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

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"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."
"Availability of dedicated Apps on any kind of OS."
"For our purposes, we've been very happy with its overall capabilities."
"The scalability is great for us."
"The sharing aspect of the solution is its most valuable aspect; it's very easy to share files across devices and with colleagues."
"The performance has been good."
"Many people can use the Dropbox service and edit the data, it is simple to use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"I find it a little hard to organize my Dropbox folders on my mobile device."
"The only con to Dropbox is now there is a competitive platform, Google Drive, that offers users 5 GB of free storage and syncing capability with other Google services."
"I'd rate the scalability maybe a seven out of ten. Once I stop paying, it is an issue."
"Dropbox can improve by enhancing the capacity of storage in the free version."
"Dropbox needs to increase its storage."
"One area that has been a big issue for me is when I tried to close my accounts, it is difficult."
"If someone manages a large amount of data, they will need more storage, which they must purchase."
"It's an expensive solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
"There is a subscription-based pricing model and I pay monthly."
"The subscription could be cheaper."
"I am on a monthly subscription for the solution and I am somewhat satisfied with the pricing. However, the price could a bit better."
"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The solution is purchased on a subscription basis, and there are purchasing options. If you purchase annually there is a discount."
