Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I do a lot of fashion work but also keep my personal stuff in there. folder system is great but it does already sync in with my phone (photos), which is great but I have thousands of photos being saved that I deleted from my phone, plus those I do want to keep are duplicated since I add them to separate folders . Files are great though to share with others

Pros and Cons

Pros

editing videos function (could add a few more things though)
filing system
user friendly, sharing with others

Cons

sometimes I get confused where something has been saved
to be able to turn off location of any videos and photos (am not sure if it's already there and I don't know how to use it)
maybe be able to turn powerpoint files into accessible links to forward (I try to send my portfolio on platforms such as Upwork, Linkedin, even email and it's very difficult since the file is big

Return on Investment

I have never thought of it as Dropbox having this role
positive - I guess being able to share remotely with other colleagues
negative - I have no clue how I can maximize Dropbox and use it for anything else other than storage area

Usability

I really think it is great but now also realizing that apparently you see Dropbox as more than a sharing and storage space and I am clueless to it, so maybe that needs to be addressed as how else you are positioning yourself and to give us information in how else it can be utilized.

Alternatives Considered

WeTransfer

I think Dropbox is better and also better priced. They are quite different to what Dropbox is used for but I do use we transfer once in a while when people don't have access or an account with Dropbox

Key Insights

Do you think Dropbox delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Dropbox's feature set?

Yes

Did Dropbox live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dropbox go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox again?

Yes

Other Software Used

Google Drive, Facebook Messenger, WeTransfer

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't use it for much else except storing my videos and photos and files, for sharing and forwarding them to others so it's hard to describe what it is well suited for. Definitely as a file sharing space between colleagues and friends. It could potential be useful to have a tutorial video to show what all functions it has other then a storage area and file sharing platform.
