Dropbox Reviews

I use Dropbox mostly for collaboration. If I want to share a document that needs to be edited by my team, I use Dropbox.

What I like most about Dropbox is that it's very, very easy to use. It's also easy to share files through it.

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've been using Dropbox for more than five years.

Dropbox is a pretty stable solution, particularly because it is cloud-based.

Dropbox is a scalable solution. Its scalability is based on the plan guide or on the plan that you use.

I used Office 365, and I chose Dropbox because it's more simple, especially for private or personal use.

Because it is on the cloud, no installation is required for you to use Dropbox.

I don't have information on Dropbox licensing costs.

I evaluated Office 365.

I use Dropbox personally and not for work.

I would recommend Dropbox to other people who want to start using it because it's a very, very simple solution.

My rating for Dropbox is eight out of ten.

Compared to others, it's much, much better. I can track my work on this. It also supports multiple users. I prefer the useability over other brands and solutions. 

There's no installation required.

It's a very stable solution. 

We haven't had any issues at all with the solution. 

While it can scale, there's too much difference between plans. We'd prefer it if it had a few other plan options that weren't so big in terms of differences. We'd like more flexible subscription plans. 

I cannot edit a document at the same time as another user.

I've been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good. 

There is scalability. However, the subscription plans jump too much from one plan to another. There's a very big difference between the two plans.

Five people are using the solution right now in my company.

We do not have plans to increase usage. 

I've never had any issues and therefore have never reached out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

We did previously use One Drive and Google Drive and other similar solutions. We prefer this solution as it allows for multiple users whereas the others do not. 

As it is cloud-based, you do not need to install anything. 

We did witness an ROI after three months. 

I'm not sure about the cost of the solution. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

I only use the solution for personal use, on my mobile and computers. I use it exclusively for my file storage needs and do so on a personal, not organizational, basis. 

The solution obviates the need to store any extra sets of files or to do so on my physical device. I can use the cloud version for storage and easy retrieval. 

The solution allows one only a certain amount of free storage, but he must pay for a subscription, perhaps on a six-month basis, if he wishes to maintain this. While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space. 

While I cannot say for certain exactly how long I have been using Dropbox, I know it has been a long time. 

I am not in a position to comment on the scalability. 

I have no intention of increasing my usage. I am happy with what I am using right now. 

I have not contacted Dropbox or Android technical support. 

As the solution is cloud-based, there is no installation involved. 

The solution allows one only a certain amount of free storage, but he must pay for a subscription, perhaps on a six-month basis, if he wishes to maintain this. While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space.

I cannot comment on the performance, as I have not contemplated this, the solution being for personal use only. When I will no longer be in need of the solution, I will stop making use of it. 

I do not work on the actual software, but am just an end user. 

I do not have any specific advice for one who is contemplating using the solution. Each person must choose for himself if he wishes to use it. This said, I would recommend the solution for file storage needs. 

I rate Dropbox as a nine out of ten. 

We use Dropbox for our files when we finish our projects. For example, once we've done a forming project, we then upload the material. We do a first assembly cut on the material, and then we upload the content to Dropbox.

The final videos and productions that we use, all go into a Vimeo account that we have.

We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content.

I have been using Dropbox for approximately three years.

Dropbox is a stable solution.

The only challenge we have is the bandwidth that we have because the stability comes down to the broadband that we're using. We don't have fiber-deployed across the UK. The copper bandwidth speed limitations are what we have.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

We have the producer, director, editor, and our customer base using the solution. We share the files and they only take a look at the files.  They're not doing any editing or modifications.

We had some issues closing accounts with the administration support.

We use Vimeo and Dropbox both in parallel, and we have standalone disc arrays that we use for storage and backup.

The implementation is straightforward and we access Dropbox by using a login, whoever needs to access it can use the login.

We were using Dropbox previously. It was simple to set up the directories and the file-sharing capabilities we needed to use and the different levels of access to some of our stakeholders, customers, and editors.

We did the implementation ourselves.

The solution is meeting our business requirements, but I haven't done a total cost of ownership. What I'd have to do to answer if I have had an ROI properly is to deploy our own storage system and then set up the backup for it locally, in a private cloud environment locally in a data center, and find out what it would cost us to operate. We would probably need an admin in place as well to manage all of it and determine the cost of power, hardware, software, versus what we are paying on a subscription basis for that whole service Dropbox account. I have not done this to determine the cost return.

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.

They can't cancel the license and transfer the data over to the new business account easily. There seem to be some complexities involved.

We pay annually to use the solution and the price is approximately £600.

We are using the five terabyte option of the solution.

My advice to others would be to keep the deployment simple, and the solution is simple to scale. Put a solution in place that meets your requirements. If it's a new business, put in place what the business is requiring, and if you do need to scale out and increase costs, then it's straightforward to do, it's quite an easy platform to use. They have a few good options available and don't oversubscribe to capacity that you're not going to use.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Dropbox is reliable, and I've never reached the storage limits.

The interface could have bigger buttons.

I've been using Dropbox for the last couple of years.

Dropbox is stable enough to use. It's fine.

Dropbox is a cloud storage solution, so there's not a whole lot to set up.

I rate Dropbox seven out of 10. 

We use Dropbox to store our documents.

The performance is good.

It is easy to use, very user-friendly.

They provide a generous amount of space.

Google Docs and Dropbox provide the same level of satisfaction as Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

The security is very good.

It is adequate for my needs, as well as those of the average person.

When you consider a private cloud for improved security, there will be fees, and the process will become more complicated.

If someone manages a large amount of data, they will need more storage, which they must purchase.

I have been using Dropbox for two years.

Dropbox is reliable.

It belongs to me, and I use it. If I want to share a document with someone, I give them access and then remove the rights after a set period of time.

I have also used Google Docs.

If you implement Google Docs, the Google directory is very intuitive.

I received assistance from Google. They are always available and quick to respond.

I would rate them a ten out of ten.

There is no installation because this is a cloud-based solution.

You can easily implement it yourself.

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 don't pay any licensing fees.

I would recommend this solution to those who are not worried about their document being on a public cloud. It can be used by anyone; it is quite secure.

My scale is very small. I don't have many security requirements. I am at ease with the documents that I have saved.

This solution does its job well.

I would rate Dropbox a ten out of ten.

I use it for anything from backups to storing information.

I like that Dropbox has a simple interface and that it's pretty straightforward.

It could be more secure.

I've been using Dropbox for more than five years.

I would recommend Dropbox and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

Dropbox can be useful for one's organization and personal usage.

We employ it for personal use. 

The solution could be better integrated with other platforms. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I have not had occasion to contact technical support. 

As the solution is cloud-based, installation is easy. 

I cannot speak with certainty about the price. The solution does not come with a licensing cost. 

We used Google prior to making use of the solution. We felt Dropbox to be an appropriate alternative. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Dropbox as an eight out of ten.
