Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

1. I send large proofs to clients that are too large to email.
2. My editor and I are able to collaborate in a live PDF document with comments.
3. I back up projects here (in addition to an external hard drive and Carbonite services!)
4. Clients with large images can share them with me here too.

Pros

  • Trustworthy security
  • Easy for non-users to access files
  • Generous space allowance

Cons

  • folder system is a little clunky, not elegant
  • "suggested for you" is actually sometimes more confusing than helpful
  • add ability to change folder colors
  • I believe it is seen as "the" professional way to share files.
  • It's become a verb: "Dropbox it to me."
It's reliable, secure, and I've used it with almost all of my clients, but it could be more attractive/elegant.
I use Google Drive for personal projects (although frankly, I have a personal account on Dropbox too). I don't think I'd ever use Google Drive for a professional project.
