Dropbox Business - Enterprise Reviews

I use Dropbox on a personal level and do not use it for work. I know some of our projects do, but I have a personal Dropbox account.

My main use case for Dropbox in general is personal storage, file management, and family sharing with family members.

I really enjoy Dropbox. I have been using it for probably 15 to 20 years. When they first came out, I jumped on the bandwagon, so I have had them ever since. I do enjoy the family sharing plan, so my entire family can use my one plan and my data storage, and we can have shared files or private areas for their own files. That is great. I love the backup features.

Dropbox does have reporting capabilities. I do not use them much because I use it on a personal level, but I have seen the reporting and analytics that you can get from Dropbox. It is about on par with other cloud-based services. It gives you the same analytics: who has accessed what and who has shared what files, and your basic analytics.

I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops.

When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop.

Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

I have been using it for probably 15 to 20 years.

I have not really had to use their customer support, so I suppose that is a good thing. I really have not hit many brick walls where I have had to ask for customer support. But when I have, I want to say that it has been adequate. I do not have any bad memories. I do not have any great memories. They just come in, do what they need to do, and get out.

Before Dropbox, I used Box. Dropbox, I think, for me was primarily focused on personal accounts and small business for a number of years. They were not really focused on corporate or large company support. They are just now, really in the last two to three years, getting into meeting the needs of business customers more than personal accounts. I see a lot more options for businesses as far as enterprise-level options and add-ons, including signing features similar to what Box offers. That has only come in recently with Dropbox. So they are starting to play catch-up because Box is really working hard to earn large corporation business. I think that Dropbox is losing out to Box. They are fixing that now in the last three to five years. They have been really focusing in on business so that they can be competitive.

I would probably give Dropbox Business - Enterprise an eight. I think that there is still a lot of work to do on it.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise is intuitive. I really do believe that it is very intuitive in its use and functionality, so that is a huge thing for me. It is easy to get in and play and try and do things, and you really do not break it that easily. I believe my parents who are in their 80s use my Dropbox account, and it is good for people that are older.

I think Dropbox Business - Enterprise would be a solid enterprise application for a mid-level company. I am not sure they are quite up for a large top-tier company, but for a mid-level company with 50 to 100 employees or 100 to 200 employees, they would be fine. It would be good. My overall review rating for this product is 8 out of 10.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise is being used across our entire organization to transfer large files that normally cannot be emailed. We also receive large documents on a regular basis from our customers and clients that have the need to send us large volumes of data. We needed a secure way to send and receive these documents, and that is when Dropbox Business - Enterprise came into our minds and we started to use it.

A recent time I used Dropbox Business - Enterprise for transferring files was when I had to send a large amount of documents securely, and I found Dropbox Business - Enterprise to meet these needs without issue. We can send either one large document or volumes of documents securely. Co-authoring does not work from our desktop, and the documents must be accessed from Dropbox for that to work. I appreciate Dropbox Business - Enterprise because it is very easy to use. All our employees and our clients are able to use it with minimal supervision, especially when we have employees who are scattered in different locations with several working from home and one working out of state. Dropbox Business - Enterprise enables us to collaborate on workflow and to share documents across all various locations in which we have our employees.

The best features Dropbox Business - Enterprise offers include a synchronized client to synchronize files from our computer to the cloud, and the mobile app is very intuitive. It is very secure, protects our data from any breaches, and provides a means to safely store our documents without having to have physical copies. It also allows for easy organization of our documents in folders and searching the system.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise enhances cloud access remotely and also seamlessly integrates with our IT stack.

Since using Dropbox Business - Enterprise, it has been a really helpful tool because we have seen it becoming very seamless for sharing files with our clients and customers and our team members, thereby improving our collaboration. It is very secure and has boosted data security by eighty percent. It also enhances cloud access remotely and has a great return on investment because it saves us time and is affordable for our team compared to other alternatives.

