Before Deltek, we had just communicated around projects through Slack since it was free. It did work well for communication and you could share files, but it is not nearly as robust as Deltek Collaboration. It was not easy to look back and find necessary files, and the …

Dropbox Business is dependable, adaptable, and cost-effective for our businesses. On the inside, it’s comparable to other file-sharing and storage. Also, file access and navigation are much faster. We use it to share documents and store data and files for our business purposes. …

We actually use both Redtail CRM and Dropbox Business currently. Dropbox is better than Redtail from the standpoint that it allows easier organization and access to files and documents. The main benefit of Redtail is that it allows a great way to organize client information, …

Dropbox Business just works better across multiple platforms without taking up too many resources locally. I use iCloud for my personal stuff as well, but would never even think of using it across an entire organization. The access and navigation to documents is way easier in …

We did not evaluate other tools. Dropbox has been used within my organization for quite some time.

None of the above have all the functionality that Dropbox Business has.

Dropbox Business holds up against the other big boys like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. If you already use those platforms, it would probably make sense to use them. But many users already used Dropbox and were familiar with it. And if you don't already have a …

Microsoft Teams works well but doesn't save files well and sometimes pieces go missing. [In] Dropbox Business, you can work simultaneously and files don't get corrupted. It is more user-friendly and makes working more efficient.
Chose Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business does a better job and document organization and sharing compared to Google Drive. Google Drive by default gives you a large list of files for which you create folders and navigating through those can be a hassle. Dropbox Business gives you a good folder …
Chose Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business is basically an industry standard for file storage at this point and most clients and team members will be familiar with it. Sharefile’s main advantage is its security. It provides more security options than Dropbox. The only downside that our team saw with …
Chose Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business is far superior for user experience, file requests, and general stability, but it's a hard sell to use extensively when OneDrive is included with Microsoft 365.
Chose Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business seemed to have many more features when we rated it against our scorecard and was head and shoulders above MyWorkDrive and eFileCabinet. Both competing products seemed more primitive or basic when compared to Dropbox Business. I realize that many features go …
Chose Dropbox Business
Sometimes using products outside the Microsoft ecosystem forces competition and helps to get improvements fast tracked which benefits everyone. Dropbox Business is designed from the ground up as opposed to yet another add on to a wider set of software applications. User …

No other products to compare with. This has been the only product I've used so far.

The services like OneDrive and Google Drive are pretty identical but, OneDrive for business is more cost-effective as it already is included in all of our user's Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions. They all similar functionality but at the end of the day if we can use a …
Chose Dropbox Business
We also use Microsoft OneDrive, but I prefer Dropbox Business. It’s more intuitive, and frankly, more people have it. We work with a lot of contractors, and almost all of them have Dropbox accounts. It makes it easier to use what everyone else is using. Also, I love the notes …
Chose Dropbox Business
Google drive is a lot cheaper and allows for more GB than Dropbox Business. Hightail also offers a fair amount of storage space and is about the same price as Dropbox. Google Drive offers 15gb and Dropbox only 2gb however there are ways to get more storage. Dropbox though could …
Chose Dropbox Business
We mainly selected Dropbox business for the limited deployments are due to the customers we have already using them. They are not our centralized system of choice.
Chose Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business offers very similar file sharing via the cloud features compared to Ms OneDrive & Box. One major advantage with Dropbox Business is the desktop app. With the app users can monitor both a business Dropbox account as well as their own personal Dropbox account. …
Chose Dropbox Business
The easiest to use and understand. No other platform is as easy to understand and use. Something like Apple iCloud manages files for you and I find that very irritating. Google edits you uses and file names and send notices if you use a word that could mean you copy files

Dropbox saves file that can be modified. With procore and plangrid you have to download the document to modify and then send via email unless you have the permissions to add

We initially used Intermedia's cloud service, SecuriSync for data rooms but our clients had trouble registering for SecuriSync in order to get file share approval. Dropbox has made this process much easier for our clients.

when comparing Dropbox against google drive, it comes first the visualisation of the features, in which google has a clear advantage, as it has been developed with the simplicity and at the same time accessibility to all features in an easy way.

