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.

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
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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Must-have cloud storage
Our marketing department currently uses Dropbox Business to facilitate large file data transfers, proofing, and overall content storage.

Our organization is a content powerhouse, so having an easy system to use is critical for efficiency in our work.

- Simple categorization of assets
- Starting to be blocked by certain agencies and companies
- No real categorization feature like a mainstream DAM
