Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox
As a media business, we share many large files with clients, and Dropbox makes it super convenient and easy for them to access shared content. We also love the feature that allows us to invite multiple contributors to a project folder with a simple hyperlink. This comes in handy when we need a place to collect and store video files and photos from people all over the world to create a final edited piece. We can trust that our files are safe and organized and will be easily accessed when it’s time to retrieve them. We also love being able to download the desktop application to our computers and access Dropbox folders as if they’re part of the device storage. I personally utilize this feature quite a bit, especially when adding my podcast content for future episodes and social media posts. These things and more make Dropbox the premier file storage and sharing platform for business professionals, hands down.
Pros
- File sharing via links to folders
- Content collaboration
- Media storage
Cons
- Interface navigation (would be easier if more like a computer)
- Show enclosing folder map when I navigate directly to a file
- Detect duplicate data to optimize storage
- We love having an extra 2TB of storage on our devices!
- We have worked on hundreds of collaborative projects using Dropbox sharing features.
- Since we travel frequently, the offline mode setting has been extremely helpful.
You can create an account easily and begin storing files but an account is not required in order to access them the way it is on some of these other programs. Also, any type of file can be easily stored and downloaded to a device with Dropbox, but some of these attempt to convert the file to their preferred format in order to preview or send it.

- Uploading files
- Creating and naming folders
- Sharing a link to a file/folder
- Adding access controls
- Searching for a specific file/folder
- Navigating through the enclosing folders of a specific file
- Identifying duplicate file uploads
- Scrolling down to find starred files. In my opinion, they should be at the top instead of AI suggestions
Yes - It works very well. The mobile app is just as accessible and has all the same features and functionality as the web browser version. It gives users the ability to log in, navigate folders, upload, organize, share, search, rename, and manage access to files. It shows shortcuts to recently accessed, shared, starred, and viewed files.
