We use it as a staff cloud and to share resources amongst teams. It helps keep track of file versions. We've implemented this across our staff as a way to distribute things like culture codes, handbooks, and then deliverables from our creative team.
- Easy file management.
- Permissions for certain people or groups.
- Easy sharing of links and resources.
- Video playback can be spotty with load times.
- Search can be clunky when there are multiple files with similar names.

Improve on Dropbox.
We use Dropbox every day to manage engagements with clients. This involves capturing their materials and even taking notes to keep everything together. Dropbox is a heavy part of our day-to-day workflow and is how we manage everything to do with our clients. There isn't anything else we'd consider due to the level of security Dropbox provides.
- Keeps all materials together.
- Allows for in depth note taking.
- Integrates well with our tools.
- It is hard to manage all the files.
- Things get buried.

Dropbox Keeps our Business Going.
We use Dropbox for file storage and sharing between members of our organization and members outside.

We would recommend Dropbox and will continue to use it as we can access files from cell phones, iPads, and computers.

Value for money subscription.
I have 100s of GBs of data that I need to quickly analyze across devices as well as save for long periods of time. I use this service on all my devices to keep them in sync, and so do my friends. A majority of software, such as Emacs, that I use on multiple devices stays in sync via Dropbox. Unlike alternative cloud storage services, dropbox provides a Linux client, which is absolutely necessary for my needs. I have been using it for 10+ years, and now my storage requirements have increased to a couple of terabytes, personally. Dropbox is value for money and quite convenient.
- Share data.
- Keep softwares in sync via data sharing.
- Store huge amounts of data for quick access.
- Pricing for students could be better.
- On some proxy networks, sometimes it fails to work on some PCs in my lab.
- Allowing more free devices could be helpful for beginners.

every thing use
It is important for me to have access to my files everywhere, to share information anywhere, organized files anywhere and update them anywhere. This has been a positive experience for me to have dropbox and it is why I still use today. I had updated 3 years ago because my private practice was growing and has been helpful.
- make it to access file easier
- moving files in dropbox easier
- adding files easier
- accessing the same files on different devices has been a challenge to navigate.

Easy, Reliable, Cost Effective
For Gardner & Co. I use it daily for our client files. For Harmony Inc and My chorus I use it as a storage for planning and sharing documents. Gardner & Co is a professional consulting (speaking) and education; Harmony Inc is a non-profit and volunteer organization with users across the US & Canada.
- Store items that I can access in day-to-day setting, collaborating with my team
- Access with browser or with file explorer
- Share documents (with versioning) with team members
- The refresh rate can be different based upon your operating system and access. This can be frustrating when you are working with a team member, or on a document at the same time.

We keep all documents that need to be saved to Dropbox. With having this platform anyone with access (staff) can access the files saved under the "General" network of files. It is easy to organize, create, edit each file that is saved within Dropbox. It is a safe and easy way to transfer documents to others not on your "network".

- Transfer or share files
- Multiple users
- Ease of use
- Securing individual files
- Look the same on mobile and desktop

Dropbox is my go-to for hassle-free file sharing and storage. It's a game-changer in collaborative work, offering a user-friendly experience. While it nails most tasks, I've noticed some quirks, especially with Storyline where saving can be finicky. Despite that, Dropbox is still my trusted companion for smooth document management.

Drop it in Dropbox like it's hot!
I use Dropbox constantly. It allows me to share communications and files safely and securely with corporate and department heads in real time. I also like that it shows me who is currently accessing a file that I am trying to access.
- Real time updates to files and communications
- Information is safe and secure
- Notifies me when files have been updated by others
- Informs me when I am trying to access a file if another user already has it open
- Allows me to delete a file for everyone or just me
- The Dropbox Icon that appears when a file is opened while it serves an important function can be annoying because of its size
- When doing a search for a file, Dropbox doesn't clearly display where the file is located for future reference
- Recent files don't reflect accurately across different devices. If I open and work with a file on my laptop, it won't show as a recent file on my desktop.

