These are similar in the sense that with Google Drive you can share large files and collaborate, and that with Slack, you can send large files. Our company actually used all 3, and each had a great purpose (DropBox helped send files to reps outside of our company's network, Goog…
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 …
Google Drive UI is VERY messy. It is not convenient to use, and its integration to the desktop is arbitrary... OneDrive sync functions tend to break and lots of time we found ourselves wondering why a work we just saved disappeared, only to find out that it was overridden by the …
- Dropbox business does a much better job with handier mobile and desktop apps; - it is much better than iCloud when used cross-platform; - it does not require the people that I share files with to have Google Accounts to use the functionality fully;
Google Drive does not give us the option to view files on our desktop - you have to be connected to the internet to do anything on Drive. Also, it is hard to keep the most up-to-date version saved on the drive. Sharing is also slightly more difficult on Drive. For these reasons …
Dropbox Business has much more convenience when storing all types of files. For us, the overall design of the platform is a very influential factor, and which encourages us to choose a platform. When using Google Drive, I realized that it has a straightforward design, and …
We use many different file storage, versioning, sharing and document collaboration services. We are not exclusively using Dropbox. Rather, we use Dropbox Business when it is appropriate, like delivering to clients who use it. We also use it internally some, and as mentioned, we …
Although Google Drive has a solid built-in document editor, we found Dropbox Business to be much easier to use and a better fit for the types of documents and files we wanted to store and share with both internal teams and customers. The versioning helped save us a few times …
We tried out a variety of competitors and Dropbox Business was the fastest tool we could find for large file uploads and downloads. And not only that, it was one of the most affordable tools as well. For us, it was an obvious choice and has been an integral part of our workflow.
Dropbox seemed to stack up better against Box and seems to have less bugs and crashes. I would definitely recommend Dropbox Business over Box and other competitors.
The user experience can't be overlooked as to how good it is. Users don't need any training and they can work right away. OneDrive isn't reliable and none of the other products stack up for the user experience.
The biggest differentiator between Google Drive and Dropbox for our organization has been the ability to have simultaneous personal and business accounts. Most of our users have personal Google Drive accounts, and don't want to remove them in order to use a work one.
I'm actually a OneDrive fan and use it personally. I think DropBox and OneDrive for Business stack up fairly reasonably. Both can integrate directly with most Microsoft products now. One thing I've found is the DropBox sync seems to be solid, whereas OneDrive sync can often …
