Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Dropbox is utilized as a central file-sharing service. My team and I are located at a headquarters building, but our technicians and foremen travel to different jobsites in different cities and states. Dropbox allows us to relay critical files to our employees and also provides a central location for document and progress updates from the field in order to be reviewed by management before final submission to our clients.
  • Secure storage.
  • Instant access to new uploads.
  • Extensive levels of access or permissions for sensitive files.
  • The ability to create and label multiple folders at one time would be nice in my opinion.
  • I don't have hard numbers, but it certainly allows us to update our own systems and therefore update our clients about project progress in real-time.

Do you think Dropbox delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

Uploading or transferring files that are then immediately accessible from off-site locations is great. Many other file-sharing platforms have significant delays in cloud access and update wait times.

Evaluating Dropbox and Competitors

Not Sure
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
I didn't make the decision, but with most of our non-administrative operations being field operations - Dropbox helps us keep our clients informed about progress in the field without the need for delays in updates caused by travel to to jobsites.
