Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

I use Dropbox to share important files, to collaborate with team members, and as a secondary backup system. It solves issues with remote workers and the ability to handle large files which we would have trouble sharing and collaborating with via email. I find it helpful in that you can target certain files for sharing even if they're in a larger folder.

Pros

  • Seamless desktop integration, having Dropbox live in my sidebar is very helpful.
  • Offers a range of memberships, if I need to share with someone who has a free membership it is still an easy way to transfer large files.
  • I love that it also automatically backs up my photos to the cloud.
  • The mobile app gives me the ability to share files even away from my computer, which has saved me more than once!

Cons

  • improve the photo view, it jumps around when I try to view from the timeline and it is hard to select the photo
  • Eliminated the need for an external backup drive
  • Creates happy clients for the ability to delivery assets quickly
  • Ease of use for file delivery to third party vendors
I rate it as a 9 because I don't have to think about it. The best things are ones that just work. The single point off is for the photo handling and limited version history for the lower level pro plans.

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

Dropbox is the cloud file storage and sharing platform I have the most confidence in. The only drawback for collaboration is that two people can't be using the same file at the same time, it can't register that the way google docs can, but we are using much more complex programs in those situationd/