To improve Dropbox Business - Enterprise, I would suggest making it faster than it is currently and arranging the interface to be more user-friendly.

I have been using Dropbox Business - Enterprise for a period of eight years.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise is very stable.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise's scalability is very good, as we are able to handle and send large files and receive large files from our clients without seeing any crashes or downtime.

Customer support for Dropbox Business - Enterprise is very supportive, being prompt in facing any issues and responding to our queries.

I previously used Box and Apple iCloud.

I switched from Box and Apple iCloud to Dropbox Business - Enterprise because it works better across multiple platforms without taking up too many resources locally.

I moved away from Box and Apple iCloud because Dropbox Business - Enterprise offers much more cost-effectiveness compared to those solutions. It is also very easy to use, very secure, and promotes collaboration among my team members, clients, and customers globally.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the price is relatively very competitive, cost-effective, and affordable because it offers ample storage space for all our files. The setup is easy, and I have not encountered any challenges so far.

Since we started using Dropbox Business - Enterprise, we have seen some measurable return on investment. For example, it has enabled easy organization and access to documents for compliance purposes. It has been a very helpful tool, especially saving us time by sharing files faster and collaborating on files easily. It has also increased our security in my organization, boosting file sharing security and efficiency in project development by improving how easily we can share project files.

When I mention an eighty percent boost in data security, it is based on the few numbers of data breaches that we have encountered.

I find the pricing very competitive and affordable, and I have no issue with it. The support is very proactive, and I have no issues with the customer support. Overall, it meets our business cloud management expectations, making it a good tool.

Before choosing Dropbox Business - Enterprise, I evaluated Box.

I would advise others looking into using Dropbox Business - Enterprise that it is a great tool that works better across multiple platforms without taking many resources. It is easy to organize files and share them, promoting collaboration inside and outside your organization. It is very secure, cost-effective, and easy to use, making it a highly recommendable tool.

I have additional thoughts about Dropbox Business - Enterprise as there have been countless occasions when someone asked me for a file while I was away from my desk. It was extremely easy and satisfying to access Dropbox Business - Enterprise from my phone and send or share that file, allowing me to work on the go anywhere I am as long as I am connected to the internet.

I would rate this product nine out of ten.

My main use case for Dropbox Business - Enterprise is that I have been using Dropbox personal for over eight years, and when we began to look for a solution for file sharing, our first instinct was to use our internal network. However, we soon found out how challenging it can be for people to figure out how to navigate shared devices. On top of that, we needed to share files with multiple users who are not employees and don't have access to the network in my organization. Dropbox Business - Enterprise allowed us not only to share files but also to organize and back up important financial and other important documents for more redundancy without the fear of losing local data.

In my day-to-day work, I use Dropbox Business - Enterprise to share files with individuals outside of our network, and it is easy to quickly access via Dropbox Business - Enterprise app. This is a significant advantage.

The best features that Dropbox Business - Enterprise offers include secure file sharing and seamless integration. It is easy to use.

Out of those features, I find secure file sharing, seamless integration, and ease of use all very valuable in my work. Every feature counts, and it is very important, especially when it comes to secure file sharing. The secure file-sharing capability with external users and features like expiration are highly valuable. This ensures that sensitive information is shared securely while maintaining control over access to the files.

Additionally, seamless integration has allowed us to integrate it with software such as Adobe and Microsoft, enhancing our experience as software engineers. This integration allows for a smoother workflow and increased productivity. The simplicity of the platform enhances usability for both new and experienced users.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise can capture activity reports of licensed users and all activity across Dropbox. I can share data in and out of Dropbox easily, and reports of data files shared with non-licensed or out-of-the-firm individuals are easy to generate. Data encryption and security protocols for the business are excellent. Dropbox Business - Enterprise also permits secure partnerships across its platform with additional software providers such as Adobe and Microsoft. It is also easy to remove and add new licenses, scan for lost data, recover data, and clean data.