Dropbox is simple and user friendly
Dropbox is great because it gives me the simplicity of being able to easily send a file or multiple files to a customer or collage without have to send multiple emails because the file or files are too large for a simple email server to transact. Drop box also helps us in sending one set of drawings to multiple vendors so everyone can download the same version of the file and we know that another version may not have slipped through the cracks.
- Simple
- User Friendly
- Security
- Price to add more users
- Login Screen is sometimes hard to find

Great product, a must have for Photographers
Photography uses - delivery files to clients, store image archive as a back up in the cloud for when I travel. It's great to access files while traveling and to feel like my files are protected if a hard drive fails. It's great to use to deliver images to clients, as well.
- Easy to use
- Always adding new features
- Allows all file types and large files
- Fee is high
- Could be a bit easier to use
- Not sure what else

Easy and simple yet powerful file sharing tool
We use it to store and share internal documentation, but mainly to share things externally with partners and other stakeholders. It's very easy to create a shared folder where they can upload files. It's also a tool that everyone knows, so it's easy to request to people that the use it for sharing files.
- Great usability
- Easy implementation
- Different policies for sharing available
- Some areas could be still easier and have too many options
- Home screen is cluttered

"Thanks a ton for the 'Lock editing' feature!" said a designer.
The Design Lead and all the Design team members use Dropbox to store various design files. Dropbox is convenient and easy to use. If a new member joins in, he simply needs to download and install the desktop app and have access to all the files, once the files are synced. If one can't find a file in the folders, we simply share the dropbox link over a message with each other. Dropbox was overall good to use except one feature that I suggested in my last interview call with Dropbox Team, back in September. I had discussed with them how it causes issues if someone's on the file making edits or has opened the file, so that as a designer the double work can be prevented. But now I see that it been taken care of. Helpful features like Activity, Version history, Lock editing have been added. Thanks a ton for the Lock editing feature, it's definitely going to help us designers and improve our experience with Dropbox. Keep up the good work Dropbox Team!
- Lock editing feature
- Make files available online/ offline
- Ease of use
- Activity and version history
- No improvements required. Dropbox is in good shape as of now.

Best Storage Software to date
I use Dropbox daily to store documents, keep track of case information, send files and saved documents. This is a just a small explanation of what we use the Dropbox for here at our company. We are able to share a file and give access to our Dropbox to others who we collaborate with that are not in our offices.
- Allows for storage of our many documents
- Allows us to give access to others not in our offices
- Allows for file sharing
- The sharing ability
- The capability to create multiple accounts
- everything else is great

Great storage and file transfer solution
Working across multiple locations, Dropbox replaced the need for a server as well as the ongoing costs associated with that.
It also allows us to transfer files from our locations to suppliers as well as clients, with tracked downloads.
Although we have our own backup systems, we have peace of mind knowing that Dropbox protects our data.

Works well for what we need it for!
In our dynamic organization, integrating Dropbox has been a game-changer, elevating our collaborative efforts to unprecedented heights. Substituting traditional VPNs and file storage solutions, Dropbox seamlessly streamlines our workflow, fostering real-time collaboration irrespective of geographical constraints. This cloud-based gem transcends mere file sharing; it's a virtual workspace, a nexus of innovation. Its intuitive interface enhances accessibility, allowing our team to synchronize, edit, and share documents effortlessly. Unshackled from the limitations of traditional storage, Dropbox empowers us with unparalleled flexibility, ensuring that our projects evolve organically. It's not just file storage; it's a conduit for creativity, a digital symphony orchestrating seamless connectivity.
- Lots of storage
- Allows for many users
- Can use from anywhere
- I worry about security
- I wish there was more storage without having to be online.
- The online format is not as functional or user friendly as the one that is downloaded to my computer.

Can't imagine working without it
Everything we do, we do through dropbox so it's our central hub. Every team has their own folders and the main programs we use are microsoft and keynote and everyone has a macbook. Although we know we can use it online, the majority of the company sync their documents so that we have general access without having to be constantly downloading files. With a lot of shared files, dropbox makes getting real time updates easy no matter where we are working from, I think this works best for Keynote files.
- Syncing files to allow live updates between the teams
- Alerting you when others are in your files
- Being able to restore files when clashes occur
- It would be great if multiple people could work on one document at once, like you can do on google docs
- It would be great if you could somehow merge conflicted files
