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.

- In order to configure your company branding, you need to have a certain amount of paid users under the account

Great for collaborating with contractors!
I have used a personal Dropbox for years, so I was excited to use it in the workplace as well. We needed a storage and file share solution that could quickly transfer 4K videos. We also use Microsoft OneDrive, but we ran out of space. My boss and I both use Dropbox for personal use, so it was an easy transition.
- Easy, intuitive interface.
- Sync with desktop.
- Push-button sharing.
- I’d like to customize the sharing settings more easily.
- More storage space is always a need.
- More perks for long-standing customers.

Dropbox for Business
I use Dropbox within the math department at Davidson Academy. We have a departmental dropbox with shared folders as well as a subfolder for each individual within the department.
- Real-time Shared Documents
- Ability to access all department documents in one place
- Ability to edit work without having to send a single document back and forth between team members.
- I wish there was a way to better manage conflicted copies of documents.

Dropbox Business is a go-to for file sharing
We use Dropbox Business across our department, whole company as well as with vendors. It allows for more storage so we could easily share photos, large documents even to vendors. It makes the process a lot easier, faster, it's secure, allows a significant amount of storage.
- store large amount files, photos, videos in organized way
- easily share files among colleagues, vendors
- easy to navigate the platform
- access files quickly , filter by searching
- unable to tag files, photos , could be better way to organize photos
- synchronizing is a little slow
- large files take long to load
- mobile version could be more user friendly

Dropbox Business - Great market recognition and use case but no A's in granular security
Dropbox has not been fully adopted at our company but with so many personal preferences to file storage we find ourselves supporting elements of it all over our network or others. Currently it is being used within certain aspects of our company but more so when our end customer uses it. It solves a quick and easy to use file system/file sharing system that is not complicated and straight forward.
- Dropbox Business is quick to deploy
- The learning curve to use Dropbox when coming from other file services is easy
- Dropbox is used in a lot of personal file spaces so working with the business element is not much change
- Their ability to enhanced security
- Child parent relationship permission settings
- Proactive notification based of criteria when trying to control centralized filing errors

Dropbox with a Mike drop
Dropbox Business has been a life saver for my business, my clients snd my colleagues. We have locations all over North America and need to maintain consistency between them.

- Maintains consistency with multiple locations
- Files that may be accidental deleted can be restored
- Easy to use
- Easy to train all users
- A note to user prior to deleting a file

- would be nice if multiple users could modify documents at the same time and see modifications by others

Share and collaborate with unlimited space.
We use Dropbox Business for data rooms we set up for potential and existing clients. We chose DB for the unlimited space and the ability to collaborate and control what is shared. The platform is well-known and user-friendly which is important to our clients.
- User-friendly platform is accessible to everyone, regardless of tech experience.
- The ability to easily collaborate with a team.
- Editing files in real-time within the app.
- I wish the price for a business account was less expensive.

Dropbox vs Google drive

- simple to understand its usage
- it could improve the way that folders are created
- there is also room to improve notifications received when changes are done
- visual organisation could also be improved
Whole organization - cloud based file sharing, no central servers in use
- File syncing
- File sharing outside of organization
- LAN Based Synchronization for new copies
- File history for admins for accidental deletes
- Policy enforcement on internal team
- provides a lot of space
- Cost
- Conflicted Copies

Dropbox Review
We primarily use it to swap video and image files between us and our clients for Amazon listings. It makes it super easy to share various documents across platforms and between different individuals and agencies. Especially when you are attempting to share larger files it is a great option to streamline that process.
- Sharing large files between clients
- Streamline the sharing process of assets
- Makes integrating new clients information and assets seamless
- Not as user friendly as google drive or other cloud based softwares
- I wish that it was integrated into your browser like google drive but I am not sure if that is possible
- I would say that it works great for what is advertised but there are better options out there in my opinion.

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.

Dropbox Business is a workspace.
Dropbox Business is used is my business unit as our major cloud file storage platform. It is secured , accessible across different mediums ( mobile and computer) , and it integrates with a host of third party applications deployed in my organization.
For me, I see Dropbox Business as more than a file storage platform, I see it as a workspace where efficient collaboration takes place.

