Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dropbox as our primary file manager. It is used across our team for all files and documents we need to be accessible to multiple people. Much of our staff prefer Google Drive because of the simultaneous editing feature, and because that is what they are more familiar with, but we are trying to have them use Dropbox more consistently. We use some password-protection, and we definitely use sharing permissions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy and clear organization
Love the desktop access with the taskbar search icon
Easy to share docs and files and adjust permissions

Cons

Please please please please please create simultaneous editing of Microsoft files. If we had this, we'd get rid of Google entirely!

Return on Investment

We need to overhaul our Dropbox organization, because right now the chaos is reducing productivity.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have quite a few documents that need to be edited by multiple people, sometimes simultaneously, and we'd prefer they be Microsoft suite instead of Google, but Dropbox feels clunky for this task.
If there are alternate file organizational structures, I would like to learn them. We want the entire team using Dropbox, but there are varying levels of permissions. This may already be possible and I just need to do more learning.
