Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox
I use Dropbox to send project files that are too big to email to clients. Working in the AEC industry, we are often having to send construction drawings to architects and contractors. These can be very big files so being able to send a Dropbox link makes it easy to ensure they received the files. Also, we can collaborate with Dropbox by putting in files that need to be reviewed by the other party and having a place where all the reviewed documents live that we can both access.
- Clearly see if files are still being uploaded.
- Ease of uploading multiple files into folders.
- Ease of creating folders.
- Ease of sharing specific files with others.
- Have multiple times tried to share a folder and share the entire Dropbox instead.
- When I do share a folder, I consistently get requests from people to get access to the entire Dropbox - I don't think they understand what they are requesting access to.
- it would be nice if the search function was easier to work with.
- Finding a folder shared with me that I did not create sometimes causes issues with where the folder went.
- Positive impact on getting clients what they need.
- The negative impact of that big jump in price is to have enough storage to not have to clear out folders constantly.
- Positive impact as Dropbox has become more common and multiple clients are familiar, so there is more ease.
Both FTP sites and/or Procore or other construction sites I have to use because our client uses them, but it can be difficult to find what I need or have to ask for access to something that I cannot see. I can see Dropbox having the same issues for someone not familiar with it, though.
