Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am a suburban accounting office in Perth, Western Australia trading as AXXO Accounting & Management. We use Dropbox for all our background administrative work in our firm, and prefer it to Google Drive, One Drive of Box. We are on the AU$184.67 / year plan which gives us 2 TB of storage, which is more than enough for our needs. We have found that using only one online storage solution, like Dropbox, for our firm keeps all file, documents, etc. in one safe location and we all know where to find information. Using Dropbox as our only location of all firm documents makes it easy to streamline our productivity as all members can access all our files and work on them simultaneously and they automatically sync. Dropbox is accessible wherever any team member is, in the office, at home or away as it is accessible on their devices from anywhere as it is in the cloud. We also use it to store photos and videos that we may need to sent to clients. This is possible because Dropbox allows large files, especially videos to be uploaded to it. We also use it to send clints documents to sign as it has a feature like document sign and it advises you when the document is signed. This feature is used for signing tax return documents for lodging with the Tax Office. We can also share specific folders and files with other people and clients outside the firm. This makes it easy to collaborate with them without lengthy emails. For example, when preparing a client tax return, they can upload their tax receipts and the tax documents. We can then ask any questions, etc. for any information we need extra to finish the tax return. All in all, Dropbox is a great repository for storing, collaborating and working between team members and working with clients in real time.
