Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing

I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere

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.

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

"One area of improvement would be to allow multiple users to edit a file simultaneously and see edits in real time, similar to OneDrive."

"The free storage can be increased."

"A room for improvement in Dropbox is document editing. It would be nice to have the functionality of editing the document with other people at the same time. This is something that can be done on Office 365, and it's a feature I'd like to see in the next release of Dropbox."

"I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing."

"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office 365 for more collaboration. At the present time, it is more focused on its own internal systems."

"Dropbox needs to increase its storage."

"They should archive the data."

"The tool must be better protected."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"Dropbox could be less expensive, and I pay monthly."

"The amount of free space they provide is sufficient for me. However, if you want more space I don't believe is very expensive."

"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."

"We must pay when we upsize to a larger space."

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

"The solution is paid for annually."

"I was using the free version of the product."

"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."
