Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

We use Dropbox to store all of our project documents and to share plans as well as design books with trades. Architectural plans and interior design books are typically quite large files that cannot be sent as attachments, etc., usig Dropbox allows us to share all needed information with everybody who needs it in real time. It also allows cloud storage for living documents that are shared. Both are huge for us as a company.

Pros

  • Shares large files with outside users
  • Allows sharing of living documents within our organization
  • Tracks changes, to know who changed or deleted something

Cons

  • The online application is a bit more clunky than the PC loaded app in my opinion. Would be nice if the online application worked as smoothly.
  • Sometimes the PC app does not update immediately and requires a reboot to make sure the files are syncing properly I've found.
  • Prior to being able to share documents via Dropbox, we would have to print 15-20 sets of architectural plans at the cost of $60-100/set for the purposes of bidding per job. Often times would then need to print additional sets after final permit. We now only print 3 sets for our own use. Huge savings.

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

We are a residential construction company and need to share very large files with trades, engineers, architects and clients. Using Dropbox allows us to share these files with ease and also control if it is read only vs editable. With Dropbox, we can send one concise email to the target audience with any and all links needed, not breaking up the communication into disjointed emails with smaller attachments.
