Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dropbox to easily access all client information, project folders, drawings, reports, and in progress models that are presently being worked on for clients. It provides easy remote access across our organization which is especially helpful since we have multiple office locations in the US. We store a variety of files via Dropbox. This product has also proven helpful when we need to recover old versions of a file.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dropbox is a very well suited product for our company because we are able to store our massive amount of files to one location that is easily accessible from either in the office or remote.

It is less appropriate if files are not sycing in real time especially when our company is on a tight deadline for our client. There are times when I have to wait more than 15 minutes for the files to sync even when I am connected to our VPN.
