I haven't used OneDrive but it is a default on some of my devices. I prefer dropbox because it is integrated with a number of other platforms. When uploading documents, it will provide a link for easy sharing with colleagues and that is helpful. It also gives an option to use it on the web or download the files locally, which saves space if you do the former and not the latter.

Just not as good as Google Drive but it's ok

Google Drive is hands down a better product and more versatile. I have a paid account and it is not expensive for a lot of storage. I don't think Dropbox can really compete, honestly. They just aren't as good and useable. I also think that Google has a lot more integrations. It is just all around better.

File sharing the best

That it is so natural to transfer an archive or pictures to Dropbox and that it is so easy to impart that material to others through email! This is equivalent to transferring to Google Drive; be that as it may, for the individuals who are not Google Clients, I think this is simpler to share.

Dropbox Business is dependable, adaptable, and cost-effective for our businesses. On the inside, it’s comparable to other file-sharing and storage. Also, file access and navigation are much faster. We use it to share documents and store data and files for our business purposes. And I’ve never been convinced of other tools’ integrity or dependability. Dropbox Business has good connectivity and is smooth to use.

I chose Dropbox Business because it is affordable, reliable, and easy to customize.
Additionally, it offers ample storage space for all our files.

All the features you need.

Dropbox Business just works better across multiple platforms without taking up too many resources locally. I use iCloud for my personal stuff as well, but would never even think of using it across an entire organization. The access and navigation to documents is way easier in my opinion and I've never been convinced of the security integrity of Box.

Dropbox Business holds up against the other big boys like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. If you already use those platforms, it would probably make sense to use them. But many users already used Dropbox and were familiar with it. And if you don't already have a solution, Dropbox is a quick, easy solution.

Microsoft Teams works well but doesn't save files well and sometimes pieces go missing. [In] Dropbox Business, you can work simultaneously and files don't get corrupted. It is more user-friendly and makes working more efficient.

Great for organization, a little less so for live collaboration

Dropbox Business does a better job and document organization and sharing compared to Google Drive. Google Drive by default gives you a large list of files for which you create folders and navigating through those can be a hassle. Dropbox Business gives you a good folder structure and navigation immediately. Additionally, providing granular sharing or uploading of a folder or collection of documents works easier in Dropbox Business compared to Google Drive.

Dropbox Business is basically an industry standard for file storage at this point and most clients and team members will be familiar with it. Sharefile’s main advantage is its security. It provides more security options than Dropbox. The only downside that our team saw with Sharefile was that our clients were not familiar with the platform so we had to spend more time walking them through how to access files.

Dropbox Business makes document sharing easy.

Dropbox Business seemed to have many more features when we rated it against our scorecard and was head and shoulders above MyWorkDrive and eFileCabinet. Both competing products seemed more primitive or basic when compared to Dropbox Business. I realize that many features go unused, but Dropbox Business has the right features that we need and is easy to use. I'm sure the other products are also good, but this one was just better suited for what we were doing at the time.

Sometimes using products outside the Microsoft ecosystem forces competition and helps to get improvements fast tracked which benefits everyone. Dropbox Business is designed from the ground up as opposed to yet another add on to a wider set of software applications. User experience within the organization helped to shape the decision to adopt Dropbox but it will only be applicable until such time the likes of say OneDrive becomes economically too difficult to ignore as part of the Microsoft stack.

The services like OneDrive and Google Drive are pretty identical but, OneDrive for business is more cost-effective as it already is included in all of our user's Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions. They all similar functionality but at the end of the day if we can use a one-stop shop that can offer the same or similar service then we will utilize it. We have to make our employees work easier with the least amount of software to do their jobs.

Great for collaborating with contractors!

We also use Microsoft OneDrive, but I prefer Dropbox Business. It’s more intuitive, and frankly, more people have it. We work with a lot of contractors, and almost all of them have Dropbox accounts. It makes it easier to use what everyone else is using. Also, I love the notes feature for audio/video files in Dropbox Business. We use it all the time.

Google Drive is a lot cheaper and allows for more GB than Dropbox Business. Hightail also offers a fair amount of storage space and is about the same price as Dropbox. Google Drive offers 15gb and Dropbox only 2gb however there are ways to get more storage. Dropbox though could sync file across multiple devices, platforms. Google Drive mobile app is more friendly and allows you to share files on the mobile app. Hightail allows for 10gb and has mobile, desktop user friendly access. Hightail has sharepoint integration.

Dropbox Business - Great market recognition and use case but no A's in granular security

We mainly selected Dropbox business for the limited deployments are due to the customers we have already using them. They are not our centralized system of choice.

Dropbox Business offers very similar file sharing via the cloud features compared to Ms OneDrive & Box. One major advantage with Dropbox Business is the desktop app. With the app users can monitor both a business Dropbox account as well as their own personal Dropbox account. None of the competitors seem to provide this feature.
