Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox Business

We use Dropbox as an organization to share files between ourselves, with clients and as a long-term archive of files that clients might come back to us asking for. This has been the best use of it overall as the storage solution vs cost has been very good. We tend to have large files due to the nature of the business and Dropbox allows us to easily keep an archive of them.
  • Easy interface
  • Easy to request files from users outside the organization
  • Good pricing
  • Issues with companies blocking Dropbox for security reasons
  • Desktop app is cumbersome
  • No remote sync
  • No file size limit
  • Ability to connect anywhere
  • Scalability
  • Low cost vs storage amount
  • Widely accepted in the industry
  • Shallow learning curve for new employees
Internally we have used a number of file sharing/storage solutions based on needs, and Dropbox is comparable to them all. It has most of the same features and functionality. The only issue we have is IT blocking it, in which case usually using the Microsoft solution works as most businesses have allowed access to Microsoft OneDrive.

Yes

Did implementation of Dropbox Business go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dropbox Business again?

Yes

If you are an organization that needs to share a lot of files across your company but doesn't want to invest in a specific server to do it, then Dropbox is a good solution. Likewise, if you need to send a lot of files to clients or have somewhere that clients need to upload files, then I would recommend Dropbox. If you are looking to keep files completely internal, however, then an internal server would be a better choice.
