Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

We use Dropbox to manage large photo files between our company and our externally hired photographer. Our designer keeps Dropbox files of all unedited images, and sorts folders by season once photos have been edited. I make folders of sorted photography and graphic assets to arrange by project as well.

Pros

  • Allows us to transfer large files easily between users
  • Allows us to organize files by season, photoshoot, year, etc
  • Has a large amount of storage so we can use it as our primary storage place for legacy assets

Cons

  • Sometimes I find it difficult to navigate to folders that have been shared with me if I lose the direct link to it
  • Dragging between folders can be a bit tricky
  • There is a lot going on and lots of options for actions to take, but it can look visually confusing
  • Dropbox serves a specific purpose for us which is making it easier to organize and access our photography assets, which is very helpful.
  • I'm not sure this translates to a direct positive impact on sales, etc, but it is very helpful.
I have not used a similar tool to compare against

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

I think Dropbox works really well for moving large files between users. It prevents too much storage being taken up on any one computer which I think is great for our organization. Again I can find it confusing to try to access folders that were previously shared with me, so that is one time I can find it needlessly frustrating to use. That could be due to less frequent use of the tool and therefore less familiarity.
