Our team uses Dropbox for collecting field work photos via links into our site admin and ultimately our invoices for clients. I also use Dropbox as our main file system for the company and my home system as well. We recently did an workflow analysis, and Google Drive won out, overwhelmingly, when we approached Dropbox for pro-rated refund, they said our annual service fee paid 30 days before was totally unrefundable, we're actually discontinuing this service as soon as possible.

I use Dropbox to share files between coworkers. I also use it to store files outside my local computer. Sharing files between coworkers is very useful for our organization because my company is remote and everyone is scattered across the country for their work locations. Dropbox lets us share things easily. It's especially useful for sharing video files because I work in design and coworkers can send me a video of what they're seeing on their screen, enabling me to quickly address the design issue without having to get on a zoom call and use screen sharing.

We utilize it to store files required for projects. This may be drawings or AutoCAD files. Along with using it to ensure that other team members have access to this all at the same time. It makes it extremely helpful that you can create various folders to organize things. Dropbox is great for our team's use.

We use Dropbox across all teams on both desktop and mobile. It stores all our files and team collaboration documents both internally and externally. We utilize it to keep track of edits, copies, and approvals. For external partners, it allows us to share files quickly and efficiently with password protected folders.

We use it to store all of our photos, videos, other content, we also use it to organize our working docs and decks. I go into our Dropbox at least 10 times a day to pull assets or work on projects. I wish the google doc files were smaller so that they would load and work faster. I also wish sharing files didn't have so many glitches.

Saving purchase orders, important docs, etc- we use it as our main connector of documents. Our team is remote, and what's great here is that no matter what email platform one has and where anyone is in the world, Dropbox is accessible. We find this is better than possibly having connection issues.

I use Dropbox to share lesson material and shared projects. For the moment I haven’t found any problem. The scope of my use cases is to share material with all my colleagues to work together on shared work. The main topic is cybersecurity security, covering aspects from hardware security to network security. We also share laboratory material concerning the projects and exercises we do to practice on previous topics. The usage of Dropbox is very good for our purposes because it permits us to share all the material in real-time and in a very simple way.

We work with international staff so Dropbox is vital for us. It is easy to use and share the information with all my colleagues, it is faster and I can trust it. I can rely on the system and the interface is friendly and easy to follow up. When I have a mistake I can recover the information and that is very useful and I'm very happy with the services so far

I use Dropbox for document sharing among partners and business collaborators to eliminate the need for bottlenecking our email inboxes. We set up specific folders that have certain users and permissions where we share documents and collaborate on projects. I have used it with clients, partners, and even my peer affiliate group to share ideas.

Our Design Team uses Dropbox to save, organize and share large files amongst internal team members and external vendors. Dropbox enables us to save files online instead of locally on a machine and then easily share them amongst ourselves and other departments, external vendors, etc. with ease. It also provides us large storage space so we don't have to worry about running out of storage on our local machines.

Dropbox is used to sort and file away all our electronically scanned documents so that teammates may access information and we can quickly look up important information regarding our different properties, entities, and other business-related activities. We use Dropbox on a weekly to daily basis to look for information and share things with others across the cloud-based server.

We store all of our files on DropBox. We use it for personnel information, document housing, and to create and share new files as needed. It addresses the problem of having documents in several different places (on people's individual desktops, in a filing cabinet, saved in Excel, Word, etc. We were having too many issues finding the documents we needed without searching several different places before we started using Dropbox.

We use Dropbox as our company's file database platform. We need version control and file-sharing capabilities that Dropbox provides. Our use case is just across internal file sharing and is used concurrently with the Google Drive ecosystem.

My scientific research generates a lot of data. Finding it in lab books can cost a lot of time. I store all my scientific data in Dropbox and Dropbox paper. It's great as it allows me to keep related information together and to search for it easily. Everything from data, methods, notes to papers for publication can be stored easily and accessed when needed. I can also share information easily with my fellow colleagues.

we use Dropbox everyday, it is one of our main server to save docs. it is so convenient that for those who have shared access of the folders, we can view the changes in files immediately and share with others using the link it created. the only issue of using Dropbox maybe syncing issue.

We use Dropbox for several aspects of our organization—we use Dropbox as cloud storage, to collaborate on a variety of projects including Word, Excel, and PSD files, and as a repository for ProPresenter media. Dropbox is essential to our workflow and we use it in the office, on the go through our mobile app, and when we work offsite. We could not support in-house the infrastructure nor the manpower needed to effectively accomplish what Dropbox does—plus they have years of an established reputation.