Since we started using Dropbox Business - Enterprise, our file security has improved. It is easy to share files with my team members or other people from outside my organization, thus increasing collaboration.

When I talk about improved file security and increased collaboration, I have noticed measurable changes such as fewer lost files and increased security of the files and other data services by eighty percent. Additionally, Dropbox Business - Enterprise has enabled easy organization and access to documents for compliance purposes.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise needs to be improved, especially in Google Doc integration, which is not so seamless. There should be document searching that is seamless. The desktop tool is not as robust as compared to the mobile app version.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise is very stable. I have not experienced any downtime or lagging.

The scalability of Dropbox Business - Enterprise is very good. It grows with my organization. I can handle large documents or files easily.

The customer support from Dropbox Business - Enterprise is one of the best I have encountered. They are very proactive, very supportive, and very professional. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the customer support at nine out of ten.

Positive

I previously used Google Drive, and the reason why I switched from Google Drive to Dropbox Business - Enterprise is because Dropbox Business - Enterprise does a better job in document organization and sharing compared to Google Drive.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that the price was competitive compared to other alternatives. The setting was easy and straightforward.

We are completely customers, and we do not have a business relationship with Dropbox other than being a customer.

I have seen a return on investment with reduced cost, quicker development turnaround, reduced management hassle, and improved collaboration between clients and team members.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that the price was competitive compared to other alternatives.

Before choosing Dropbox Business - Enterprise, I evaluated other options such as Google Analytics.

I do not have any problem with sharing files with clients because it is secure and easy. The support is very great, and the user interface is seamless. It is very user-friendly and intuitive. I do not think there are any problems that I have noticed since I started using this platform.

My advice for others looking into using Dropbox Business - Enterprise is that it is well-suited when you need to organize files that need to be shared among a group of people. It has the added benefit of automatically providing documents. Dropbox Business - Enterprise has a great, granular level of security, as well as the ability to provide an upload folder for our clients to send files with. I would say Dropbox Business - Enterprise is less appropriate if you need to do collaborative editing on a document. While there is Google Doc integration, it is a little bit difficult to get the setup and running consistently.

I also love the ability to have Dropbox Business - Enterprise folders accessible from Finder. It makes it seem that your cloud storage is local, but you do not take up space on your hard drive. Dropbox Business - Enterprise makes it easy to share files with anyone, externally or internally, thus promoting collaboration. I would rate this product an overall eight out of ten.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise is my main use case, and we use it every hour, every minute, and every day, making it an integral part of our daily routine. It is an outstanding tool that provides excellent value at a low cost for storing data. We have complete control over who can access our files at the folder and file levels, and it is smooth to use with an excellent user interface that offers various storage options for our business.

Logging in gives us easy access to all our data, which I treasure deeply. I can access it from any location where I have an internet connection, making it very convenient even while working remotely or at home. Our company benefits from its assistance in managing and growing as an organization, and as a professional, it is a must-have tool that keeps our files safe.

We can share files with other team members and collaborate effectively, while Dropbox Business - Enterprise updates our work on the go and enables us to keep in touch, particularly using the mobile app. It is easy to use on all devices including my smartphone, desktop computer, and tablet, and we can send files through this method in addition to text and email.

A specific example of how my team uses Dropbox Business - Enterprise in our daily workflow is that we have been able to share files securely and collaborate on them effectively from department to department and from one team member to another, thereby promoting collaboration and teamwork throughout my organization.

In addition to this, we are also able to upload files to an uploader folder protected by the service's high security, and I appreciate the stability it provides, which allows us to be more productive. The system integration and numerous sharing options are also valuable features.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise helps me collaborate with external partners or clients through file sharing, enabling effective collaboration.

Some of the best features that Dropbox Business - Enterprise offers include device management, file organization, user role management, file search, access control, document collaboration, versioning, and video files.

