Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dropbox Business is being used in our organization to share files between individuals and external contacts. It solves the issue of not having to give non-domain users access to our internal network, opening up security issues. It also allows us to not have to upgrade server storage on site.

Alternatives Considered

Box, Google Drive and OneDrive

Dropbox Business holds up against the other big boys like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. If you already use those platforms, it would probably make sense to use them. But many users already used Dropbox and were familiar with it. And if you don't already have a solution, Dropbox is a quick, easy solution.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dropbox Business is well suited for scenarios where internal network storage space is limited. This eliminates the need to have to upgrade internal infrastructure. It's also well suited to share files with external customers or partners, especially large files that don't fit over email.
It's probably less appropriate for a very small business that doesn't need to incur additional costs.
