We use Dropbox across all teams on both desktop and mobile. It stores all our files and team collaboration documents both internally and externally.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dropbox is good for smaller teams and small departments where real-time collaboration is not necessary. When using it across multiple users, conflicted copies become more of an issue and can cause inefficient use of time. It works well as a way to store documents safely and securely but not so much as a workplace hub.

Good for small businesses
