Flexible in deployment, scalable, and the technical support is good
The most valuable feature is the flexibility of deployment. There are different ways that this solution can be deployed. It can be on-premises, entirely cloud-based, or a hybrid model. Currently, the trend in India is a hybrid approach. Since people are using tools from different public cloud companies, we are helping customers to maintain integration between cloud and on-premises. Furthermore, you can take the appliance or you can just take the software for a virtual environment. This solution uses an object architecture, which means that we can manage a few terabytes of information and billions of objects in different locations through a single system. This is one of the most important things that we get from this product. The platform has support for traditional technologies such as NFS but it also supports newer technologies on the market.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is a scalable solution that can handle petabytes of information and millions of stored objects at multiple locations."
"The search functionality and the ability to preview images are quite good."
"One of the most useful features of Dropbox is its ease of use."
"Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits."
"It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features."
"Reliability is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The initial setup is extremely easy."
"The solution is very clear and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Our clients need the flexibility to easily move from Atmos to AWS and GCP and then back from GCP to AWS to Atmos."
"I find it a little hard to organize my Dropbox folders on my mobile device."
"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."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"Dropbox could be improved by reducing the storage price."
"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"For us, storage is an issue. The free version is too small in terms of the amount of storage on offer."
"The storage is not large enough."
"It is difficult to set up. I'd rate the solution maybe a six or seven out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free solution, which provides me with 2GBs of storage, and for me, it's sufficient."
"The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"I don't pay any licensing costs."
