Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

I store all of my personal tax/documents/photos/maps everything in Dropbox, as well as everything relate to my business and work. It keeps my computer clutter free humming. People I know that do not use the cloud have slow ineffective computers as a result. I have an issue with some corrupt files on my laptop, but they are fine on my phone, so it is likely my laptop with the issue

Pros

  • Keeps computer space and speed optimal
  • allows me to save all personal information orderly and effectively
  • allows me to save all business information orderly and effectively
  • keeps my photos organized by category making them easy to find
  • Without Dropbox I would spend all day searching for things I can find instantly
  • I have used my One Drive, Google Docs, and iCloud, but they do not do the job as efficiently as
  • Dropbox.

Cons

  • I have a bunch of files that are corrupted??. no one has been able to fix. Some are crucially important
  • It does not always save a second or third attachment to the folder in use without having to browse.
  • It is better, so I pay, but I have more free storage on Google Drive.
  • Saves time finding needed information
  • Time = $$
  • Information is right at my fingertips
  • I get a great ROI with Dropbox
All of my files from medical records, insurance documents, healthcare documents, tax records in detail (a non-paper record of all deductions and income), and all other personal documents are backed up in Dropbox. I have thousands of photos that are so easy for me to find categorized. I work in real estate so similarly all of my client information, educational documentation, properties for sale, contracts and leases, zoning and other ordinances are at my finger tips.
Dropbox has proven to be a superior system to Apple iCloud, Google Drive and OneDrive. It is far more use friendly and interfaces better with whatever system I need it to, regardless of whether it is Apple, Microsoft, or a company's internal system in every instance I have come across. The others, I cannot say provide the same.

Do you think Dropbox delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

Dropbox suits me for all of my storage needs. Whether personal, medical, backup of titles/SS cards/healthcare documents/legal documents or all sorts of business documents. If I did not have Dropbox, I would be searching paper files or other less supportive cloud-based systems all day for some simple but needed document.

Using Dropbox

15 - Salesmen and women, the accounting department, management, the marketing department, assistants, Human Relations, and most of the functions associated in any office. It makes corroboration between us smoother and efficient, so we are not printing and scanning, trying to integrate, but collectively sharing information with each other in an efficient and effective manner.
1 - In our case it is our IT department, but by in large Dropbox requires very little support. Our in-house IT lady will assist a new user with the installation and show them all of the features it has. They don't have to do much really beyond that as it is extremely use friendly.
  • Storage of required and non-required marketing and real estate information.
  • Storage and distribution of rules and regulations, and updates as they change.
  • Accounting
  • Transactional records
  • Allowing storage of large files
  • being able to give access to a particular file without giving access to your personal information
  • sending information that cannot be changes or manipulated
  • We ty to examine the features as they become available
Why would I not rate it as a 10? Without it I would not even know where to start. I have recommended it to countless business associates, friends, and family because I think if you are not using it is because you have not tried it before. It is the best cloud-based system I know of.
