Dropbox

External share

Larger file share

seamless communication

Team Admin not needing license

Photos need to sync faster

share permission need to be more user friendly .

We are transferring large files and multiple files with various internal and external parties due to the ease of sharing files and folders.

Smart sync, so you don't have to worry about device space and search large file batches quickly.

Synchronizing a data file across organizations without the user having to do anything other than work is a significant benefit of cloud computing.

Allowing only the people who need it to have access is a huge perk and works well with other enterprise software.

Enhanced security features and installation could be more user-friendly; installing on a desktop could be confusing.

More file storage for free users would be great, as would better separation of personal and work files.

Customer service could be better, and uploading time could be faster, making it more efficient.

It is a fast and reliable cloud file sharing system.

It integrates well with macOS, making it easy to share files, control whether files are in the cloud or local, see the current sync status for each file, and more, right from the Finder. It also supports macOS file meta (keywords, color tags, etc.).

It's web-based file previews work very well and support a wide selection of file types.

It has useful and intuitive annotation / commenting features for files.

For large teams or large file sizes, it can become expensive.

Annotation features may be too basic for some types of jobs.

Simple user interface

Seamless integration

Easily sync files across various devices

Automatic backup of various files

Pricing options could be improved

The UX and UI of the Web client could be improved

Dropbox, a cloud-based storage service and an app for different systems, makes it possible to access data from multiple platforms.

Sharing files with others is simple and easy since it allows both external and internal parties to contribute to a data file that spans companies.

Choosing which files to save locally is simple and which are only available online, and it integrates seamlessly with our Windows computers.

File, picture, and video syncing happen automatically, so we don't have to worry about it what Dropbox makes it simple to do this.

Compared to Google Drive, Dropbox's initial setup is simpler and more intuitive.

Even the most basic plans don't seem to make sharing as easy as it could be.

With large files, synchronization takes longer than planned, and file text search has to be enhanced.

Safe Cloud Storage

Ability to Access Cloud on Multiple Devices

Ability to Store and Share Large Files

Search functionality could be better

Sometimes photos don't always sync right away

Organization could be better

Nothing comes to mind at this moment because of what they have done.

Stop randomly deleting files or at the very least make someone available who can fix your errors.

Image and PDF hosting

Asset Management

Internal assistance tools

If you don't know where to go, it's hard to get a image/pdf URL that you can use for hosting

Sharing management doesn't seem to be as intuitive

Accessibility

Structure

No Timely Customer Service Feedback

[I feel there is] No proper investigation if an account is closed

Customer Service [seems] like a BOT. Even though a response is received no real solution is reached.

Shared Access

Documents security

Fast uploading of files

Installation could be more user friendly sometimes one might get a bit lost when installing on desktop.

Increase file storage space for free users would be great if more storage was offered for free users.

The uploading time could be faster which will speed up the time when uploading files making it time efficient

File storage - space considerations aside, it's easy to use and intuitive for this purpose

Collaboration - after adding this functionality a few years ago, Dropbox can now rival Microsoft Sharepoint or Google Docs for realtime collaboration between team members on documents and related files.

Ease of use - Dropbox is intuitive and mirrors other file storage systems in terms of folders, sub-folders, and navigation, meaning it is easy to find, store, and share whatever you need.

Multiple accounts: many of us have a personal account and a professional account. It could be easier to switch between them either in the Dropbox OS app or within the browser.

Security and permissions: I've found it difficult to manage permissions around hidden folders and security hierarchies. It's easy to share something to someone with the same permissions, but I've experienced instances where two people (myself included) have different names for the same folder but can't access each other's files, without explanation for why the permissions are different.

Cloud based storage with easy access

Simple and easy to share files with other people

Easy to customize what files are stored locally or just online

Dropbox offers file sharing but lacks in true collaboration in some ways

From an organizational standpoint, Dropbox is a bit expensive

Because of the customization available, you need to know the program and the web client interface

Shared access

Document security

Volume and size of documents that can be stored

File organization is good

Better integration with Microsoft products - although it is OK.

