Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Passing files from myself to my clients. I need to send large batches of image and video files, sometimes large files sizes. This is a quick way to easily upload those files organized into folders and send a quick download link for the client.

Pros

  • Allows for folders to organize files
  • Allows large files
  • Allows for viewing files in different formats- list by name, or by date added or date modified. Helps for searching.

Cons

  • The home page is clunky and I don’t need you to “recommend” or suggest folders or images. Way too cluttered
  • Hard to find folders sometimes when you have random folders pop up on top of the screen.
  • Images don’t enlarge quickly and easily- double clicking brings up other screens and menus. Need a quick and simpler way to enlarge a file to see the image.
  • I have a neutral way of sending files in secure ways- receiver doesn’t need a google account or even an email (I’m pretty sure). They can just click the link and download.
  • I can choose contractors to edit files in the folders or I can choose links for the clients who only have viewing access, but it’s all in the same folder which is great.
  • Keeps clients happy with quick sharing.
The screens are so cluttered. I just need an easy user interface that shows all my folders that I can open. I don’t need all the extra recommended or suggested folders. Stop trying to guess what folders I want to see. I know how to navigate to what I need. You’re just cluttering the user interface.

Appropriate for sending large files or large batches of files. Not great for the actual viewing of image or video files. Need better visual organization. The screens are too cluttered. Simplify.
