Cubby (Discontinued)Dropbox
Considered Both Products
Cubby (Discontinued)
Chose Cubby (Discontinued)
I think Cubby is very comparable with all the others such as Drop Box, OneDrive, Box, and Google Drive. They all do similar things. But, I am not aware that the others will let you secure a document that is particularly sensitive in nature.
Chose Cubby (Discontinued)
Cubby is especially new in the market and is contemplating its business focus. They have adapted what their predecessors have created and implemented significant improvements in safety, performance and availability.
Dropbox
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox offers a simpler, fast and reliable file synchronization.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox makes it easier to share files with clients outside my organization.
Chose Dropbox
Google Drive is slower and less reliably syncs. But it is excellent as a collaboration tool and permissions are incredibly easy to resolve. If we need to work in the cloud on written, sheet, or presentation documents, my preference is on Google Drive and their ecosystem.

Chose Dropbox
Dropbox and OneDrive share many similar features. OneDrive excels in integration with other Microsoft products, but this can make the platform feel clunkier and more unwieldly. Dropbox excels in providing a suite of simple, easy to use tools that get the job done. The platform …
Chose Dropbox
This platform is easy to use and is a reliable source for data storage .
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is much better for file reliability, large asset management, and creative team workflows. It's definitely more reliable for file syncing (especially large files)
Chose Dropbox
All of these product offer reliable cloud storage and file sharing capabilities but Dropbox is easy to use,fast file synchronization and smooth user experience.Team members were able to adopt it quickly with minimal training. Compared to other products it provide more …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox does everything the others do that we need, and is fast, trouble-free, and offers document signing.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox has similar characteristics as Microsoft SharePoint. Both have the ability to share files and access them from multiple devices. Both offer upgrades to higher levels of storage capacity. I tend to use Dropbox more for personal files or ones that I want to share outside …
Chose Dropbox
We looked at several solutions for file sharing and found Dropbox to have the most options and functions that we require.
Chose Dropbox
I can work on InDesign need to download them
Chose Dropbox
Regarding the core syncing experience on macOS, Dropbox has been rock-solid and the best among the ones I listed here. Also, it provides a native Linux client, which makes it more cross-platform. I do still use iCloud and Google Drive for other purposes. But for the main file …
Chose Dropbox
The other platform has too many limitations on the storage end, and since I was already a client of Dropbox, it was easier to stay with the same platform.
Chose Dropbox
easier and what we need is all in one place
Chose Dropbox
Hate to be a broken record but it all goes back to ease of use and doing business. OneDrive and iCloud have extra steps to give access and it becomes cumbersome
Chose Dropbox
Years ago I used Flickrr to share my photos. Dropbox was easier to use 13 years ago and I've been very satisfied ever since.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox has the best value to feature ratio- and is so much more responsive and reliable than Google Drive- it is almost unusable for storing large media files especially folders of files!
Chose Dropbox
I find that Dropbox works best for me, because I'm able to simply visit a website, drop off my files, and create a shareable link. Everything in Dropbox is more organised and quicker than the other products I've used - at least, in my experience.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox ergonomy is better & makes it easy to navigate in the app
Chose Dropbox
We still use both, but we use Dropbox more for media files (photos, videos, photoshop files etc.) due to it's enhanced searching, organization and visual layout.
Chose Dropbox
I prefer Dropbox due to the amount of features available as well as the esthetic of the platform. It just feels more premium & capable than some of it's competitors. It also is able to organize a lot easier. I have found the mobile usability to be far superior than some other …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is more well-rounded as far as capabilities. The other is geared more towards documents.

For the business public, solutions like One Drive may seem somewhat complex and solutions such as Dropbox or Google Drive may be too basic. Cubby gives you that balance sought by small and medium enterprises.

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

  • Ensures documents are up to date, even with multiple users accessing the same documents.

Cons
  • Since we are already a LogMeIn Rescue customer we are a fan of their products. We really do not see a lot that Cubby does not do for us that we need to do.
  • It would be nice to have a built-in password manager/keeper to share using the Cubby cloud storage. Users can share files in a secure manner, so why not be able to share passwords with them securely as well.

  • I’d like to be able to hover over an image/document and have it expand/enlarge without actually opening it
  • I’d love to see a carousel that lets me thumb through more quickly
  • I’m almost always in thumbnail view. I’d like to see them re-organize automatically when something is moved or deleted instead of leaving an empty space.
  • AI options for photo editing.
  • Easier pdf markups

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.

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.

Performance

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.

The LogMeIn company has always been very helpful and quick to respond to all of our support requests and just "how to" question we may have.
Read full review
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.

I did not personally take any training for Dropbox so I am self taught but I know when our Vice President selected Dropbox, he personally did do some training modules on it and I'm assuming it was very easy and simple to understand since he now acts like he is a pro at it!
