no longer need to email confidential docs instead they are shared in dropbox

Dropbox Business is used on literally second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, etc. As the Founder, CEO, and Integrated Logistics & Solutions Director for TriState Events Dropbox Business is our life source for capturing the work and integrity of our employees who telework as it captures each log in and activity NOT ONLY for those who telework BUT ALSO for EVERY single file share that occurs in and out of our company with noncompany affiliates and intercompany "safe" recipients. Dropbox Business permits our firm/company to set expiration on files shared outside the company when sharing with noncompany participants. This ensures we maintain integrity of our confidential data. Dropbox Business encryption techniques works perfectly with our needs whereas as we progress with our growth into 2024 we would like to work with Dropbox team to be able to create a partnership of having our Vendor Registration Contracts that we already have designed and approved by our attorney, currently found in only a fillable pdf on our website, thus converted to an online submission only whereas the client has the ability to click submit, and the file is automatically saved in Dropbox Business eliminating the need for the end user to download and send to us in an attachment via email. In addition, we would like to also include a payment link which prevents submission without payment being included. Dropbox Business has many more tools available. It would be awesome to have a high level bulleted "Here's What We Offer" when opening Dropbox Business." Businesses who are looking for clear tracking of productivity among employees while protecting documents and managing who has access to what data then Dropbox Business is definitely their destiny. With all access points controlled by the Admin, Dropbox Business also permits Admin to provide access license to such people outside the org like the companies CPA, Attorney, while assigning those individuals their own folder as well. This is very helpful and reduces and/or eliminates email clutter as well.
Pros
Capture activity reports of license users (all activity across Dropbox, shared data in and out of Dropbox).
Reports of data files shared with nonlicensed or out of the firm individuals.
Data encryption, security protocols for the business, BRAVO! Job Well Done!
Permits secure partnership across its platforms with additional software gurus such as Adobe, Microsoft. As a Beta Tester and ProDeveloper for MS, Adobe, and Host-Server on GoDaddy this ability is phenomenal which makes my job as a developer using various platforms wordpress, webbuilder, WIX, etc much more user-friendly when pulling down files.
Removing and adding new licenses.
Scanning lost or recovering data, cleaning data.
Oh my, Dropbox Business is and must be the most user-friendly cloud based option for uploading, downloading and moving multiple small, medium, and even large files internally and even externally!
No matter what file format... Dropbox Business will communicate to you what you need! Communication is key with any software! Love at first site! Dropbox Business, you had me at "Happy Dropboxing!"
Cons
For Businesses who create their own contracts with their legal firms, provide more user-friendly instructions how to use Dropbox "Link" system to be able to embed these onto the end users website if there is desired destination such as ours, whereas the aforementioned we would be able to then form a submit button and provide a payment button. If they do not pay then it will not submit. Providing these types of instructions with the add-ons of new service plans would only increase revenue for Dropbox and potentially a new revenue stream. Maybe even offer tutorials for redevelopers who desire to learn this aspect of DropBox. Why not? Again it added revenue, what company is not always seeking ways to build into its business plan new revenue streams.
New ways to suspend users without being charged for things like if the employee has been suspended without pay etc... things like this are a positive for the small business sector.
Offer annual contracts, however they can pay monthly with small interest connect with Adobe Admin to see how they do it. I believe they offer that type of program. Penalty applies if they cancel before the year is up.
Offer referral programs to long term clients... Bring Dropbox Business a new client who signs a year contract even if they pay monthly receive 25% of your annual contract even if you pay monthly.

Everywhere as aforementioned it is well suited ... The largest and most appropriate... A business can never ever have too many locations of its data stored. This option allows my company to have our data stored in one location and everyone works it in real time whereas the updates go in "Real time" no matter who is working that file. This is the most awesome trick of the entire program not to mention that I can see everything that Bobbiesue is working on out west at the same time pull another activity report to see if indeed Peggy logged in for work from home at 2p yesterday as she stated she did. Its a check and balance for small businesses such as ours that runs on the honor system for telework employees. At this time, there just is not any less appropriate!
Store files related to projects we are working on and allow multiple users to simultaneously access the same document(s) at the same time. This eliminates the problem of having to physically see the document in person at the same place at the same time to provide feedback. This has been helpful.
Pros
quick uploading
sorting documents by size or file name or type
edit documents and save without downloading
Cons
it does not handle back slashes like d/b/a well and creates subfolders unintentionally
it could be better about editing pdfs in addition to word documents online
it does not open well on certain cell phones
Likelihood to Recommend
It is appropriate when multiple users need to have access to documents at the same time. It is not as helpful if trying to edit pdfs and work collaboratively
Use it to track all real estate documents, photos, marketing materials, team notes, projects, and assignments, basically, every document we use is stored and shared via Dropbox. I have tried other products that were provided by the companies I've worked for but I always come back to Dropbox. I feel very lost and confused outside of Dropbox. It is time-saving and stress-saving! Completely worth every penny to have Dropbox as my partner!
Pros
Ability to keep files clean and updated
Ability to share specific files with outside users
Ability to use from any computer - at work, home, or traveling - anywhere! SO EASY!
Cons
Desktop to Online - if they were the same, it would save time trying to reacquaint myself with finding things
Likelihood to Recommend
We use a lot of the same documents for our clients - so when I use a template, it doesn't override my template automatically. I hate creating documents over and over, so I love that I can use a template and rename it without it automatically overriding my template and creating havoc for me the next time I need to use it.
I like the layout of documents when you first log in. It is a very simple file system and easy to find things that I need. I also like the design of it, it is very pleasing to the eye with the color scheme and layout.
Pros
Layout.
Simple filing system.
Color scheme.
Easy.
Cons
Compatibility.
Sharing.
Less features that I like than Google Drive.

I sometimes have to access files of images that people send to me through Dropbox. I definitely can't stop using it but it is not a preferred way that I like to work. I think maybe they could make things more compatible and I definitely get annoyed when I have to use it.
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.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I don't know whether it exists, yet assuming there was a method for getting programmed warnings each time a record is transferred to Dropbox, it would make data assembling a lot smoother. At this point, clients need to tell me through email that there is another record, which, on the off chance that not done right away, can get disregarded.
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.

Dropbox Business streamlines and organizes my file-sharing, storage, and saving procedures. It has also been updated to make adding and removing users easier. My experience with Dropbox Business has been nothing but positive since I began using it. For the price, it’s better than Google Drive.
It is being used across our entire organization. We use it to transfer large files that normally can not be emailed.

mobile app

Cons
pricing is on the high side
poor spell check features
Likelihood to Recommend
When we have to send large amount of documents securely I have found dropbox to meet these needs without issue. We can send either one large document or volumes of documents securely. Co-authoring does not work from your desktop, the documents must be accessed from dropbox.com for that to work.
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.
Pros
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.
Cons
I don't personally have any thing which I think Dropbox Business could improve upon. I am happy overall.
Likelihood to Recommend
Dropbox Business is especially well-suited for organizations that have multiple locations, especially with a lot of remote employees as a result of Covid-19. Once again, I can't think of a specific situation in which is less appropriate as it certainly meets all of the needs of our organization. It offers a lot in terms of being able to work together as a team.
