(126-150 of 606)Dropbox for design team functionality
- Desktop sync
- Folder organization
- Large storage
- Creating sharing links - we've had issues with this before. The UI for creating a sharable link for a member outside the Dropbox account is not very intuitive.
An oldie but goodie.
- Accessibility.
- Organization folders.
- Availability
- Sometimes too vast.
- Better organization.
- Personalization
Dropbox!
- file management
- sharing links to specific files
Pretty good but has some improvements that could be helpful.
- We store board meeting files from the agenda prep, final agenda, resolutions, meeting minutes, actions, and more and can send the entire folder to our board for ease of finding and referencing.
- I use dropbox to store all of our accounting and financial data that can then be used by auditors at the end of the year.
- I appreciate the search function in dropbox so I can locate files that may not have been saved in the best location for later retrieval.
- Changing the name of files directly in dropbox would be useful. I've found spelling errors or new naming conventions don't happen easily when you need to download and resave with a new name or the file link is broken.
- Searching for batch documents with the similar name in them to copy and save would be helpful, i.e. board resolutions. Maybe there's a way to do this and it's user error in not knowing how. I can search for the files but I need to move them all at once to a new location.
Powerful Organizational Tool!
- Large capacity for storing files
- Tagging capability for finding files in various locations
- Folder organization
- Color Coordination
- I also don't like the update where you can see different files in the folder instead of the folder icon because it looks visually messier, I'd prefer this feature to be optional/hidden and revealed when you hover over a folder
- Being able to hide or lock folders that may be within a shared folder from access
Mic drop on Dropbox!
- Keeps workers in the same office connected
- Makes working remotely easily possible
- Flexible set up allow us to control the file creation and maintenance
- Gives many file types to save under making multiple softwares to be accommodated for storing
- Maybe just a bit more storage space for the price
- A function to drop off files (with permission) that have been unused for a specified period of time to keep storage under control and records clean
- Really can't think of any other, we like Dropbox!
One thing that it lacks (didn't think to include in previous comments) is real time update or inability to "create a conflicted copy" when a second person tries to open the file when it is already open.

Great product

- Good for remote work
Dropbox is a great tool to use getting big files to clients.
- Clearly see if files are still being uploaded.
- Ease of uploading multiple files into folders.
- Ease of creating folders.
- Ease of sharing specific files with others.
- Have multiple times tried to share a folder and share the entire Dropbox instead.
- When I do share a folder, I consistently get requests from people to get access to the entire Dropbox - I don't think they understand what they are requesting access to.
- it would be nice if the search function was easier to work with.
- Finding a folder shared with me that I did not create sometimes causes issues with where the folder went.
Dropbox for construction sites
- Uploading collaborative excel sheets
- Organisation of folder structure
- Keeping record of changes and by whom
- Sometimes poor communication in what is being uploaded
- Sometimes when backing up it seems to change all file change dates to the backup date
Not as good as Teams for example to work on the same thing at the same time. Probably only time I move away from it
Dropbox is the best at what it does
- Easy to share links
- Plenty of storage capacity
- Great search functionality.
- Signs me out in the middle of a search
Dropbox - Great Place for Images!

Great for running a busy business smoothly
- Cloud Storage
- Sharing large files
- Automatic file backups
- Hard to find options to downgrade to a different plan when our business needs changed
Simple & elegant SME server
- Access via multiple platforms
- Integrations with Apple for simple uploading & access
- Offline activity with immediate uploading when in wifi
- File access tracking
- Sharing folders outside of organisation (such as contractors/consultants) can sometimes be clunky & want to add them to my organisation for a fee.
- Took a while to learn how to give different users access to different folders. Still struggling to make this a simple action to be honest!
- Retrospective activity reports of file/folder activity is difficult to navigate and I actually haven't worked out how to do it
Great Use for Teams
- Organized

- Can access offline

- maybe password lock on files

In My Opinion, Dropbox Lied
- Not customer support
- In my opinion, not lying to your customers
- In my opinion, not changing plans from unlimited to limited
Dropbox does it all.
- File syncing.
- Ease of use.
- Graphic interface.
- N/A
Been using it from the start, and likely always will
- Provides a homebase where we can keep our files
- It's visually appealing and easy to track items
- It's nice to be able to share files with people who don't have Dropbox accounts
- Sometimes (often-times) it's slow when using it on the web
- It often won't allow us to change the title of a file. For instance, someone may forget to capitalize a letter, and if we try to change it, Dropbox will not allow us to do so since it's the same title
- We often accidentally move a folder and try to undo, but the undo function does not always work
- It does not display images in MP3 or AIF files
BUY DROPBOX NOW! you won't regret it!!!
- Organizes
- Community Sharing.
- Ease of Use.
- Shareability externally.
- backup files.
- lack of security (missing encryption option).
- Possibly slows down computer because so much is running.
Drop files in and drop them out, clever storage solution
- App on the desktop
- Project folders
- Access anywhere
- None, I think you are doing a great job
Love DB
- Stores files.
- easy access to files from various locations.
- Shares files.
- Can't think of anything to change.
