Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dropbox to organize the templates we use, patient health insurance information, and filled-out patient forms. This helps us all have access to shared documents while still having our own area to keep our files.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Folders and Subfolders.
Accessibility to log in.
Backup and archive.

Cons

File compression/how much storage the shared dropbox takes up.
More reliable access to shared files from other users.
Retrieving/ Deleting files should be accessible to more users.

Return on Investment

Saves time coordinating documents for team use.

Alternatives Considered

Google Drive

You do not have to explicitly share documents with certain users while using Dropbox, which can be an extra unwanted step while using Google Drive. Of course, permissions need to be granted in Dropbox—but it's one-time, not per document. Dropbox is also a lot more readable for the folders and saved spaces than Google Drive.

Likelihood to Recommend

In a medical office setting, using Mac products is not always best because the software offered isn't always best for the given purpose. Our entire team uses Mac products at our different locations, and it really improves our way of storing the documents and paperwork we need for patients. It is also HIPAA compliant.
