"Increasingly reliable and feature rich"

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox started off as a synchronized storage solution for me. But increasingly, it has become somewhat of a Swiss Army Knife.

Sharing file links is relatively easy. And Dropbox is adding new features...finally...such as its own version of Frame.io for video production quality control.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

I miss being able to right click on files and folders to do things with them, such as move, copy, delete, share and rename. This used to be a thing, put a couple of years ago, they got rid of that functionality, instead opting for clicking on three little dots that bring up a menu with various actions.

Additionally, Dropbox has launched a file sharing feature, similar to WeTransfer. But it's slow and not as smooth. In fact, file uploads via the Dropbox web interface and desktop app are usually slow, even on gigabit connections. And they're generally not reliable, regardless of computer, browser or upload location. Half the time I return to find the upload had failed for some unknown reason.

Recommendations to others considering Dropbox:

Consider this if you're looking for a synchronized cloud storage system that is also a whole ecosystem in the making. Dropbox is adding news features all the time.

Consider whether Dropbox offers the encryption you need.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dropbox makes file sharing and collaboration within business units much easier. Email is such a thing of the past. It is a surefire way to lose things.

Dropbox solves that, because everyone knows where to look. No more hunting around decentralized file systems.

"Effortless File Management for remote work"

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox has revolutionized my work file management and sharing. It simplifies collaboration, making it incredibly easy to share and organize files. The user-friendly interface and seamless syncing across devices enhance productivity. Dropbox is my go-to solution for efficient and stress-free file management in a professional setting, whether at the office or on the go.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Sometimes it gets disconnected from my computer and I have to manually login.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the remote work environment with my clients and hundreds of documents I share every month, it streamlines collaboration by providing a centralized platform accessible from anywhere.

This benefits me by enhancing efficiency, reducing communication barriers, and ensuring that my work files are consistently updated and available across devices. Dropbox significantly improves teamwork and productivity in my professional endeavors.

"Make Organizing & Sending Files Easy"

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox makes it simple to organize, send, and manage massive amounts of files.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Honestly, for the purposes of my use with Dropbox, I have no dislikes. Happy customer :)

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sending massive files can be a pain. I have multiple clients with huge file sizes that are required to build out additional creative assets. Dropbox makes it simple to retreive them, and I couldn't be happier.

"Best software to organize all your files and projects in one place"

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox is an excellent cloud platform for storing, organizing, and collaborating. Thanks to Dropbox's all-device support, you can store files for as long as you want, which you can upload from any device. Dropbox allows file-sharing in two ways: email and URL. You can take control of your storage and organize your files to find anything at will using folders quickly. Folders as a whole can also be shared, which you can download as a compressed file. You can request files, where you can enter the user's email, and they'll be able to send you the file directly via Dropbox. Dropbox also allows you to view files of any type. You can preview images, play videos, and view the data inside text files, spreadsheets, documents, etc. You can also edit the spreadsheets using Excel for Web. If you've made your folders viewable for other users, they can join you in editing the files in those folders, or you can invite them to edit individual files. If you have Dropbox installed on your portable devices, you can view your files offline. When you open a file for the first time, Dropbox on mobile phones automatically downloads the data for them so you can open them quickly the next time. The same feature allows downloading files without an internet connection if you've already viewed them. This feature is handy when your internet connection is limited or intermittent.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Other than getting only 2GB for file storage, I don't dislike anything about Dropbox or its features.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since we work remotely, we were initially limited in file sharing and collaborating. Dropbox solved these problems as it's a free-to-use platform with multiple features to make it convenient for cloud computing and project collaboration. It also systematically backs up important information, so there's always a secondary copy if the primary one is lost or changed beyond repair. We can use Dropbox anywhere, which is a massive plus as our files are available to us everywhere. It has also lessened the need to store documents, sheets, and code files on a local device since they're very lightweight. We keep them on Dropbox, allowing everyone to edit the files to implement the necessary changes. With Dropbox's support for Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, etc., we can easily create new files from scratch and work on them in collaboration.

"Dropbox is just intuitive and super reliable"

What do you like best about Dropbox?

The desktop interface and the speed of transfer during upload and download

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Nothing that I can think of as of now. Dropbox has all what you need to organize and tranfer big and small files

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we require creative assets in the form of images and videos for our marketing campaigns, Dropbox provides a platform that integrates with Windows and makes it easy to get what you need during building the campaigns as it syncs automatically when the creatives upload the assets.

"Dropbox is excellent for teams and projects"

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox is an excellent software to share files easily for my colleagues and me. It's quick and effective, making sharing files seamless as we can upload and send them in no time. We can upload multiple files simultaneously, saving time as a result. We can keep track of all the uploads and reupload if they fail due to a connection error. Dropbox makes file sharing simpler as we can copy and paste the URL to anyone and allow them to download the file. We can also use their email as a medium of transferring files. Dropbox offers methods to organize your file to your liking. You can create folders and sort them in any manner of your convenience so that you can find any file you're looking for quickly. Unlike Microsoft OneDrive, the files you upload do not get deleted for any period of inactivity. So, you can upload your files to Dropbox and have them on the cloud for months and years for backup and storage. I like that Dropbox has support for more than just Windows. I can use it on my android and iOS phones for uploading or receiving files from others. Due to its cross-platform support, Dropbox is also an effective and secure program for transferring confidential or essential files to my computer and back.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Dropbox, being a standalone software, has limited features compared to Google Drive, which has more depth and tools for group work and collaboration on docs and sheets.

Recommendations to others considering Dropbox:

Dropbox has been an excellent problem-solving tool for file transfer. It's straightforward and intuitive with a user-friendly UI, making it easier to upload and share files. It's effective for group work and documentation editing, which has been beneficial to my colleagues and me. I've been using it for many years, and I can guarantee that it's worth using for more productivity and saving time.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dropbox is my go-to program for sending files to my colleagues. I've been using it for many years for storing files and sharing them quickly due to its instant uploads and secure URLs. But due to the global pandemic, I've been an avid user of Dropbox for many of its features. My colleagues and I use it for uploading files and sharing, which is our primary purpose as we're working at home due to social distancing rules. We have common storage in shared folders, where we can upload files that everyone can access without sending invitations multiple times. We have viewing and editing access for all the members who can view these folders, making it easier for us to work on the cloud for writing code. Dropbox is a much more effective version of GitHub as we can not only collaborate and edit code but also share them without any hassle. We can use Dropbox Paper, Word Document, and Google Docs to create and edit documents on Dropbox. For spreadsheets, we can use the Excel Workbook or Google Sheets. Dropbox also allows us to create presentations seamlessly through PowerPoint and Google Slides. We can also create a blank Dropbox Paper Template and work on it collaboratively for any use.
