Boxing Dropbox
We use it across the organization. It is a good backup with history support and helps me easily share content with different team members in my organization and/or clients.
- It has top-notch security, which is highly appreciated by my clients.
- The history feature saved us numerous amounts of time from re-doing work.
- Ability to track who made changes to a document, and comment on it helped us with keeping content organized and avoiding conflicts.
- Recently we started integrating Dropbox into other product management and communication tools such as Slack and Monday. Works really good.
- Once we had a major problem where one of the employee accidentally deleted lots of data and had to restore. It appears that this mechanism work much less effective than restoring a group of files. Eventually it took Dropbox about 2 months with resolving the issue, and us additional 2 weeks of cleanup afterwards.
- Dropbox is getting very expensive and there are today some alternatives that have better price to value ratio.
- Ability to work seamlessly from my file explorer without using the website interface
- Content is integrated naturally on my pc (without "my content" and "shared with me" which are very confusing)
- Ability of the admin to see who deleted content and when, and then restore it

- When we had to restore a large portion of our database, it took Dropbox about 2 month to handle the problem, and eventually we got a very huge mess. Some of the files were never restored, and we lost money and reputation. Dropbox, on their part, did not do but the bare minimum to help us with this, nor they took responsibility for their inability to supply us with the backup and restore features they were committed to.
- Google Drive, OneDrive and Copy
Google Drive UI is VERY messy. It is not convenient to use, and its integration to the desktop is arbitrary...
OneDrive sync functions tend to break and lots of time we found ourselves wondering why a work we just saved disappeared, only to find out that it was overridden by the server version, and that our newer version is available as a revision of the server...
Copy was actually pretty decent and cost effective, but the product was cancelled.

Because of the very high price of Dropbox, we only allowed a third of our employees to use it. These are the people who handle content and/or graphics within our company. Also the CEO and COO are using Dropbox, with the COO handling all the files and making sure the content is backed up on external drive weekly.

Actually, no skill is needed, since the Desktop software is very intuitive. We never had a problem with a user not knowing what to do with Dropbox. To use the more advanced feature, a basic need in SAAS will help, as users will need to go to the Dropbox admin site and look for their deleted file. On the other hand, Dropbox did a very good job with adding a small widget to MS Office, enabling the user to reach most of the needed function straight from the widget.
- Share content with clients
- Backup
- Organize the content to be easily reachable to my team members from anywhere
- We used Dropbox comments to review content with our clients
- Also used Dropbox to get content we needed to work on, when we were working abroad
- Some business meetings were saved because some very important content that was unreachable, was eventually retrieved from Dropbox
- We are currently exploring Paper and its functions
Yes
We used Copy, but sadly the product was discontinued.
We also reviewed Box, but it felt like Box is aimed for bigger companies than us.

- Prior Experience with the Product
Dropbox usability is top notch - Very easy to work with the Desktop app, and the admin site is very straight forward. Rarely we've had users with problems with the product. The only one problem we ever found, is that you can't share a sub-folder with a team member, if the folder itself is already shared with someone.
Probably not.
For the period we've been using Dropbox, we still think it is the most convenient product there is right now. I am very upset that the price per user is so high in Dropbox, thus forcing us to look for alternative, because otherwise, we would probably have stuck with this product for a very long time.

- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
Nothing was needed because of the easy integration, and we've used Dropbox almost from the day 1
- We've had to teach employees that deleting files on their computer will delete these files for the entire team
- We've needed to teach employees not to work on local folders
- no training
It was easy to learn without training, but accidents happened and employees deleted file they shouldn't have
- Use selective sync
- Have admin create and dictate the folder structure
- Use the public folder for essentials only
No - there is no facility to customize the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
There is no special configuration possible that I know of
Not Available
No

Sadly no
- Share files/folders with the team
- Send links to files/folders
- Send as a transfer file with receipt
- Manage activity and restore data
- The software itself is cumbersome, and I have no idea why it is needed
- Restoring a folder can be difficult
Yes
It works pretty well and I can easily find my Barings there.
The only issue I've found is that while uploading content to Dropbox on iPhone, the Dropbox app must be in focus and the phone screen should be always on (Which is annoying because it drains the battery and the phone is unusable at that time)

- Jotforms
- Nintex
- Office
- Clickup
We use Dropbox as a link to our files everywhere. It is easy as it connects with a press of a button and authentication
- Wordpress
I don't think so, but it would have been awesome if instead of uploading images from my PC I could just link them to Dropbox
- File import/export
Countless other business offer integration with Dropbox with a click of a button, so most of the time nothing is needed.
There is nothing to do
You purchase the licenses at their terms, and that's it

We've started with a standard version with one user paying, and the others using free accounts. Once the company grew to more than 5 employees, we've moved to the teams version in order to effectively sync everyone to the organization. This was made easy as a bit earlier Dropbox introduced the ability to have two accounts installed on the computer (Personal, and Professional)

Dropbox - Access your files anywhere
Dropbox is used to store files across our organization. Most employees use Dropbox to store all work-related files and share files across team members and different groups. We utilize Dropbox rather than paying and maintaining servers to store all of our corporate data either on-site or at a data center. It allows for easy file sharing and backing up data.
- File sharing across team members
- Backing up files
- Security of files
- Easy to use desktop interface
- Allows multiple people to edit files at the same time which can lead to duplicate files
- Software crashes from time to time causing files to not be synced
