Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

I use it to sync files between me work machine and my laptop at home. I also use Dropbox to backup my current working files, and it allows me to view files from my phone as well.

Pros

  • Syncing across devices
  • Sharing with multiple users
  • Integration with Mac OSX

Cons

  • File sharing could have a simpler function, like WeTransfer, with no accounts needed
  • Setup of the syncing settings is a little difficult
  • Allowing more customization of folder functionality on Mac
  • Allows me to work more flexibly
  • Helps me feel secure about file management
  • Helps ensure I never loose progress or files
It's pretty good, but not perfectly intuitive. Takes some getting used to, and even then I feel like I am missing out on some functionality as many features may exist, but are very much non-obvious.

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

Backing up current work is the most important feature for me. It feels slightly less useful for sharing files with people who are let's say "non-digital natives". Also, many large corporations simply will not allow their users to have any connection to Dropbox. Places like banking institutions will simply not allow it.
