Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox Business

It is used across the company. It is part of our standard software tools that are installed on everyone's laptop.

I am part of our sales team. I use it to store proposals, presentations, and signed contracts. Our consultants use it for client deliverables. We use it to share documents internally and externally.
  • I can quickly share documents by copying the link.
  • It allows me to recover old/deleted versions of files.
  • I wish searching through deleted files to recover them was easier.
  • It isn't clear to me when Dropbox creates a new link when you overwrite a file, so sometimes I send clients the old link and it's no longer valid.
  • It has facilitated sharing contracts with clients, especially when the file sizes are large.
  • It's easier to attach a Dbox file than a physical file when I'm on my phone.
I didn't select Dropbox. I use it because my company provides it. They also provide Google Drive. Personally, I find Dropbox better to use for most things, and only use Gdrive when I know I'm sharing Google files. I feel Dropbox is a better professional solution compared to Gdrive.

And essentially the same is true regarding OneDrive. I like it as a personal solution, for my Microsoft Office apps, but I use Dbox much more often.

Dbox 80%
Gdrive 15%
OneDrive 5%
I've never used their support.

Do you think Dropbox Business delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Dropbox Business's feature set?

Yes

Did Dropbox Business live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dropbox Business go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Dropbox Business again?

Yes

I find it's really good at sharing files, especially outside the company. I like the ability to open File Explorer locally so I can see where a file is stored. I also like the fact that I can connect my Microsoft Office account and open documents/spreadsheets directly from Dropbox in those apps.

I'd like some better search functionality. Maybe some reporting on when people access/download my files.
