Considered Both Products
Adobe Premiere Pro
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Product not included: Avid Media Composer. I've used Premiere, FCPX, and Avid (not bothering to include iMovie as it is not necessarily considered a "professional" product), but have most experience with Premiere. There's a laughable debate between Premiere and FCPX (Avid still …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
I like Adobe Premiere Pro better because of the option to use a Mac or a PC. I grew up using a PC, so even when I have a Mac at my disposal I like the option to swap whenever I feel like it. Plus, to my knowledge, you cannot rent Final Cut Pro, making it the more expensive …
Dropbox
Chose Dropbox
Never have paid for the additional iCloud storage, I have always been a Dropbox user. I like the pricing, I like the storage, I like the ease of use. Dropbox is accepted and used by all my clients and colleagues. I don't plan on exploring other options as I'm become very …
Chose Dropbox
I've never paid for Google Drive, but I can tell you it's so much easier to collaborate with others and share files. That is one of the main things that i feel like has been helpful to be and is something that I would recommend others in the content creating industry use as it …
Chose Dropbox
It is comparable, but the reason I selected Google Drive is because 1. it feels more professional, and 2. I wanted something that was really good bang for my buck, and I feel like Dropbox is much better value for the money I am spending on it, versus Google Drive.
Chose Dropbox
Because I use several products that are not listed, I find that Dropbox works cross functionally regardless of the product I am using to process.
Chose Dropbox
While Google Drive is a viable option, especially if your team is already using the Google suite of products, it feels more like a "cloud dump," rather than a system that you can truly operate within. Dropbox remains not only an effective storage solution, but also offers the …
Chose Dropbox
One Drive has conflicts, creates folders you can not delete, and is terrible for team collaboration. Google Drive is more of a personal storage option than an option for a team or for sharing files with your client.
Chose Dropbox
Superior. It has the best of each of these options.
Chose Dropbox
Google is close the syncing doesn't compare. iCloud is nice but not as easy to share files
Chose Dropbox
Many of the tested platforms are very usable, however for our specific use case of large files, all of them were left wanting. Upload or download speeds were often slow, available file space was low for the subscription tier, or simply getting a successful upload or download …
Chose Dropbox
No expiration on transfers is one of my strongest arguments FOR Dropbox
Chose Dropbox
I think Dropbox is a lot more professional and has a better name brand for security
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is more secure in my mind than Google Drive, but doesn't have built in word processing or computing, like with Google Docs or Sheets.

Adobe Acrobat Sign is what I use when the client is older -- its so easy to navigate and it walks the client right through where they're …
Chose Dropbox
I choose Dropbox for it's reasonable pricing relative to the amount of storage I have.
Chose Dropbox
There is more storage available and it seems to be easier to navigate than Google Drive.
Chose Dropbox
For Documents and file Dropbox just works we rely on Creative cloud for 4k video
Chose Dropbox
iDrive and Sync don't remove files from your local storage once they've been unsynced, so it's less clear which files are available and which aren't. Plus Dropbox now selectively offloads files when they haven't been used in a while, so it's managing your storage usage for you …
Chose Dropbox
don't know any others besides Box.
Chose Dropbox
SharePoint was where our engineering team looked for service in the cloud however we quickly moved to Dropbox when we evaluated costs for the amount of storage we needed.
Chose Dropbox
I prefer Dropbox because it’s easier to manage lots of different folders, the versions of files names the same thing update automatically and the interface is easier to understand
Chose Dropbox
I like Dropbox better as you can preview the files right on the web before needing to download them to your computer. It is also more of a collaborative space than WeTransfer is.
Chose Dropbox
Google doesn’t integrate as well/display files as well via browser. iCloud is the worst and deletes files randomly, just about the only thing it does well is photo sync but even then I recently lost all my photos taken before 2014. Only reason I still have them is because of …
Chose Dropbox
Storage is greater with higher quality with Dropbox

I have actually recommended Adobe Premiere Pro to many people looking to get into the editing field. It is perfect for any type of video creation. It would not be very useful for someone who isn't serious about video editing and wants to just use something to cut out the beginning or ends of clips. It's too advanced for that and [maybe] confusing for someone not educated in the field.

