Dropbox is assisting me trade and offering data with clients in a substantially more secure and effective manner. Clients are inclined toward and track down incredible allure in the stage, making it an astounding apparatus. Clients can likewise sort out their reports and records in their own particular manner, (for example, by year/name/substance), and the records don't erase with the goal that I can get to more established archives as per my necessities.
- Having the comfort of putting away documents from the workplace and afterward having the option to recover them from home is totally fantastic.
- No more utilization of thumb drives for the business when we can send photos and verifications over to the cloud effectively to recover later.
- There is an absence of search usefulness in this application which makes it troublesome now and again to discover the significant archives required on that second. In any case, the application is incredible.

Dropbox Business is outstanding; that is a good option for storing data because it provides excellent value at a low cost. We have complete control over who can access our files at the folder and file levels. It’s smooth to use, has an excellent user interface, and provides various storage options for our business. Logging in gives us easy access to all our data, which I treasure. I can also access it from any location where I have an internet connection, which is convenient—our company benefits from its help in managing and growing. As a professional, it is a must-have accessory. Dropbox Business updated our work while on the go and made it possible to keep in touch. Dropbox Business is easy to use on all devices, including my smartphone, desktop computer, and tablet. Besides text and email, we can send files via these methods.

We use Dropbox as an organization to share files between ourselves, with clients and as a long-term archive of files that clients might come back to us asking for.

- Issues with companies blocking Dropbox for security reasons
- Desktop app is cumbersome

We use Dropbox for Business (DFB) as a vehicle for sharing within our organization. In addition since we work with a variety of external consultants and experts who we do NOT want to provide access to our secure corporate network, we use DFB and provide them with access to DFB in order for them to provide information, review information, etc. DFB is automatically backed up to our corporate servers in a highly secure manner.
DFB has proven to be a convenient solution and we use its team functions to organize information by projects and provide specific team members (internal or external) to the specific team files/information.
- Provide access for external consultants to information without needing to provide access to our secure corporate network.
- Organize by teams and projects.
- Straightforward process for adding and removing team members and access.
- More helpful training information for users.
- More helpful training information for Administrators.
Dropbox Business is used across the entire organization. As per our organization usage is concern that it secure team collaboration. File storage issues is being solved with high importance and space issues is being solved at the optimum level. Another important aspect of using this application file sharing hassle is getting very easy. Another important reason of using this application that it provide fine security and protection towards the user end. Organizing team in one platform is one of the biggest plus point of using this application specially in this pandemic era.

- Works well remotely and accessibility is very easy
- Application for team content and for team and documentation collaborating
- Mobile application will help me out for smooth and ongoing access at everywhere

Dropbox Business Meets Our Needs Very Well!
Our organization uses Dropbox Business across our whole organization. We have employees who are scattered in different locations with several working from home and one working out of state. Dropbox enables us to collaborate on workflow and to share documents across all of the various locations in which we have employees. Not only does it allow us to do this, but it also provides security in that it enables us to store all of these documents, readily accessible, in a cloud. We are very happy with Dropbox and it provides great value to our organization.
- It enables us to share documents and workflow to all employees for whom access is allowed regardless of where in the world they may be located.
- Dropbox Business provides a means to safely store our documents without having to have physical copies.
- Dropbox also allows for easy organization of our documents in folders and such in the system.
- I don't personally have any thing which I think Dropbox Business could improve upon. I am happy overall.

All the features you need.
I had been using DropBox personal for years and when we began to look for a solution for file sharing, our first instinct was to use our internal network. Well, we soon found out how challenging it can be for people to figure out how to navigate shared drives. On top of that we needed to share files with multiple users who are not employees and don't have access to the network. DropBox Business allowed us to not only share files, but to also organize and back up important financial documents for more redundancy without to fear of losing local data.
- Backup of important files away from the local network.
- Organization.
- File sharing with unlimited individuals and file size.
- Not the biggest fan of the user interface.
- Sometimes it randomly un-syncs, if that's even a word.
Dropbox Business is an awesome software compared to other similar softwares. It is one of the most easiest softwares to use. I love its user interface, it is very simple and easy to navigate. I can easily share crucial files to people swiftly.
- It has a very intuitive user interface so navigation becomes very easy.
- I can quickly share files to people.
- Its security is marvelous, that is very impressive.
- It is a bit expensive. The price should be lower.
- Locating files is difficult. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to find important files.

Great file sharing / collaboration tool
Dropbox has allowed us to share files between users easily, especially when working remotely. The ability to be able to access files from any device is hugely helpful to us as an organization. It provided us with a quick, reliable method of sharing project files with different team members very quickly and easily. It has been a lifesaver.
- Ability to share large files in a secure manner.
- Allows our team to collaborate easily from any location.
- Large amount of storage available.
- We have not encountered any areas that we feel need to be improved.
I need to share files with a number of collaborators outside my organization and that's what we mainly use it for. We need it for very large files depicting contemporary fine artwork. We work with museums and very high end collectors. We don't have lots of departments, only one, and we all work remotely. We were working remotely before the pandemic.
- I like that I know where items will be when I download them. With other services, sometimes I don't know where the downloads go.
- I like the option to be able to have everything online only in case I need to save room on my laptop.
- I like the option to have real-time syncing between my desktop and the folders in Dropbox.
- I deeply dislike the navigation. I find it very clunky and hard and not intuitive. A few years ago Dropbox redesigned its navigation and I'm frequently at a loss to figure out where to access the option I need.
- It should be quicker and easier to figure out how to send a file. I wish I could do that from the drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo.
- I wish I had the option under the same drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo to go to where the files are on my laptop, which I find much easier to navigate.

