Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Being a university instructor, I work at my office on campus, in the classroom and at home. I have to share documents with my fellow instructors and teaching assistants. This is where Dropbox has made sharing documents with colleagues is straightforward.

Pros

  • Keeps everything in syncs across my laptop, phone, and tablet without any hassle.
  • The ability to access my files from anywhere, especially when I am working remotely.
  • Super easy way to share documents with colleagues.

Cons

  • Occasional sync conflicts.
  • Allow real-time editing of native Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files.
  • Dropbox only offers 2 GB on the free plan, which is significantly less than competitors. A bump in free storage would make Dropbox much more attractive.
  • Time saving.
  • Improved team collaboration.
  • Disaster recovery and continuity.
It is super easy to use! Just drag and drop, and everything just syncs across my laptop, phone, and tablet without any hassle. I have never had issues with lost files or failed uploads.
Dropbox offers fast, reliable syncing across devices, whereas Google Drive is reliable but not as fast with large files. Dropbox offers 2GB free storage whereas Google Drive offers 15GB free storage.

Dropbox allows the sharing of all types of documents whereas OneDrive only allows sharing of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) documents. Collaboration with a team is extremely difficult with OneDrive.

I regularly work with a team of teaching assistants. They are required to access the documents in a shared Dropbox folder using a range of devices.
The cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) is rock solid. Dropbox just quietly works in the background without needing any attention.
