Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox
We use Dropbox on our everyday work as a virtual/digital server for remote studio work. We work as a remote/home-office studio since 2018 and since then we always use a cloud service as main method to exchange files with users and external clients, Dropbox is a good solution for this due to the efficient files management that it has.
- File Syncing
- Notification center
- Sharing files and folder with good permission options
- Change the name of the root folder, the "()" can cause problems sometimes with some tools trying to find paths inside of the root folder.
- The upload queue becomes slow trying to upload files that have more than ~500mb of file size, even if I have 1 Gbit of speed, Dropbox gets stuck uploading single files with that rule.
- Sometimes we can't move a shared folder from root location.
- LAN sync seems not to be working in my experience.
- A negative impact was the change on the business plans where now Dropbox doesn't offer "unlimited" space, forcing us to buy a lot of physical hard drivers to move part of the storage outside of Dropbox.
- A positive is that we are always "online", if one of our machines is damaged, everything is online in Dropbox
- In the beginning, we were saving money on hard drives thanks to Dropbox but as I mentioned in the first point, this is no longer the case
Suddenly Google Drive increased its prices on a similar range to Dropbox.
Google Drive has some inconvenient limitations for the kind of usage that we expect from a cloud service, for example, it allows only a per day sync limit of 750K of files, and sometimes we need to sync more files in one day
