I can work on InDesign need to download them
Chose Dropbox
Regarding the core syncing experience on macOS, Dropbox has been rock-solid and the best among the ones I listed here. Also, it provides a native Linux client, which makes it more cross-platform. I do still use iCloud and Google Drive for other purposes. But for the main file …
Chose Dropbox
The other platform has too many limitations on the storage end, and since I was already a client of Dropbox, it was easier to stay with the same platform.
Chose Dropbox
easier and what we need is all in one place
Chose Dropbox
Hate to be a broken record but it all goes back to ease of use and doing business. OneDrive and iCloud have extra steps to give access and it becomes cumbersome
Chose Dropbox
Years ago I used Flickrr to share my photos. Dropbox was easier to use 13 years ago and I've been very satisfied ever since.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox has the best value to feature ratio- and is so much more responsive and reliable than Google Drive- it is almost unusable for storing large media files especially folders of files!
Chose Dropbox
I find that Dropbox works best for me, because I'm able to simply visit a website, drop off my files, and create a shareable link. Everything in Dropbox is more organised and quicker than the other products I've used - at least, in my experience.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox ergonomy is better & makes it easy to navigate in the app
Chose Dropbox
We still use both, but we use Dropbox more for media files (photos, videos, photoshop files etc.) due to it's enhanced searching, organization and visual layout.
Chose Dropbox
More compatible. Generate better links to send files to clients. Manual backup is more friendly.
Chose Dropbox
I prefer Dropbox due to the amount of features available as well as the esthetic of the platform. It just feels more premium & capable than some of it's competitors. It also is able to organize a lot easier. I have found the mobile usability to be far superior than some other …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is more well-rounded as far as capabilities. The other is geared more towards documents.
Chose Dropbox
Box sync did not always work well
SugarSync Very limited in its self imposed file structure
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is in a category of its own and we have to maintain Frame.io for our video and other reviews with clients -- Dropbox Replay and the browser can make videos look and sound bad. We also had to go for a cheaper large scale backup off site as Dropbox was too expensive …
Chose Dropbox
Because it has more valuable support and increase free and i use only one paid cloud storage subscription.

The reason I only use one is becuase to keep track my cost. I may use another paid but it absolutely depends. I do not want to get over comprimised and too much of the …
Chose Dropbox
It stacks up just as good if not better than Google Drive. the service is about the same. its about the pricing more than anything else
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
Although its a separate application from all the Google products I use; it's easily integrate that I still use it regularly.

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

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.

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 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!

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.
