Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dropbox to transfer real estate seller's financial documents to us, the real estate brokers, then to potential buyers of the residential assisted living facilities. We often have large files of information that the seller needs to transfer to us that wouldn't be suitable for email because the files span several years and are generally too large to email. We also send pictures of the property by including them in Dropbox.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Large video or picture files
Large files of financial documents
Backup documents for transaction, such as bank and credit card stmts
Saving transaction documents such as purchase and sale agreements.
Large contracts, such as leases and solar agreements.

Return on Investment

Absolutely vital to be able to transfer large files of information from sellers to us, then to would-be buyers

Likelihood to Recommend

We are real estate brokers specializing in senior care facilities. We often have transactions where the seller of the property must transfer large files of financial documents, such as profit and loss statements for several years, balance sheets, payroll detail and summaries, pictures and videos. We, as brokers, must then review information, then send documents for review to potential buyers. Files generally too large to email.
