    Chose Dropbox
    Dropbox is more dynamic regarding versioning and global collaboration. The UI is easier to navigate, which means lower training costs. The storage is extremely reliable, so we need not worry about losing files. Dropbox provides us with both storage and sharing features. Syncing …

    Chose MediaValet
    They really are very different platforms. MediaValet offers much more control over who has access to files and how they are downloaded, as well as offering conversions of some files such as JPEG to PNG or TIFF. Also, through user profiles, you can grant access to a specific …

    Chose MediaValet
    I have used asset management systems based in on-premise storage such as Drobos or other raid systems and web-based DAMs, such as Canto which are more comparable to how MediaValet works on a cloud-based system. Nothing beats MediaValet in reliability, ease of use, and customer …

    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

    MediaValet is well suited for DAM specific use cases, it provides robust features and functionality for sorting, segmenting and searching data so team members can easily access what they are looking for without knowing the platform. We find our Sales and Marketing teams both love this software for keeping marketing assets properly organized and available on demand whenever it's needed. This DAM solution is one of the most advanced out there and well suited for large teams looking to break silos.

    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!

    • I would love to have an improved MediaValet app. People send me pictures to my phone that need to go into the DAM, and it would be easier for me to upload from my phone rather than email to myself and then upload on the computer.
    • I would love to see upload dates displayed when searching for photos to add to the Portals I create.
    • I wish the delete feature didn't delete ALL of the pictures, even when they're in different categories.
    • It would be cool to somehow integrate MediaValet as a folder on the computer like dropbox.

    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 is not only likely, but we have been doing it for more than 6 years. We have even had the service since before I joined the company. The service works well for me and I hope that this service will continue to be renewed next year, as not having it would make my job more complicated.

    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.

    I gave MediaValet a 7 for overall usability because it is reliable and effective once you’re familiar with it, but it has a learning curve. The platform is powerful and well suited for managing large volumes of assets, but the interface can feel complex at times and some common actions take more steps than expected. With simpler navigation and a smoother onboarding experience for new users, usability could be even stronger.

    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 mainly use MediValet to send special medical images to our partners. Collaboration with other companies is very simplified through MediaValet. The qualitatively uploaded images can be excactly assigned and organised through various filters. It is much clearer and easier for our partners to understand when the images have been accurately labelled and assigned beforehand.

    MediaValet is much better and easier to use than File Explorer. MediaValet lets us search for photos, control who can access them, and not worry about our assets being deleted at random. This is critical for a government organization that oftentimes needs to search for assets from the distant past. MediaValet makes it much easier to tag our photos, add post dates, and set usage rights for each photo.

    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.

    • While we have had MediaValet only for a short period, we are already seeing improvements in how quickly certain projects can be completed.
    • I recently created an Annual Report which had a lot of big image files and data tables and using a Lightbox with our design agency to share these files saved us a huge amount of time.
    • As we roll out MediaValet to the teams, staff are becoming more aware of the quality, amount, and value of our best assets.
