I can edit my files online, but the option is not that well-developed. However, I like the comments option.

• I would like to see an option to secure my files and set password protection to my folders. I want to lock my folders with a password. 
• I would like to be able to unarchive my files online.

I cannot reach anyone. They do not reply to me.

We use it for storing, retrieving, and sharing data. When teams work together, they may use documents which govern how the work is done or the product works. 

Dropbox enables storing such documents centrally and retrieving them as required. 

It ensures all our staff are using the current version of our documents. When a document is updated, the author updates it on his laptop and Dropbox updates the central document in the cloud.

Work documents are dynamic. As staff work on them, they change. It is important that when a staff member is working with any document, he/she uses the most current version. Dropbox enables this to happen through syncing, which enables updating a document as it is being worked on.

Improve the ease of use. Sometimes, occasional users struggle to login again and access documents. This can be very frustrating.

File syncing is the most valuable feature. I use it every day to sync files across to the cloud.

Dropbox Busines allows me to sync important work related files across multiple devices, which is important for collaboration.

The connectivity and start-up need improvement. Sometimes, it takes a while to start Dropbox services and files are not synced.

I have used Dropbox for four to five years.

Yes, sometime it may have issue while connecting from China

So far, we have encountered an outage once about three years ago.

Dropbox allows us to upgrade to increase space.

We have seldom contacted technical support.

We have been using Dropbox all along.

The setup is relatively easy and straightforward.

Do plan the storage space needed and upgrade accordingly.

Dropbox is a very easy-to-use site that allows me to save files to the cloud for retrieval from almost any device (laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc...). It has come in very handy on multiple occasions.

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 is a file hosting service (cloud storage and file-syncing services). Its strong points are

1) Availability of dedicated Apps on any kind of O.S.

2) seamless sync

3) file versioning

I use Dropbox as a personal productivity tool, to always have critical information available using a browser or working on the local copy of the contents.

The versioning feature enabled me to recover documents that I had edited by chance, which was really a life-saver for me

2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)

Some additional features related to photo and video are not interesting for me (probably it depends on the personal requirements)

Five years. However, 2017 is my first year as a Dropbox Plus user.

The installation is really easy. On the mobile devices you have to consider how much information you really need available offline (due to the more limited storage of the smartphone or tablet)

No, the software is fairly stable and reliable

Staying inside the 2Gb of the free subscription is not easy, when you get used to using DropBox

Never used it

Never used it

Onedrive (previously SkyDrive) was my favorite but some features that I am used to are not available

Installation is almost trivial

I am in a single user scenario

For many years it costed zero to me and granted a lot of features I needed.

Also if now I am a paying customer, I still feel the money is well spent.

A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated

Onedrive, Gdrive and EverNote. I use all of them along with Dropbox, but the latter is my main Cloud storage option.

Dropbox is very easy to use in a team environment. It is also great when sharing data with external parties. The small business version gave us ample capacity.

With Dropbox, team members around the world have access to up-to-date content.

• Price
• Dropbox, like many file sharing tools, needs to synch to a local hard drive. That is a bit difficult with 5TB Dropbox content.

Before decommissioning Dropbox, we used it for two years.

We could not get Dropbox to run effectively on a NAS. While in theory the tools are available, the synchronization never worked.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

Customer service is good. We received responses to our questions.

While they didn't give us the answer we needed, it was quite good.

We actually switched away from Dropbox to OneDrive though Office365.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

There is no need to deploy a vendor for a basic setup. Perhaps for more complex requirements, like running on a NAS, we should have deployed a vendor. But given the many options in place, it was easier to switch.

We were unable to establish a tangible ROI.

Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available.

We did not evaluate other options. At the time, Dropbox was recommended by peers and it appeared to be the most compelling option.

Dropbox has some excellent features. Some of its contraints are not exclusive to Dropbox. Given the options available these days, Dropbox for business is overpriced.