Dropbox is well suited for sending File Requests to clients to upload documents, and for me to send File Transfers to clients with documents for them to download. I can create separate files for each client, and also create files within files, which is very convenient and useful for my business purposes. In Dropbox I can also see all of the File Requests that I have sent and it shows me how many times they've accessed it and how many files they uploaded. I can also see all of the File Transfers that I have made and whether how many times the client has accessed it and how many documents were downloaded. It also sends me notifications if the clients haven't downloaded their files yet so I can remind them. Dropbox Sign has been very easy to use, and I have already stated what could be changed with it

  • I can share projects I need feedback on.
  • I can make projects available to editors so that they can do their work.
  • Dropbox is a place where I can store files that I can access from anywhere, even if I don't have my laptop with me at the time.
  • I have an old friend who is an acting professor in Tokyo. He loves the dialogue that I write in my novels. He converts chapters into scenework for his acting students. They get very excited when there's new material!

Cons
Adobe
  • Export times: I do a massive amount of exports with intensive graphics. They often need to be done quickly. If export times could be reduced by 90%, my life would improve drastically.
  • Importing errors: Certain video formats are not compatible, such as specific types of MP4s and MKV files. Greater flexibility would be wonderful.
  • End the subscription model. I'd gladly pay one flat fee once and be done with it.

There is not better program for your needs than Adobe Premiere Pro. It doesn't matter if it can be hard to learn because this product is the top of the line and you will not find a better video editing program. This is what the professionals use. It is worth the learning curve.

Dropbox is a user-friendly, easy tool which requires little to no skill and they offer a free version with a good amount of storage available. There are other file sharing tools available however at a cost. Dropbox free version I have used for years and it serves every purpose I need.

Usability
Adobe
Premiere Pro is a very powerful tool, but it's not intuitive - it's virtually impossible to use without some kind of training or instruction. That being said, once you've learned how to use the product so that you can take advantage of its various video editing and creation options, it's an incredible program in terms of features and tools.

It works extremely well, and we have never had any issues with connecting or sharing files. It's very easy to use, and any team member can share, add, and delete files to a virtual drive. This is extremely helpful, and it's an amazing tool to use, ensuring everyone can connect and work together effectively.

Dropbox is really useful, you can access any file from anywhere and you can upload and even edit files online, but, sometimes it can be slow. Downloading, uploading, and syncing is a bit slow, it can take several minutes. Furthermore, the search engine for large amounts of data can be slow too and it is not powerful.

It is a professional team that provides customer service at any time. I think that the team does not rest until they find a solution to your problem. I think this makes this company great because when a company offers a good service, and they treat you well, the customer always returns satisfied.

They immediately responded like in an example that I gave where one of our staff members accidentally deleted the whole Special Hope Network Dropbox, we immediately contacted Dropbox they walked us through the steps of how to retrieve the information and luckily enough we were able to retrieve the entire Dropbox and we have had back and forth with Dropbox on what to do when an employee leaves how to remove them how to add another employee.

Alternatives Considered

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful editing and color-grading application, and the base version is free. However, I've found that with the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere, I really have no need for Resolve as it meets all of my needs. Additionally, I've found Resolve to be lacking in support for the broad range of file types that Premiere handles gracefully.

I prefer the layout and visual aspect of Dropbox as it mirrors my files on my computer. I feel that I am more organized, and it's easier to find my files in Dropbox than it was with Google Drive.

Return on Investment
Adobe
  • Speed of workflow has increased- specially when coupled with keyboard shortcuts
  • Jobs have had a faster turnover rate which makes clients happy.
  • I have two Adobe accounts, one for work and one for personal use. Both of these accounts are paying for themselves through the work I can provide with the use of Premiere.

  • When it works (usually if a client already has Dropbox, so they don't get the solicitation to sign up), it works flawlessly.
  • I've had multiple clients not see the "continue with download only" at the bottom and email me to resend the media another way because they don't have a Dropbox account.
