Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

As an administrator in an educational setting, I have been using Dropbox professionally for years. It is easy to store and send documents, share files with other Dropbox users and non-Dropbox users, and I don't have to worry about storing large documents on my computer because of the large storage capacity in my Dropbox folders. I also have the peace of mind that I can access my files at home if I need to, because I can log onto my Dropbox wherever I am--even on my phone or iPad. The mobile application lets me access files on the go if I need to.
  • Can store large files
  • Is easy to organize and re-organize as needed
  • Sharing files and documents with other Dropbox and non-Dropbox users is very easy.
  • Have to remember to sync online-only, since large files will take up space on your computer
  • Sometimes the "sort-by" options could be better in the application
  • Faster ability to send folders or lots of documents
  • Can get documents to publisher quickly
  • Very quick set-up and ready to use.
I really like the design and layout of Dropbox, and it just seems easier to use. It can fully integrate with your computer with the desktop application, and the company pricing makes it easy for everyone to have access and use collectively. While most people do have Google accounts, not everyone has experience using Google Drive and we don't have a professional set-up with our institution (that I'm aware of).

Do you think Dropbox delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Dropbox's feature set?

Yes

Did Dropbox live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

Dropbox is well suited for cross-department or cross-institution collaboration, when you might not have access to the same file systems. Dropbox allows you to share and collaborate easily and have a shared space for storage. It also easily tracks who has access to files and lets you download to your computer if needed.
