Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

We use Dropbox to share folders with potential buyers. In commercial real estate, there is due diligence that we must share with them. We use Dropbox to share these important documents with them. We love that we can create links with different permissions as we would not want certain people accessing the folders to alter any documents. That is a great feature to use.

Pros

  • Clean interface / organized
  • Different link permissions (view only, etc.)
  • Allows different file types & formats
  • Security upon sign in

Cons

  • Finding folders on the page when you have many of them created
  • You do control + F but sometimes it is still cumbersome
  • Sometimes there are issues where "you don't have permission" to share certain files (even if you are the creator of the folder)
  • Great effect on ROI
  • If we could not share our files with potential buyers in an easy manner, our revenue would suffer significantly
  • Not to mention the time it saves having this software in place
  • This allows our brokers to spend less time on admin tasks & more on sourcing business
They are very comparable - I don't see a large difference between the two platforms. Maybe there are features on each that I am not aware of. I know Dropbox sends articles on what is new and what it has to offer so I would say that is a strength that Dropbox has over Google.

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?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

Dropbox is well suited when you have multiple parties looking to access and share folders especially because you can alter permissions. Dropbox may not be ideal when there is simultaneous editing of a document. When there is two or more people, sometimes it results in the creation of inconsistent versions of the same document.
