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."
"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."
"Simple to share files with others."
"The most valuable feature of Dropbox is its user-friendliness. You can drag and drop files you want to store easily. Additionally, the speed of the solution is great if you have a fast connection."
"The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices."
"Dropbox offers 24-hour support, both through chat and limited hour calls."
"The Dropbox feature I like the most is being able to control the level of access I want to give to different people within my team."
"The various methods for accessing files, such as through mobile apps, online synchronization, and on a PC, are highly valuable."
"The performance is good and I am satisfied with the storage of this solution, but I would like to see more."
 

Cons

"Our clients need the flexibility to easily move from Atmos to AWS and GCP and then back from GCP to AWS to Atmos."
"Dropbox could improve by being more secure."
"File version control can be improved. It generates a lot of conflicts when people are working on the same file. Its integration with other solutions can be improved in terms of user experience. Integration is there, and it has connectors for Excel, Word, and other solutions, but it is not very friendly. There should be a better user experience."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to start Dropbox services and files are not synced."
"The security and privacy of this solution need improvement. I am always worried about security and privacy."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"The search could be made more intuitive."
"It could be more secure."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit. I would like to get it to the point where we could offer permission on one file to make one person see that one file only."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am using the free version of the solution."
"It has some free features, but for some of the features, you need to pay. If you need more storage, then you need to pay. Its licensing probably is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"The amount of free space they provide is sufficient for me. However, if you want more space I don't believe is very expensive."
"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is paid for annually."