Chose Dropbox Business
They are very alike-- in the end we need to work locally more often than others, so for that reason we went with Dropbox business as our main internal group collab for files. Box's security is better, but Dropbox's sync and sync control is better.

As mentioned before I prefer to use google drive when sharing items with others. Just because google chrome is centered on a lot of what I do so it is easier to just stick with what is there. However, Dropbox works great when my clients prefer that method of sharing documents …

Likelihood to Recommend
Deltek Collaboration is best suited for companies and employees that are needing to work closely with other people. Working with agencies, for example, can take so much time waiting to hear back on the status of a project or getting files, so when you can have it all in one place it saves a lot of time and effort.

Everywhere as aforementioned it is well suited ... The largest and most appropriate... A business can never ever have too many locations of its data stored. This option allows my company to have our data stored in one location and everyone works it in real time whereas the updates go in "Real time" no matter who is working that file. This is the most awesome trick of the entire program not to mention that I can see everything that Bobbiesue is working on out west at the same time pull another activity report to see if indeed Peggy logged in for work from home at 2p yesterday as she stated she did. Its a check and balance for small businesses such as ours that runs on the honor system for telework employees. At this time, there just is not any less appropriate!

Cons
  • Pricing could be better as other options are free.
  • Improved interface.
Read full review
  • I deeply dislike the navigation. I find it very clunky and hard and not intuitive. A few years ago Dropbox redesigned its navigation and I'm frequently at a loss to figure out where to access the option I need.
  • It should be quicker and easier to figure out how to send a file. I wish I could do that from the drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo.
  • I wish I had the option under the same drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo to go to where the files are on my laptop, which I find much easier to navigate.

First, because it's very price reasonable and second because it fulfills the promise it makes. It is simple to use, the learning curve is not that steep and it's easier for the new hires to understand and start using the tool as soon as they are on-boarded. It doesn't just save time but also effort

Usability

Well-designed, smart, packed with functionality without being overwhelming—Dropbox knows what they are doing and they do it well. They know what users want from the service and they make sure that all the normal use cases are intuitive and at your fingertips. I have never had a hard time finding things with Dropbox and I think their usability is excellent.

At least once a week the app crashes on my computer and causes files to stop syncing. It is an easy fix to re-open the app, however I have to notice the app stopped working to realize it needs to be reopened.

Performance
No answers on this topic
The Dropbox site and tools load in a reasonable amount of time. I don't feel like their site and app performance is any better or worse than any other paid product that I've seen offered by any other large company. Compared to a competing product like Google Drive, the performance is probably about the same.

I give it a nine because I haven't ever had to use the support or help. I would give it a ten but since I've never had to use them, I can't really give a full review of how their support works. I've talked to market research teams from Dropbox about new features, but have not had to get any assistance with a problem yet.

Implementation Rating
No answers on this topic
The implementation was actually very simple. Again, as stated previously, the most intriguing part of the entire exercise was the implementation of the directory structure for each account. Once you design and implement it for one, it becomes quite simple to replicate for each account you implement thereafter. You just really need to take time to ensure you implement the first perfectly and those that follow on will be likewise work efficiently and easily.

Before Deltek, we had just communicated around projects through Slack since it was free.

Dropbox Business is dependable, adaptable, and cost-effective for our businesses. On the inside, it’s comparable to other file-sharing and storage. Also, file access and navigation are much faster. We use it to share documents and store data and files for our business purposes. And I’ve never been convinced of other tools’ integrity or dependability. Dropbox Business has good connectivity and is smooth to use.

We've used this when we were 2 users and when we were 20. It did not make any difference. Even when we've had to scale down and fire 10 employees, it was still easy to salvage all the material and keep it organized within Dropbox.
