Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Although Dropbox isn't widely used within my organization, I personally use Dropbox on all of my work and personal computers as a shared filesystem that allows me to quickly and easily copy files across multiple computers, synchronize configuration files, and access commonly used documents and photos, etc.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Dropbox makes it dead simple to share files across multiple computers and/or devices
Easily back up files to the cloud
Ability to access shared files from multiple computers, mobile devices, or anything with a web browser

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any criticisms that I have with Dropbox

Return on Investment

Dropbox provides many productivity gains. It eliminates "sneaker net," USB thumb drives, and document version hell when collaborating on a shared document.
Reliable, up-to-date files/data

Likelihood to Recommend

Dropbox is great for maintaining a personal library of shared files that can be accessed online or from any computer or device. It's also great for providing a sharable link that can be used to access files. Although Dropbox provides plans for teams and large enterprise users, I don't have any experience with those aspects of their product. But judging by how simple and reliable their original personal Dropbox service is, I'm sure their other service offerings are just as wonderful.
