Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dropbox to store all of our historic documents for record-keeping and onboarding. Some functions of the organization also use it as a collaborative working space. We often need a place to work on live documents together, so Dropbox presents a decent medium to allow us to do so.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Keeps files in a steady location for easy access
Enables saving locally
Decent search function within files

Cons

Took away very good integration with Google G Suite
Word for the web collaboration is lacking
Sometimes speed is wanting

Return on Investment

Dropbox enables us to be more productive through collaboration
It has made finding files more efficient for teams that use it
It works against file loss that can come with some recordkeeping practices.

Alternatives Considered

Likelihood to Recommend

Dropbox is particularly well-positioned to be a repository for institutional record-keeping in a way that is pretty easily accessible. It lets one read documents in a user-friendly way and makes it pretty easy to share things. However, its collaborative functions took a major hit after they ended their integration with Google G Suite.
