Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

My company has to manage and edit hundred of high-resolution image files along with other artwork files. We all need quick immediate access, and it needs to be always up-to-date. We started using Dropbox during the pandemic while we worked from home, and now that have evolved to a hybrid schedule, we continue to use Dropbox for it's ease of use.
  • Ability to preview image files on mac os
  • Easily see that files are up to date
  • Only sync the files I need
  • Every time I log in to Dropbox from the web browser it sends me an e-mail notification about possible suspicious activity. It never remembers the computers I frequently access it from.
  • I had to switch my Dropbox location to a removable hard drive (which I know they don't recommend), and that took ages to transfer the files over
  • It is on the pricey side
  • Dropbox allowed us to continue work during the pandemic.
  • Dropbox did what our IT department couldn't deliver. A reliable easy-to-use file management system.
  • Saved us time uploading and downloading files
We hoped to be able to use Microsoft OneDrive since we already subscribe to many of the Microsoft software options. But OneDrive did not perform how we wanted it to. We like having just one big shared chunk of data that we can all share and access. No need to manage permissions or invite other users to "share".

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to organize and share files that are high in quantity or high in file size I would definitely recommend Dropbox.

The only real pain point is if I'm sharing files with someone who does not already use Dropbox, convincing them to download and use another app or service is sometimes challenging.
