"Easy File Syncing with a Clean Interface"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

How easy it makes file sharing and syncing across my laptop and phone. I use it daily to back up project folders and share design links with clients, and the mobile app is incredibly fast when I need to grab a file on the go. The UI is clean, and the automatic syncing works reliably without any lagging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Mobile app logs me out completely every couple of weeks, forcing me to type in my full password instead of just using Face ID. It can be a minor annoyance when I am in a rush between meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dropbox: Simple, Reliable Cloud Storage with Smooth Sync and Team Collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox is its simplicity and reliability. It makes storing, sharing, and accessing files from anywhere straightforward. Synchronization across devices is smooth, and features like file sharing, backup, and collaboration enhance productivity, especially when working with teams and managing important documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Over all very Good but ,Dropbox is that the free storage space is limited compared to some other cloud storage services. The pricing for higher storage plans can feel expensive, and sometimes managing large files or syncing many files can take time depending on the internet connection.

"Fast File Sharing and Seamless Device Sync"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

What I like best about Dropbox is its simple and reliable file synchronization across multiple devices. I use it regularly to store, organize, and share important documents, and the interface is intuitive enough that I can find and access files quickly without any learning curve.

The drag-and-drop upload feature and shared folder functionality have improved my workflow by making collaboration much easier. Instead of sending large email attachments, I can generate a secure share link and provide instant access to colleagues or clients. The automatic syncing ensures that I always have the latest version of my files on my desktop and mobile devices.

Another feature I appreciate is version history and file recovery, which has helped me restore previous versions of documents after accidental changes. The integrations with common productivity tools also make it convenient to work with files without constantly switching between applications.

From a performance standpoint, Dropbox has been stable and dependable, with fast synchronization and minimal downtime in my experience. While the premium plans may be expensive for users with large storage requirements, the time saved through efficient file management and collaboration provides good value.

Overall, Dropbox has made file storage, backup, and team collaboration more organized and efficient, helping me work more productively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

It might need to lower its pricing modeOne aspect I dislike about Dropbox is that the free storage space is limited, which means users with large files often need to upgrade to a paid plan. For individuals or small teams that work with high-resolution images, videos, or large project files, storage can fill up quickly.

Another limitation is that syncing very large folders can sometimes take longer depending on internet speed, especially when uploading many files at once. While the platform is generally reliable, faster upload management for large datasets would improve the experience.

I would also like to see more advanced collaboration and productivity features included in the standard plans, as some competing cloud storage services bundle additional tools at similar price points. Although Dropbox integrates well with other applications, having more built-in functionality could reduce the need for third-party services.

Overall, these issues have not prevented me from using Dropbox, but improvements in storage value and large-file handling would make the platform even better.

l for more storage plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Deeper Search Functionality, Needs Better Integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

I like Dropbox's deeper search functionality because it allows me to search for almost any type of file or folder I've saved. This advanced search capability makes it easy to find the exact file I'm looking for, unlike the search features on my mobile phone. I also appreciate how Dropbox saves my phone storage by letting me store data in the cloud, which helps me keep my mobile free of clutter. Additionally, my initial setup experience with Dropbox was great, and I was pleasantly surprised at how efficiently it could save all my files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

I don't like that Dropbox doesn't have a direct integration with Microsoft or Google. It would be great if they could tie up with mobile devices so that all the mobile data is automatically backed up to Dropbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Safe, Free Extra Storage with a Clean UI"
4/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

- It's the safest place to keep your videos/pictures and the fact that it provides more storage than a G-drive for free is even better

- UI is also very friendly and clean Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

For a photos/videos syncing platform, it now feels like it has integrated too many features that aren’t really relevant, and the overall experience comes across as overdone - things like AI tools and Notes, for example.

At the same time, it doesn’t offer many of the kinds of features that keep users coming back regularly, like Google Drive-style stories, insta-edits, memories, and similar options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Simple Platform for Team Collaboration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

What I like best about Dropbox is how simple and reliable the overall experience is. The UI is clean and easy to navigate, which makes file management and collaboration straightforward even for new users. Performance is generally smooth, with fast syncing across devices and minimal issues when sharing large files.

It also integrates well with common productivity tools, which helps teams work more efficiently without constantly switching platforms. Features like version history and file recovery are especially useful during collaborative projects.

