It allows me to share any files among machines without any careness. Additionally, when I need to share files with others, just sending URI generated by Dropbox is all what to do.

There is no good way to resolve conflicts automatically when multiple people work on the same file.

It allows us to share important files with others.

You can keep your files safe and readily accessible. It's very easy to update also.

I can't think of many downsides, besides perhaps that it doesn't seem to work as seamlessly with iPad

I need access to a large number of files at a moment's notice and Dropbox is unbeatable for that.

Having workspace across several computers is possible without hassle. I can share files and videos with many people. File sharing URL is generated smoothly by one click. Files accidently deleted remain can be recovered within a month. Online-only feature saves space and priority sync saves time. I like the feature of selective sync. There are many other features of Dropbox which have merits. In the end there is professional support by Dropbox team which helps makes life a little stress free.

I cannot purchase a plan for multiple years ( example, say 5 years plan upfront with one time payment). The plans are only annual plans. I wish there was a smart feature which could check and delete duplicate files, when required. The search feature is basic, but a smart search feature could be really useful. A feature to shorten long URLs of shared files and resources is missing. I have to use third party services for that. Long URLs look messy and unprofessional in emails. An online virus checker is missing. Particularly zip files are uploaded as is. Since the price of storage devices are decreasing rapidly, Dropbox price should drop a bit, or some discount ca be offered to long term users.

Helps students and other teachers to share and use contents. Online video viewing is possible. Files are shared rapidly in real time.

Have used a few clouds to share information with friends and others. However, dropbox is the one which can easily share across different platform such as Windows, Android and iOS. I am an non iOS user, i found that Dropbox is the most convenient platform to share across from my Android mobile or Windows PC to iOS mobile or computers.

Not all friends use dropbox and a lot are not comfortable with the limited free space allocation.

Some counterparts are not using Dropbox.

I have been using Dropbox and Google Drive on a daily basis almost simultanously for the past 10+ years. Dropbox always gives me a smoother experience when I switch among different computers. Also, there are typically very few errors in data synchronization/indexing. All these have been crucial when I use Dropbox to deal with critical data. Data sharing is also a major attraction of Dropbox, very easy to implement.

To be honest, the price is slightly higher, compared to other competitors. But it is definitely worth it.

Ease of sharing documents. This is great in all sorts of collaborations.

It is very convenient and productive to store documents and is able to retrieve them easily too

The free storage space and the purchased space could be larger.

Easily retrieve and organize with folders

I travel a lot, and all my travel documents are safely at hands anytime.

I also shared travel documents on a daily basis, knowing that i can finely tune access permissions.

On regular folders, i never worry.

Some folders can be filled with many small files which gets dropbox in a not so cool state, for that particular machine. the other devices are fine.

Its like code repository for documents without the hassle.

Fast file sharing and collaboration, camera uploads.

Encounter issues with large file counts.

Access files from anywhere

Fast and reliable syncing; quite intituitive: easy to implement, and easy to use. I am using it on differnt platforms, and no issue to sync).

None, though I am paying for 2 TB -- it may not be the cheapest option.

Limited storage on differnt devices; sharing files with others.

Transfer function and share link functions are good channels to share files with collaborators.

Some software, like Inkscape, can't save files directly in DropBox folder with pausing the synchronization.

share the files efficiently.
