    Useful for exchanging large scale documents and files
    Pros and Cons
    • "A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it."
    • "Dropbox could probably be improved around the integrated security, but those options are probably available. I don't have much of a view on improvements, based on the relatively few occasions that I use it."

    What is our primary use case?

    I generally use Dropbox for exchanging large scale documents or large files, and things of that nature. 

    Dropbox is a cloud-based solution. 

    What is most valuable?

    A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it. 

    What needs improvement?

    Dropbox could probably be improved around the integrated security, but those options are probably available. I don't have much of a view on improvements, based on the relatively few occasions that I use it. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using Dropbox sporadically for years, probably since it first came out. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Dropbox is stable, and I'm happy with it. As long as you've got things from a security point of view, it's fine. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    For my usage, it's scalable enough. 

    There is probably a relatively small number of Dropbox users in my organization because we use SharePoint and other solutions as well. 

    How are customer service and support?

    I have never contacted technical support. I would just ask my own technical people if I needed anything. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    In my organization, we also use SharePoint and other solutions. 

    How was the initial setup?

    There is no installation for something like Dropbox. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I don't pay for a license to use Dropbox. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten. I would recommend Dropbox to others. It's okay, and it's a private, mature solution, but I don't use it particularly as a business tool.

    Stable solution; Have not run into any delays
    Pros and Cons
    • "The main feature that I found the most valuable is the ability to link the documents such that they are automatically taken to a page where you can review them."
    • "Dropbox could introduce some sort of a notification with respect to how much storage you have left out of what is purchased."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use Dropbox both for storage and organizing. I'm not doing anything extravagant necessarily with it, but it is a product that works the way I would expect it to and I personally have not had any functionality issues with it.

    What is most valuable?

    The main feature that I found the most valuable is the ability to link the documents such that they are automatically taken to a page where you can review them.

    What needs improvement?

    Dropbox could introduce some sort of a notification with respect to how much storage you have left out of what is purchased. For example, I cannot tell you how much storage my company has purchased, nor do I know how much we are currently using. So that might be one thing that could be improved upon.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is a stable solution. I have not run into any delays or lags. 

    How was the initial setup?

    It is extremely easy and straightforward to set up.