Dropbox app can be installed on multiple systems, allowing for multiplatform access to files.

Dropbox allows for large files to be sent digitally [...] and has tiered pricing to fit any budget.

Dropbox doesn't have a time limit on [its] files like some other competitors, allowing for file access at your own pace.

At one point 2 gigs [were] deemed enough for the "Free" version of Dropbox and its competition. However as even the most simple picture from a phone gets larger, 2 gigs might no longer be enough. Might want to increase the free size to adjust for file size inflation.

Dropbox's app is very presumptive of updating itself every time you log on to a system that it's installed on. I know that's a feature you can turn off, but the assumption to turn that feature on by default is annoying.

Dropbox could use a phone app function that would initiate a download to a designated computer hard drive. It would eliminate having to see the file on your phone, go to your computer, turn it on and then download the file.

Securing our data

Coordination between employees

Seemless integration with our Windows computers

Our repository has grown with time. Replicating the entire repository on a new machine takes a long time.

You can share with people outside of Dropbox. That can be confusing for people who don't use Dropbox.

It would be helpful to have better differentiation between personal and work files.

Easy to setup and begin using

Simple for end users to get started working with

Meets our needs in a single facility

Seems secure

Could use some examples of hierarchy layout

Could use some simple online training

Create link to share file instantly

Grant access and permission to team member / clients to view/edit the file

Ability to track change history of the file

Syncing sometimes is slow if the file is large

Integrate with different messaging app would be nice (Team Chat, Skype)

Sometimes if multiple accessing / editing the same Microsoft Office file, it got stuck

Sharing large files and multiple files with various internal and external parties

Searching large file batches quickly

Allowing external and internal parties to contribute to a data file across organizations

Integrates well with other enterprise softwares (Word, Adobe, etc.)

File text search functionality needs continued improvement

Dropbox file security and fraud prevention needs improvement

Dropbox should continue to integrate with email and enterprise software interfaces for ease of use

Ease of sharing files and folder both internally and externally

Rollback of several versions in case a file is modified by accident or overwritten

Trash management for files or folders that are accidentally deleted so they can be recovered painlessly

Smart sync so you don't need to worry about how much space is taken up on your device

Background syncing that happens without needing to do anything other than work

Though this hasn't been our experience, some contractors have had issues with files not syncing properly

Initial installation could be a bit more user friendly

Not a fan of the newest change that involves opening the Dropbox app instead of the folder by default

Sharing between users

Fast syncing

Data integrity

Access control

UI can use some work, as at times it's not intuitive

Users still have confusion between what's living on the Dropbox cloud vs. what's stored locally on their devices

Syncing

Comments

File Storage

Collaborative

Messaging

File Sharing

Helps automatically backup data to the cloud.

Backup is almost instantaneous and does not require any effort from the user.

Makes data available from multiple devices connected to the cloud.

I hope dropbox increase their size limit for free users. 2GB is just not enough.

Their search functionality could be improved.

Apps like Paper don't add much to the productive process as of now.

Stores files

Allows global sharing

Uploads from mobile devices

Mobile video upload fails repeatedly.

Desktop CPU usage is extremely inefficient. It's transferring files - not a CPU intense process.

Desktop app occasionally shows incorrect file date and time.

Native operating system integration.

Fast file syncing (with local network sync).

Shared folder flexibility.

Version history on all files.

Recent moves to push into some sort of document management experience. I'm not interested in having a Dropbox dashboard pushed in my face all the time.

Dropbox has overreached on default OS-level privileges, it should not ask for full disk access or desktop control.

Many of its add-on services do not bring much-added value, they add complexity and are sometimes poorly executed (looking at you, Dropbox dot)

Cloud-based file storage

Computer file syncing

Ease of sharing files with others

Exceedingly affordable

Great user interface

When I use a browser to log in, the screen load is a little slow

Because of the above, I'll go to click on a folder but the screen image changes so I end up clicking on the wrong folder. This happens very often.

Every so often using 4 devices, if I don't stay logged in long enough the sync won't happen properly