Drop your files in Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business allows us to share files with each other, customers, and vendors. This helps us because we work with many people that we can't just go see. So the ability to share drawings, files, pictures, and videos is essential to moving a project forward. Dropbox helps us do that and makes sure we can access the information anywhere we can get online.
- The ability to share information.
- You can invite others to your files.
- You can keep the information separate and limit who gets access to what.
- The interface has been a little clunky at times and any time it updates you may have to relearn how to use it.
Dropbox Business is used by our Product and Design teams to showcase the work they're doing. It's a useful tool for sharing and previewing large files as well as collaborating once feedback is received.
We used to use Dropbox across the whole organisation but that changed due to overhead costs.
We used to use Dropbox across the whole organisation but that changed due to overhead costs.
- Great tool for previewing large files and sharing them quickly with people in and out of the organisation.
- Good collaboration tools - it's simple to give feedback during revisions.
- Nice UI and search function so it's easy to find files you're looking for.
- Some PDF previews can be a bit wonky in terms of colour, but downloading the file and viewing it fixes that issue.
- Overhead costs for larger organisations.

Dropbox is key for our business
We use Dropbox Business for all of our important files that required shared access. Internal employees, customers, and other 3rd parties all have varying levels of access to files in our Dropbox Business account. It makes it easy to share photos with creative teams, spreadsheets with wholesale customers, files for download to retail customers, and so on.
- User and group permissions are straightforward and easy to use
- Creating a link to share files takes no time at all and is easily revoked
- Web and desktop apps work seamlessly
- Smart Sync and Selective Sync allow you to save hard drive space by selecting what you need to sync
- They need to fix the ._Filename.doc (or any other file type) issue on the web version when syncing from Macs.

Great Product for Multi-User Sharing
Dropbox is used as a cloud-based file management tool for most of our organization. We use it both as a backup and as a way to share information easily without email attachments. We also occasionally use it for sharing large files or folders with outside vendors or other organizations. This is particularly handy with albums of photos.
- Backup information.
- Makes collaboration and sharing documents easy.
- Compatible with lots of tech including phones, laptops, etc.
- It can be a bit slow to navigate when you have a large amount of folders backed up.
- Automatic imports can be a bit worrisome when sharing content.
- Tough for some older users.

With Dropbox Business, your business will never drop the ball!
Dropbox Business was (and still is) being used for safe file storage and easy and comfortable file exchange. It allowed us to use shared files between locations and devices quickly. We have been using it on several web-browsers as well as on mobile devices. Windows plugin that enabled shared folders inside native Windows File Explorer was especially useful as it allowed us to very quickly and comfortably accessed the files. Live-sharing and live-control over our shared files collection were superb, and real-time synchronization between devices using the same account was excellent.
- Real-life access to shared files folder between devices
- Great native apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS
- Easy file sharing and management
- Remote control, allowing the user to erase stolen quickly, lost or damaged devices
- Sometimes synchronization has to be manually triggered by launching the Dropbox app on mobile devices.
- Mobile devices - some of them don't let the app run in the background due to the batter saving modes - but that is those devices settings, not the Dropbox issue.

No Brainer Cloud Storage Choice
Dropbox Business is used to sync files across multiple users' computers, and the entire organization uses it. We also use it to send large files to people outside of the organization rather than trying through email. Dropbox Business serves as a cloud-based backup for our files and a central location for anyone in the organization to locate images, documents, or software they need to install.
- Quick and easy synchronization to the cloud
- Ability to access information across platforms
- Price compared to other options
- Being able to handle communication over a VPN

Must-have cloud storage
Our marketing department currently uses Dropbox Business to facilitate large file data transfers, proofing, and overall content storage. It facilitates both internal use as a repository and external use for sharing content. Our organization is a content powerhouse, so having an easy system to use is critical for efficiency in our work.
- Easy sharing
- Simple categorization of assets
- Starting to be blocked by certain agencies and companies
- No real categorization feature like a mainstream DAM
Dropbox Business is used across all verticals in my organization. It is a one-stop solution for file storing and sharing. It is very flexible and stable when it comes to transferring large size files and documents. From the point of view security, it provides a great platform to store proprietary information using encryption key security. Such features are critical in helping organizations to trust and migrate exhaustively to cloud storage like Dropbox Business. Smart sync feature in the Dropbox Business allows you to sync and autosave files from your desktop to the cloud. This way, an auto backup is created the moment you start working on a file. Dropbox Business allows you to add members and share your folder with others. Dropbox Business integrates well with enterprise software, where information collaboration can take place across different software.
- Collaboration is very fast and secured.
- Document storage is seamless with auto arrange. Folder views are very graphical, and navigation is easy.
- Dropbox Business mobile phone app needs continuous updates, and the app only works after update.
- No traceability or tracking logs, this is a major issue.