The feature I find myself using the most, which is the most valuable to me, is document collaboration, as it enables us to edit files and attach comments easily in real time. The access control is also excellent because we can control who can access the files and at what time, including different levels of access such as view only or permission to edit. The file search is a very crucial feature that allows us to easily find files and search within multiple files, thereby saving a lot of time.

Additionally, I find file organization to be a standout feature, as it allows me to choose where the files will be stored and manage individual user storage, which includes control over the file organization structure.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise has positively impacted my organization because it has been really helpful since we started using it, adding more security to our files and other data. It is very effective because it allows me to access what I need easily, offers huge space at a cost-effective level, and I appreciate the user-friendly interface and nature of the tool. It has also provided our business with the ability to offer 100% to our employees in our industry, which was not an option previously.

In terms of the 100% offering to our employees, Dropbox has enabled us to produce better email and text marketing strategies, gaining international attention and increasing our ROI within a two-year period of 15%.

Some areas for improvement in Dropbox Business - Enterprise include the addition of multiple admins, as having only one would be outstanding. I find using the desktop application to be challenging compared to the mobile app version, and there is also a company blocking it for security concerns.

I would also appreciate the feature that allows visibility of who last modified a file, as that would be beneficial.

I would like to see more aggressive customer support, especially when we need immediate attention.

I have been using Dropbox Business - Enterprise for seven to eight years.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise is very stable, and I have not experienced any downtime.

The scalability of Dropbox Business - Enterprise is impressive, as it can handle a huge amount of data seamlessly while maintaining fast and reliable performance.

The customer support of Dropbox Business - Enterprise is excellent, but they should improve their responsiveness, as users sometimes need a quick response and they can take hours to reply.

Negative

Before switching to Dropbox Business - Enterprise, I previously used Google Drive and Redtail CRM.

I switched from those solutions to Dropbox Business - Enterprise because it is better than Redtail or Google Drive in terms of allowing easy organization and access to files and documents.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that the price is relatively competitive compared to competitors such as Google Drive, and the setup was straightforward and easy.

Integrating Dropbox Business - Enterprise with my existing IT environment and tools was very seamless and easy.

I have seen a return on investment as file sharing security has improved, enabling efficiency in project development, particularly when collaborating on a project where we share files, edit them, and work together effectively. It is also a very easy tool to use, allowing organization and access to documents for compliance purposes, and enabling us to go paperless in many areas, as files are maintained within Dropbox rather than physically on-premises.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that the price is relatively competitive compared to competitors such as Google Drive, and the setup was straightforward and easy.

I evaluated WordPress as another option before choosing Dropbox Business - Enterprise.

To others looking into using Dropbox Business - Enterprise, I would say that I am deeply impressed with its performance handling huge data, and the mobile application is excellent for working on the go and collaborating remotely. It has added security to our files and data services and enhanced collaboration in my organization, making it a must-have tool for any organization seeking a secure, reliable, and high-performance file management system. Dropbox is the real deal.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise helps us meet compliance or regulatory requirements because it is very secure and meets all the necessary requirements due to its security features.

Dropbox Business - Enterprise helps me with disaster recovery or business continuity by allowing easy recovery of lost files.

I manage user access and permissions in Dropbox Business - Enterprise through file versioning, making it easy to give permissions to whoever needs to see a certain file, as well as setting permissions for things such as file access, sharing, and editing.

The performance of Dropbox Business - Enterprise has always been fast and reliable when handling large files and bandwidth, and I have not experienced any issues with performance.

I purchased Dropbox Business - Enterprise through the AWS Marketplace.

I gave this review an overall rating of 9 out of 10.

Dropbox is very secure, easy to use, and reliable for file syncing, making it a preferred choice for seamless collaboration and file sharing across devices.

The performance is generally smooth, with fast syncing across devices and minimal issues when sharing large files.

The UI is clean and easy to navigate, which makes file management and collaboration straightforward even for new users.

Dropbox offers seamless collaboration, an intuitive and user-friendly interface, and effortless file sharing and backups.

