Dropbox is comparable. I use Dropbox because that is what my employer chose to use for the company.
Chose Dropbox
Google drive and doc are great for sharing files for online collaboration; but lack offline access capabilities;

Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is easier to use, and interfaces in a more seamless way with my computer than OneDrive. I rarely have to re-log in, making it less frustrating. I always have access to my Dropbox files, whether I am connected to the internet or not,, This is not always the case with On…
Chose Dropbox
It is frustrating to have to use a separate program

I’ve used Google Drive since I was young with school, yet I personally had used Dropbox because it was better overall. I use Google Workspace for work with our company suite, but do not care for the file system nearly as much as I do with Dropbox. Google offers more features …
Chose Dropbox
Someone recommended it early on and i stuck with it.
Chose Dropbox
I don't use Dropbox for forms at all; not sure how I would do so. But Google Forms has its own real shortcomings, so I would be happy to try out a Dropbox alternative! The most useful improvements for me would be in facilitating cloning prior forms (e.g. for iterative, but …

Mediazilla- This is a platform for videographers designed to have a client-facing product that acts as a DVD menu, but with digital content. While attractive & easy to use from a client perspective, it was expensive on the business side. I am no longer doing enough video jobs …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is more expensive; but is easier to use and more intuitive for our staff
Chose Dropbox
we selected Dropbox because we have a mix of PC and Mac users across the organization. Trying to access files on Apple iCloud from a PC is not always the easiest.

I really don’t think it is an apple’s to apples comparison. I think Dropbox is by far the superior file management …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is somehow easier to use, it is lighter and faster. Also the UX is more understandable and clear to me. I used Google Drive because it was a standard with one of my clients... But I really didn't like it. I truly hope, I will not be forced to use it again.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is quite universally used so I selected it based on the recommendations of others. It is also important to me that in integrates with my computer browser.
Chose Dropbox
I use both Box and Dropbox and Dropbox overall performs better; however, I like the file analytics from Box better.
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
Dropbox does not put a limit on the size of a file upload, and offer reasonable pricing for their storage capacity and the capacity comes in TB instead of MB
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox has no limit to the size of file you can send for download
Chose Dropbox
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.
Chose Dropbox
The only edge GitHub has is in versioning and when collaborators work on files at the same time. This doesn't occur too frequently for me, and Dropbox is easier in other ways.
Chose Dropbox
I already answered this on the last question. Sorry.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is more user friendly for file storage when you want to open and make notes on pdf etc.
Chose Dropbox
I think Dropbox is better and also better priced. They are quite different to what Dropbox is used for but I do use we transfer once in a while when people don't have access or an account with Dropbox

Dropbox
It has been great for my real estate business as I have many files and need to keep them for a minimum of 5 years. I use it for business and personal files to stay organized. I don't care to use it for photo storage as I feel that it takes up too much space, and I prefer to keep them separate.

Pros
Dropbox
  • 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
Dropbox
  • 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.

Usability
Dropbox
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
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.

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!

I needed to stay current in improving my daily operations. Dropbox
was suggested to me by a former colleague two-years ago and I've been using it just fine ever since.

For me, Dropbox is so much easier to use than Google Drive. I have both because I have a client who relies on me using Google, but each time I upload something, it gets lost in translation, and the document does not appear the same in Google. Frustrating. Love Dropbox!

Return on Investment
Dropbox
  • 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.
