Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have several Dropbox accounts. My main account is used as a cloud backup for everything I work on, and the other accounts are used for Data Logger uploads. It makes my life a lot easier knowing that the Data Logs of all my machines are uploaded every day, and when I need data for an incident report, I can just grab it from Dropbox, instead of struggling to log onto the machine to do the download manually.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Synchronization of files across several devices
Making sure my work is always safe in the cloud
Being able to recover an accidentally deleted file

Return on Investment

We had an incident lately where a locomotive was in an accident and the data logger wat completely damaged, but I was able to retrieve most of the information since everything continually syncs to Dropbox. If it wasn't for Dropbox, we would not have know what happened with that accident.

Usability

The setup process is incredibly easy, and once it's setup, it just works without issues.

Alternatives Considered

OneDrive, Google Drive and Apple iCloud

Dropbox knocks it out of the park. It is way better than any of the other products I have used in the past.

Likelihood to Recommend