Sometimes syncing takes longer than I expect, especially with large folders or when my internet is unstable.

I have used the solution for 5 years.

I used Box before. Dropbox is much easier to use and is stable, flexible, and also has a very intuitive UI. Backup and file syncing work great at a cost-effective price.

Dropbox makes it easy to share files across teams, hence improving collaboration. Also, I can store and access my files anywhere, anytime.

I considered Microsoft OneDrive and Hightail as alternate solutions.

Dropbox offers effortless file sync and team collaboration.

I use it just as a backup system on the cloud for my personal documents and pictures.

It is very practical and so easy to upload and download files and carry on without my computer. I can work anywhere, and that's correct.

I would like to have a document flow. Sharing documents with other people in the same division or department and being able to work without downloading the file would be ideal. Working online would be nice.

I have used it for maybe five years, yet only in a personal mode.

The support is provided by a special area inside of the company. These are people who have the skills for technology issues. They try to configure and teach other people how to use it. We provide the support ourselves and do not have any support straight from Dropbox.

Neutral

I used SharePoint and ShareFile maybe five years ago for a specific project. I was only a user, not an administrator of the environment.

It is difficult to set up. I'd rate the solution maybe a six or seven out of ten.

Many of our employees are not technical people. They work in energy and are field workers. We have two main groups of people. One is for administrative issues, and the other, which is 70% of the company, consists of field workers. That is about 60 or 70 people, with maybe 12% needing to work with it.

I would like to know how to use all of its features or used other options. 

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.

Positive

We use Dropbox primarily for file storage and management. 

The search functionality and the ability to preview images are quite good. It's similar to managing files on my computer.

Dropbox needs to improve its integration with Google platforms, including Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides, which facilitate easier collaboration. I would also like to see features related to folder structure recommendations and enhanced encryption.

I have used the solution for around two years.

We are considering switching from Dropbox to Google Suite because Google Suite offers better collaboration features.

We are using the free version of Dropbox.

I am considering switching to Google Suite.

I'd rate the solution seven 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.

I rely on its implementation feature to securely back up my critical files without the need for individual backups which involves utilizing its integration with the local drives on my various computers. I also use it to share files with clients across different computers. Whether using a computer within our company, my laptop, or another family computer with Dropbox installed, I can access my files seamlessly from all these locations. Another use case involves synchronizing certain documents between Dropbox and my mobile phone. This ensures that I have access to the latest versions of these files whether I'm working on my computer or my mobile device.

The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices. Additionally, the secure storage space serves as the second key benefit. The robust security measures implemented are crucial in ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of my files, making it my third essential feature.

There is a potential improvement regarding storage capacity and offering more than its current four gigabytes.

I have been using it for twelve years.

I would rate its stability capabilities nine out of ten.

While it is scalable, there are limitations, particularly with the free personal use option. Beyond that, there are four basic packages catering to different user numbers and storage sizes. For instance, if someone doesn't need two terabytes and a lower-priced one terabyte option would suffice, the available options may feel somewhat limited.

I've never needed to contact technical support. I've been able to handle any issues by reaching out to the technical support of the specific productivity tool in use.

The initial setup was straightforward and user-friendly.

The process was remarkably straightforward once I downloaded and initiated the installation on my laptop and phone. I reinstall my computer every two years, and setting it up again during this process is effortlessly simple. All it requires is entering my email address, and responding to a second-factor authorization, possibly through SMS, and the installation is completed seamlessly.

While the pricing is comparable, especially for users of Microsoft Office 365, the value proposition might not be as competitive for those seeking primarily storage options. I currently pay ten euros per month, totaling one hundred and twenty euros annually. This subscription provides me with two terabytes of storage.

My recommendation is to categorize the information based on access frequency, update frequency, and the number of users. Developing an individualized strategy and combining two or three solutions, such as OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive, can result in an optimal mix for various needs. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.
