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.
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 …
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.
I've stated a few times already - DropBox set the Industry standard. Even when people are using a different solution - they tend to refer to cloud filesharing as using their "DropBox". So - including those I've referenced above - they all do virtually the same thing. DropBox …
Our company uses both Dropbox and Flight for file storage but in different contexts. Dropbox has been our internal source for ALL files that can be accessed by employees with company emails. Flight was set up as our external brand portals for product images, lifestyle images, …
Box dropped shortly after Dropbox with the intent on beating out Dropbox in file sharing by offering more space for free and adjusting their pricing. What was crazy was Box was less secure than Dropbox and had less functionality upfront. Although they had a nice navigation, it …
I am a big fan of Google Drive (and Google's whole suite of online tools), but when it comes to file collaboration and management, I will chose Dropbox for Business every time. The sync functionality and device availability is unparalleled and, so far at least, the service has …
Dropbox UI is very cluttered and not well organized. It doesn't come with an office suite, unlike SharePoint. Inbuilt video player on SharePoint is great and has better playback controls than Dropbox video player. Sharepoint is integrated well with other offices 365 apps. Dropbo…
MS SharePoint lags behind its competitors in most areas. While it does offer more functionality, such as custom sites, MS SharePoint's bogged-down sharing system really hurts it. While sharing documents with coworkers, outside contractors, and guests is hassle-free with Google …
We have looked at several cloud file sharing solutions. Limited configuration features and resistance from IT departments to allow cloud file sharing access make MS SharePoint the solution with a broader acceptance across partners.
I think that Google Drive is much faster and more efficient than working in SharePoint. I understand that the benefit of using SharePoint is the integration of other MS tools such as Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. However, these tools all work more efficiently offline rather …
MS SharePoint had great Microsoft product integration compared to other services, and was a more complete enterprise package. We didn't evaluate many other services, as SharePoint's integration into other basic office programs was more valuable than saving a little bit or …
Dropbox and Facebook both are very easy to do the same thing with. I don't know what the pricing is for Sharepoint, or what king of controls are on the back-end, so my knowledge on the back-end of Sharepoint is very limited. As a user, they seem very similar and easy to use.
The decision of selecting MS Sharepoint was relatively easy, as we have all our servers and applications in Microsoft Environments. So, by selecting SharePoint, we didn't have to worry about compatibility issues. Also, the majority of our partners are Microsoft Gold Certified, …

Chose Microsoft SharePoint
In terms of user experience and usability, other apps have done a better job proving an intuitive workflow and behaviors that just work. In contrast, SharePoint's use cases (in particular sharing with non-Microsoft users) result a bit more confusing sequence of events.
Ultimately we are an agency that makes everyday use of the Microsoft Office Suite, Exchange Servers and O365 Email Services, so it only made sense to go with MS SharePoint based on its great integrations with these other systems. It fills a much-needed gap in the agency, …
