Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox
Dropbox is used throughout multiple departments to share internal and external documents. The organization is split into different business units, so I can only speak to as how the marketing department uses it. It addresses the issue of sharing files and folders with clients that would normally need to be emailed with multiple emails.
- Dropbox is extremely user-friendly. The drag and drop interface is very easy to use and the user experience is superb.
- The "how to" guide when someone first uses the application is helpful.
- Being able to download a desktop integration is definitely a strength.
- I think the sharing option could be expanded upon - maybe the sharing link is autogenerated and copied to the clipboard.
- Downloading the desktop version could be streamlined.
- Dropbox has simplified sharing our large print files with our print vendors - therefore speeding up production, having a positive impact on our department.
- Being able to share documents when not in the office has helped productivity.
I've used Google Drive before and although it is convenient to use, I enjoy having a completely separate Dropbox account specifically for my current company's files. With Google, you need to sign into your Google account and sometimes I'll be signed into my personal gmail account and keeping all of the logins and files separate can be a headache. That's why I enjoy using a completely separate application for work files.