From a business perspective, it offers good value by improving accessibility and reducing time spent managing documents manually. The onboarding process is fairly simple, and support resources are easy to access when needed. I also like that Dropbox has started adding AI-powered features that help with search and organisation, making file management more efficient over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

One thing I dislike about Dropbox is that storage pricing can become expensive as usage scales, especially for teams managing large volumes of files. While the platform is reliable, some advanced collaboration and admin features are locked behind higher-tier plans.

There are also occasional syncing delays or conflicts when multiple users edit files simultaneously, which can create confusion in fast-moving projects. The desktop app can sometimes feel resource-heavy, particularly on older systems.

Although the UI is clean overall, certain settings and permission controls could be more intuitive. Some integrations also require additional setup to work smoothly across workflows. The newer AI features are promising, but they still feel limited in comparison to more mature AI-powered productivity platforms. Overall, Dropbox works well for core file management, but there is room for improvement in pricing flexibility, collaboration depth, and advanced intelligence capabilities.

"Dropbox Makes File Sharing and Backup Effortless with great smooth interface"
4/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

Honestly, I really like how easy Dropbox makes everything. I’ve been using it for quite a while, and it’s one of those apps that just works without creating any extra hassle. Uploading, accessing, and sharing files is very straightforward, and it’s been especially useful for keeping important documents backed up and easy to reach across different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Sometimes syncing takes longer than I expect, especially with large folders or when my internet connection is unstable, and it can get confusing when duplicate or conflicted copies of files show up. I also feel like the free storage runs out pretty quickly, so keeping on top of space and managing what’s stored becomes a bit annoying over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dropbox is the best in the data and collaboration field!"
5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

As an early adopter of Dropbox, I've been using the software for over 15 years. I love the ease of use, the ability to share your files widely or securely, and the constant updates the company provides to stay competitive and be the best out there. I especially appreciate how seamlessly Dropbox integrates with my MacBook Pro and all of the file management software that I use. I also like that I can access it across multiple devices.

Dropbox is at the top of its game when it comes to performance. It has never let me down in terms of storage services and reliability. I also feel like, for the price, you get a significant amount of data storage as well as integrated resources like PDF support, editing capabilities, and document signature distribution.

One of the best things about Dropbox is the support you get whenever something goes wrong. I remember once deleting a file I thought I'd lost forever, and the Support staff really helped me recover it and saved the day. They're really accessible, and the online forum has tons of helpful onboarding and on-demand support documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Dropbox, as a software, is honestly one of my favorite companies. I don't have many complaints or dislikes about what they provide. I think it's more about how others perceive the company. If it were up to me, everyone would use Dropbox for file sharing and document collaboration. But I find that when I try to use Dropbox as my main collaboration tool, few people are familiar with it compared to competitors like Google Drive.

So internally, when I'm working with team members, it's fantastic, but anytime I try to organize with a client. I typically have to move to a platform. They're more familiar with, like, Teams or Google Drive because those are more likely to be the systems they're used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Reliable File Sharing with Seamless Syncing Across Devices"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

What I like most about Dropbox is its simplicity and reliability. It makes file storage and sharing incredibly easy, with seamless syncing across devices and intuitive collaboration features. It’s especially useful for working with teams, as it keeps everything organized and accessible in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

One downside of Dropbox is that the free storage is quite limited compared to some competitors, which can make it less practical for larger files or long-term use without upgrading. Additionally, pricing for higher storage tiers can feel relatively high, and advanced collaboration features aren’t as robust as some other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dropbox excellent cloud for storage, some things to improve"
4/5
What do you like best about Dropbox?

I really appreciated using DropBox, the first thing I liked a lot is the fact that it works like other clouds, meaning if you want more space beyond the 2GB they offer, you pay to get it but it doesn't ask for credit cards to store your files. Additionally, it's very convenient for storing files, you can insert Passkeys and recovery codes, it's very well-known and widely used in the hospital sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

What I liked least about Dropbox is the fact that when you upload very important files related to programs used by control units connected to the entire hospital, being formatted as logs (text files .txt, so they are only written when there are events), now Dropbox gives you an error with important files during the upload to the cloud with the error "Some uploads failed." Now, this has made me doubt the functionality of the cloud because if one of my backups, which is also synchronized, does not have every file it contains uploaded, it creates problems for me, which need to be resolved. Additionally, the PDF editing requires a 30-day trial version, and the banners telling you about the AI that appear while you're searching for files are very annoying.
