For me, Microsoft online use was a headache. I think Microsoft Teams is hard to navigate and harder to find information. I like that if there are public folders that they are very easily accessible to anyone. Microsoft Teams did not have the availability unless you were apart …
Chose Dropbox
I try to never touch Microsoft Teams if I can help it. I know it's asking for more characters but honestly it makes me want to run screaming whenever I have to set foot in a Microsoft Teams file organization system. The number of tabs called "Files" that could belong to who …
Chose Dropbox
When it compare to Google Drive and SharePoint Dropbox is very fast and reliable and is very easy to use . Also it handles large files smoothly without any issues .It also improved collaboration quickly with easy setup .Also it has an easier interface which helps may users to …
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 …
Chose Dropbox
We have not used other tools
Chose Dropbox
I started on Dropbox before any of these. I hate OneDrive as it constantly crashes. Google Drive enables collaboration simultaneously, as does Teams, but the limited formatting options in Google's version of Word drives me nuts. With Teams - because I didn't create the files …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is far and away the best file sharing platform. All other have crippling storage limits or significant downtime and sync issues.
Chose Dropbox
Superior. It has the best of each of these options.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox has better features overall than these alternatives.
Though Google Drive Offers more space, the subscription is higher and can not be used off line. Teams when associated with One Drive works well but can not be used offline. Therefore Dropbox is user friendly and cost effective Dropbox sees more secure as I have not yet …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox seems to be more seamless in getting the folders set up and access ready.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is faster, cheaper, and performs better than the other services I have used for the things that I need it to do. I have plenty of space and the transfer speeds are nice, plus the automatic synch is awesome, and unlike One Drive it doesn't try to rewrite all of my …
Chose Dropbox
Unlike Google Drive, we have not experienced any system failures or being down. When one sector of Google is down, this affects the entire work suite.
Chose Dropbox
I would say that Dropbox ranks in the middle among the others I have used. Google Drive is my preference, because of its simple UI and smooth user experience. Dropbox ranks second because it's a bit clunky compared to Google. OneDrive ranks third because it's still useful and …
Chose Dropbox
I prefer the user interface that Dropbox uses. I like using Dropbox on my cell phone, but it also works wonderfully on web browsers of all types.
Chose Dropbox
On teams, it is hard to view files. Within teams, you have to download them, which takes forever to load if you go back by accident. Dropbox is the best option out of anything I have used.
Chose Dropbox
DropBox is more user friendly and widely used in our industry
Chose Dropbox
In the previous section, I mentioned a few advantages of using Dropbox in the work environment. Dropbox seems to be the most popular and well-known product on the market. With that said, it is excellent in so many ways: easy to navigate, easy to share, and with no complicated …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox provided good value for reasonable capability
Chose Dropbox
As an organization we found permissioning and user access to be easier to manage with Dropbox than OneDrive. The file storage themselves seem pretty comparable so the main benefit I've observed is the user access seems a bit more intuitive with Dropbox.
Chose Dropbox
The filing system that Teams is based on is confusing when outside of Teams which then forces you to use only Teams to look for a collaboration. It is tough to search for things in Teams, but their keyword search does work well, however, you really need to know part of the …
Microsoft Teams

Dropbox
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

It's amazing as a daily driver for team communication, and document search/store. Also, if you're doing a lot of LONG meetings and have trouble remembering details, the AI summarization is amazing and convenient. It just works. I'm not saying I always do this, of course, but if I need to 'skim' instead of really digging into every detail from a meeting, the AI-generated summary is generally good enough that I can get away with it.

OpenText Core Share is a great tool for storing files and collaborating. It makes for a great collaboration tool. It's easy to track changes, enable or disable access to others, and works directly from browser. It needs some improvisations in terms of speed and consistency. Overall, it's a great tool for small teams to work together.

  • 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.

  • The webinars feature has some missing functionally such as the ability for all users to use the Q&A feature (only those with a Microsoft Teams account can use it now), the ability to upload documents for attendees to easily access and download, and the ability for presenters and organizers to easily chat amongst themselves throughout the webinar.
  • The "Channels" organization hierarchy could be more clear. If you have several channels set up, it can get clunky and hard to find the specific channel you are looking for.
  • The MS Planner tool lacks functionality and organization. You cannot assign more than one person to a task and it's confusing when you try to share tasks with people - it would be nice if they were automatically added to someone's calendar.

Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products.

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.

If you have the full Microsoft Office suite, it works really well because it's integrated well within its ecosystem, but if not, it can be annoying because it tries to open a shared file in the web versions of the file equivalents. The web version is also a bit slow, and the login is very difficult to handle if you have multiple Microsoft or Outlook accounts.

Performance

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.

The overall support provided by Microsoft for Microsoft Teams has been quite good but there is still some room for improvements. Microsoft needs to proactively work on fixing the open bugs in order to provide a seamless experience to the users. But over the service and experience provided by the Microsoft team have been quite satisfactory.

Microsoft Teams offers a much more integrated experience between their chat and video call function compared to Google Chat and Slack. Both other tools are much better for internal communications are they have simpler UI without other features. Whereas Microsoft Teams can be used for more critical conversations, particularly between external companies, and has been very useful in sales conversations which is what we chose it for when speaking to companies that work exclusively through Microsoft.

  • 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.

  • Personally, I would say that by using Microsoft Teams, it upped my collaboration with my colleagues by around 50% or around more than half of what I usually did prior to using it.
  • I had 100% show rate and attendance on all of my meetings in the past 6 months.
  • If I may add, I also have been chattier & collaborative towards my colleagues in past 3 months particularly the month of December when we had huge traffic at work. I would estimate this behavior to have been increased by around 60% than what I usually incur during normal operating days.
