Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Dropbox daily, mainly to handle all our media files, video, audio, and everything in between. Since we do a mix of CD sales, custom song production,n, and short-form video content, we need an easy way to store & share, + access large files across different devices.

It solves a lot of headaches for us: file transfers – No messing around with emails extra steps.. drop the file in and share.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Dropping work deliverables into.
Cataloging media.
Access across different devices.

Cons

Sync issues, sometimes files don't sync.
Upload and download speeds.

Return on Investment

Speed of working, cuts out having to send emails.
Great for linking versions on a spreadsheet.

Usability

It's used every day, is reliable, and I don't have many issues with providing clients with work using it. It's also fast again for dropping files into.

Alternatives Considered

I think the transfer is better for upload and download speed, but Dropbox's advantage is I don't have the extra steps in Dropbox, such as visiting a webpage, uploading, and entering details; Dropbox puts the file in my Dropbox folder and shares the link, much faster than the workflow that we transfer.

Likelihood to Recommend

We deal with a lot of audio and video files, and Dropbox makes it easy to share with clients. It works well on long-term clients who have Dropbox; we can just put the files in their folders. Sometimes, download and upload speeds can be an issue, and we are on a 1 GB broadband speed.
