Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

We had some issues with file storage and sharing for very large files, and the workaround recommended by our IT department was to use Dropbox for our team to use to share large files that exceed maximum email attachment limits both internally and with our printer. Currently, it is only being used by our department.
  • User friendliness
  • Stability
  • Ease of setup
  • Enhanced security features
  • Customer service is not very good and difficult to get hold of
  • The help features and FAQ are frustrating to use because they send you round in circles.
  • It came in handy before we fully moved to cloud storage
  • It caused me to lose some time searching for answers to questions
  • It made it easy to access some docs while I was traveling for business
In all honesty, our organization is far more likely to implement or recommend Google Drive. I find file management easier on Google and prefer their platform overall. I only have control over the tool our team uses, and I plan to fight to use Google instead of using Dropbox. Service is pretty bad, even for paying customers.

Do you think Dropbox delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did Dropbox live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox again?

No

I think it's particularly good for individuals or sole proprietors. Our IT department had some concerns about using across our whole organization because they had some questions about security features (not from outside hacking but more along the lines of monitoring appropriate use by our enployees). I was also turned off by the bad customer service; it's hard to find the answers to questions.