DropBox Business - A Great Sharing Solution
Dropbox Business is being used in our organization to share files between individuals and external contacts. It solves the issue of not having to give non-domain users access to our internal network, opening up security issues. It also allows us to not have to upgrade server storage on site.
- Sharing
- Storage
- Syncing to PC
- Pricing structure
- Maybe add Active Directory (AD) integration
Dropbox Business is being used by our entire organization. Dropbox Business offers sharing and storing of files and collaborating tools. We get 5TB of space with our Standard Plan and it has easy-to-use team management and collaboration tools. While they offer other plans depending on your business size, the standard plan offers quite a bit of storage.
- Collaborating tools makes it easy for working on projects with team members remotely.
- 5 TB of storage offers quite a bit of space to utilize.
- Having a team management feature offers user friendly and efficient working space.
- Allowing more than one admin would be great.

Dropbox - it's an investment that's worth it
Dropbox Business is used across my organization widely. We trust Dropbox to store all our business data safely and with an instant backup and it allows us to share files in real-time. We don't use email to send documents, we just update the document and it's available for all shared users. It also allows each user to keep documents private but with a backup easy to restore.
- Sharing files
- Saving older versions of each file
- Sharing files with external users by link
- Sharing files with people outside your organization can be troublesome for external users, many report difficulties accessing the files
- The Paper app is a great idea but very poor in features, making it useless
- Changing the place you store your data locally could be difficult and lengthy
We use Dropbox Business to maintain a variety of documents for both internal and external use with our clients. It allows us to share things easily with our clients as well as provide light collaboration with the Google Doc integration that is available within Dropbox. We also can synchronize certain projects on our computers using the desktop tool.
- Sharing with Clients
- Organization of Documents
- Get Details on Files
- Google Doc Integration
- Document Searching
- Desktop Tool Robustness
We use Dropbox Business throughout our organization. We build templated apps for third-party clients and the work that we do requires the creation and storage of a high volume of creative assets. Dropbox Business gives us a central storage location that our whole team can easily access. Everyone has visibility into our Dropbox and no one has to keep large design files on their local drives.
- Ease of use - Dropbox provides a simple interface that most team members and clients are already familiar with.
- The ability to have Dropbox folders accessible from Finder makes it seem like your cloud storage is local but you don’t take up space on your hard drive.
- Dropbox makes it easy to share files with anyone.
- Initial setup of the Dropbox app has been tricky for some of our less tech-savvy team members.
- It’d be great to have the ability to create a custom link for assets/folders instead of just having the randomly generated url.

Dropbox Business makes document sharing easy.
We have numerous documents that need to be shared with and signed by our clients. These documents, need to be securely stored and shared as they contain sensitive information about the clients and their 401k plans. Also, we can share weekly reports and testing results for their 401k plans. Again, all of this data needs to be protected as there is sensitive information about clients' officers and management teams. The reports may have PII data about the plan participants.
- Share documents.
- Store documents.
- Document collaboration.
- Better password management.
- Easier SSO.

Dropbox Business - Saved in the cloud
[Dropbox Business] is used as an enterprise document storage platform, by all of our organization. Provides a secure cloud storage platform accessible over multiple devices including laptop and mobile. Accessed via Single Sign On and provides the necessary assurance of being a secure platform approved internally for use by the organization.
- Document sharing with external parties.
- Accessible over various devices so handy if you don't have your own machine, as long as you use Single Sign on and 2FA.
- Co-editing of documents is a great feature.
- Sometimes it can feel a lesser experience when accessing Dropbox Business through windows explorer compared to web access. Creating parity between the two so it looks the same would be an improvement but I would imagine it's designed more to access straight from a browser.

Dropbox works the way it should
The company uses Dropbox to securely share files with users and partners. It really helps if there are confidential documents that need to be shared. By adding the person to share the files or documents via email address it ensures you have to have access to the email the file or documents are being shared with.
- Dropbox is easy to add users.
- Dropbox makes it easy to share and store files and documents.
- Dropbox is also very easy to deprovision.
- I haven't had issues where the current functions are not working the way I need them to.

Dropbox Business Review
We originally started to use Dropbox Business as a solution to share data with other external users, consultants, and customers. We really loved using this tool in the beginning as it was easy to share large files, but when sharing to users that do not have enough storage on their personal account. It turned into more unnecessary work. But I love the secure sharing features that it provides and allows you to password protect as well as expire the link. Those are features that have been available for years.
One way we like to use it create a shared folder for a specific need and provide read/write access to non-pro users to access it. This works just fine as most company users do not have the need for the premium features and this helps with cost and efficiency.
We are now using Microsoft SharePoint/OneDrive a little more but always go back to Dropbox when need to share securely. If wanting to purchase this product, please use a trial and have a plan prior to starting to make sure the features you need and want will work well for your organization, before spending the money on the annual subscription.
