Dropbox Reviews & Product Details

Dropbox Basic is a free single user offering from Dropbox, Inc. with 2gb of data storage. This service comes with application support for Windows, Mac and Linux PCs as well as mobile devices running IOS, Android, and Windows. This basic version limits you to 3 devices signed in at a time, but you can always access all you files from most modern web browsers as well. The single sign on feature that allows you to link a Google or Apple account to Dropbox Basic means you don't even have to remember another set of credentials.

The biggest shortcoming I have encountered in the free version is its limit of 3 supported devices for store and sync, and this is heavily mitigated by an excellent web platform. The limit of 2 GB constrains it's usage a bit, as well as the fact that with the Basic free service all files all stored locally on all platforms that have the native Dropbox app installed.

Dropbox Plus mitigates all three issues by allowing you to sync across unlimited devices, free up hard disk space, and increases storage Capacity to 2 TB (2,000 GB) as well as enable 30-day account recovery for $9.99 at the time of this writing 1/15/21

Dropbox is a fantastic platform for cloud storage, its ability to process large amounts of files is amazing. One of the things that I like the most about Dropbox is its shared folder functionality that allows all files to be stored and that this folder is visible to the entire work team, this is a great feature as it makes sharing easier of files with my work colleagues.

One of the things I don't like about Dropbox is its mobile app. I have always had the application installed on my Android device, however, when I have not updated the application to the latest version, the App requires me to do so, otherwise it does not let me enter the cloud where my files are stored. This limits me a lot, since sometimes I cannot update the app, and this should not prevent my access to the Dropbox cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of usage and content sharing in the platform.

Notifications Area.

Versioning features.

Ability to snooze notifications when not needed.

Dropbox paper to instantly jot down points.

The desktop and mobile app.

Several third-party integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very minimal free storage capacity.

Should come up with some educational plans or offer free storage capabilities for students.

The interface could be improved by having a walkthrough of dropbox icons and what each icon means.

Had some issues with syncing high-level geospatial data formats. Could improve on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is that Dropbox can be used from anywhere and provides fast uploading through both mobiles and computers. It can be used on browser as well for convenience. It offers up to 2GB space for free which can be upgraded to 1TB or more at affordable costs. Files that you upload can be made to be accessible by people you give permissions to or made private to only you. This makes Dropbox not only an excellent platform for storage but also sharing files and transferring files with anyone. For quicker means of uploading, Dropbox allows you to simply drag and drop the files on to the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I'm quite happy with the services offered by Dropbox and I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy that you are able to save all of your documents in one place. Beforehand I really did not at all know what to do with the chaos I have had on my computer with all my notes, documents, pictures. But now everything is organized in one place and a big plus is now actually you cann integrate it on your laptop in your documents folder which is a true win for everyone. Plus you can refer friends easily and then you simply get free GB to save even more stuff. Even if you need to extend your plan you can buy very very cheap additionnal space on your account. I belive it is like 1 dollar just to get like 20x more space to save. Dropbox is so good to share documents as well. Like your friends do not even have to have an account with that service as they can simply only click on one link you send them to see your document or picture of file you want to share with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the app version for the iphone on dropbox. It is very confusing as it is so so hard to locate all of your files there and also the upload speed on the app on your phone is very slow. It does not synchronize fast with your laptop or even with your other devices so that is a pain actually. But it is not so bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's one place to store all the files together in a secure online environment. The UI is very easy to navigate and user friendly. The platform can be easily synced across all the devices. The app experience is great and I just love how Dropbox value their users. Dropbox makes sharing files/documents with team and clients easier. Also, their discover section with plenty of options to further integrate the product with other functionalities is simply awesome and is worth trying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's isn't any point which I dislike. The product is really very good. I just feel that in this age of 4G and 5G, when users are downloading stuff more than ever, Dropbox should think about increasing their storage limit in the Free plan. It would really help millions of people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox has an intuitive layout and it's very user friendly. It provides an easy way of uploading files as you can drag and drop. Files once uploaded can be easily shared through email or made accessible through a link which you can distribute to anyone. It has strong layers of safety for your files so unwanted people cannot gain access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not possible to directly upload folders and instead folders need to be created manually on Dropbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As soon as I joined the organisation, I had to submit lot of reports and I came across this must have app Dropbox. Create folder, save your reports and share it easily. You can organise your work daywise, workwise or bosswise. You can share it publicly and privately if you don't want else to edit it.

You can also save your work locally and sync it with desktop version of Dropbox and it will automatically upload the file for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing such as negative point. Although 2GB is the free storage you can use and have to pay for extra space. I think they can give a little more space for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox is, to me, the best cloud storage platform available, and should be the gold standard for other platforms. But with that said, my reliance on it and its general utility to me has greatly diminished in recent years. It's expensive, the free storage limit is far too little, the limit on client installs/logins is heinous, and even if all that can be bought and remedied, it's still not HIPAA compliant, so I can't use it for work.

It takes too long to upload stuff (Android app), videos and pictures. Even short videos, take at least 1 day or a few hours. And it barely has good storage. The only thing that works is uploading sounds and or music. I use mp3 converter to upload sounds and music for my YouTube videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox is helpful to collaborate with group tasks and exchanging document with colleagues which allows me to monitor what others are modifying or updating to the document .My paper are always sync with my office computer and my laptop, so I can begin working all the time without any complications. Dropbox has a very quick uploading speed and transfer time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really do not like the free storage and you have to buy the subscription to have more space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox provides good online storage facilities. You can add files to it from phone, tablet, or computer. Although it can be used through web browsers, it has a dedicated desktop application through which you can drag and drop the files you want to upload. Dropbox works just like your hard disk as you can create folders and upload or move files to any specific folder you want for ease of access and to organize your storage better. The best part is that you can use Dropbox from anywhere as long as you have a stable internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The space available is quite limited for Dropbox Basic. Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive offer 5GB and 15GB respectively for free while Dropbox only offers 2GB. Additionally, a lot of files cannot be viewed directly on Dropbox and need to be downloaded first, so this can be a bit of a hassle when you want to look for a particular data in a file out of many within a folder.

Being able to access all my files from anywhere including multiple pcs. Only problem is critical data files that will not work with local applications. For example Solidworks just plain fails when using synchronized data files. Result is a whole separate set of files must be manually updated and distributed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of support when a critical failure occurs. They only have email support and they have little insight into complex problems. They had me do a reinstall three times for the same problem. Problem is still there. It has now been 4 weeks with no resolution in sight. It has crippled parts of my business and the only thing I can do is move all the files myself and close Drobox down.

I think dropbox is super helpful when sharing files with different coworkers. I also like the fact that we are able to move different invoices to different people in the company with no issue. I also really like the fact that we are able to create and share new folders in dropbox as well. We are able to divid up the different folders based on the information we need to hold in our dropbox. We have all reports from old employees to new ones as well. Another added bonus, is that we are able to share audio files as well. This acts as a major tool for our training, as we use the audio files to help train all new employees. The information storing potential is endless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I do not like about dropbox is the fact that the pages always save as a google form rather than as a microsoft word form. IT makes uploading the documents to your computer just a little annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
