monday.com Work OS is an open platform designed so that anyone can create the tools they need to run all aspects of their work. It includes ready-made templates or the ability to customize any work solution ranging from sales pipelines to marketing campaigns, CRMs, and project tracking.
They both are good at keeping organized, but I think Dropbox is better because it shows the history of the file and once saved it easily updates. With monday to update a file I would have to edit it save, delete the original file and re upload. Monday was more of a hassle, …
We tried monday.com for a short time, and it worked okay as an internal communication device, but was more form over function. Whereas Dropbox looks minimal, but is very functional. We quickly dropped Monday and switched back to using Dropbox exclusively for file management. We …
Dropbox has a better user interface design and it is clear to me what I am uploading, and where I am uploading them on Dropbox. It also gives me a preview of what I am looking at, whereas Google Drive does not provide that same usability. Dropbox is better when it comes to …
It wasn't my task to select a drive service, but I prefer Dropbox because it has more features, it is easier to use and in terms of design/front it is more appealing.
It's easier to use Dropbox. With Google Drive, the price is expensive and sharing files suck. It's easy to share and download files with Dropbox and you can send over videos for clients to check out and just comment on.
With OneDrive, it's a bit too constricting when it comes …
Dropbox is better in most situations Except for when multiple users are editing and saving one document. In this circumstance typically Google Drive allows easier use of services as you do not have to worry about your files being overwritten and chasing the change history to …
each have a method of file storage but dropbox is the best for file storage and access.

I'd say it is better than Cloudinary and Google Drive. Ease of use and options with the product are better.
However, when it comes to versioning and file maintenance I'd still say that GitHub is the best option here.

Dropbox is similar to SharePoint, but I have found that the search functions are better and DropBox also makes organizing and accessing files offline easier.
I love Google Drive, but am limited on using it because many of my clients and stakeholders are in China.

Chose Dropbox
I did not necessarily choose Dropbox, however it does have much simpler integration with other programs like Slack which makes it my preferred file storage solution. It also boasts a native file transfer platform, which outperforms the other programs I have used. The Dropbox …
Similar but Dropbox was simpler to understand and easier to control. It also doesn't lock you in to one type of document and works decently well with all sorts of different document types.
Egnyte was quite similar but desktop native, which made onboarding a bit easier and more natural for non-tech native folks and folks who are used to the typical file system structure. That said, Dropbox with the desktop functionality is a good hybrid between Egnyte and Google …
I like Dropbox better than both of them. SharePoint I find has more glitches and bugs, and Google Drive isn't as user friendly as the typical Google product.
The easy of use and configuration is where monday.com has had an advantage. The ability for all our users to startup on the platform has helped to incorporate it into our enterprise environment quickly.
I like that monday.com has automations so that I can set myself a reminder if tasks are not completed by the due date. Monday.com also makes it easy to replicate or copy boards, as well as the customization opportunities. Monday.com makes it easy to break down a project into …
In the past we have used Harvest as an organizational tool, while we still use it for budgeting, Dapulse is a much more user-friendly interface for organization.
It works very well for my particular role in book design, where I manage multiple projects simultaneously and need to link to hundreds of images nested within other folders. At times, though, it seems my computer folders will change which files are kept in the cloud vs. my desktop.
Here, I will suggest that it is best to create employees, clients, or project reports. Easy to track with the dashboards. I did many integrations and developments. I can not list each of them here. I will say the best tool for management. I couldn't see criteria of unsuitable. But yes It will depend on the client's requirements. I will suggest it as very user-friendly tool for CEOs, CTOs, Managers, and company owners also for team.
One issue is when the preview of the video will sometimes play at the same time when watching it in full screen, where the two videos overlap each other.
Faster import time when inserting multiple files
It will be easier and faster to have a section to delete files under the folder tab
Ensuring I have set up a Private board vs public board is not clear - it would be useful to have an additional alert when creating a board as I work with sensitive information. It will eventually be used in a team based environment but while I test the boards, they needs to be private.
Time tracking is clumsy, could be easier to record
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.
Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle. Boards might track content ideas, assignments, drafts, reviews, approvals, and publication schedules, helping teams collaborate and keep content production on track.
[Its] functionality and usability are very good, however[,] on every computer that I have ever installed the app on, Dropbox assumes I want it to update the files every time I start the system up. That's not always true, but the app assumes it is. I can switch that function off, but I would rather that function default to "Off" and then I can decide to turn it on as needed.
It's straightforward to use and simple to understand. They have tutorials on different elements of the system that you can learn. The workflow there is very intuitive, drag and drop, which doesn't require a learning curve for most people. Templates that also make things more accessible can be found.
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.
Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")
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.
monday.com only really care about accounts that have 20 seats or more. While this is great for monday.com, it pushes smaller organisations to evaluate alternatives. We rate monday.com highly in our organisation because key staff have already got good experience with the application and we know we will get to 20+ seats one day. But, till then the billing model and lack of permanent enterprise features is a dread.
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!
To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.
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.
We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.
Google Drive has similar features, but the security functions of Dropbox allows our institution to save our sensitive and regulated data in a more protected way on Dropbox. This gives administrators, decision makers and policy makers additional piece, especially during a time and living in a world where data breaches are much more frequent and common.
We have converted using spreadsheets over to Monday and so far everything is going well. Things are more organized and you don't have to worry about bookmarking a bunch of Excel pages. Everything is in one place and easy to access for the whole team.
For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.
