Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dropbox is simple, easy to use, and doesn't get too complicated. It manages our entire record keeping system. Documents, pictures, media, and trip planning items! Although we use Salesforce as our operating database system, obviously, it can't keep a hold of all of our team processes and various internal procedures. This is where Dropbox comes into play! It's used across the whole organization (which is a rather small team) and has sought to address the main issue of internal document sharing.

Alternatives Considered

Google Drive

I think the desktop element of Dropbox was really appealing. I haven't explored enough about Google Drive to know if they have some similar functionalities, but have used it only for some personal storage. For our team, Dropbox was a leader in the industry, so we felt most comfortable migrating to them.

Other Software Used

Adobe Acrobat DC, Basecamp, Prezi

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for any size team, but does have more of it limits. I'd recommend exploring all the various cloud based storage systems to know where your needs are the strongest. For us, we're a relatively small team, not technology focused, so the simplicity and strength of Dropbox was just what we needed. I think if you're a leading organization in the tech space, this might not make the most sense.

Storage at its best!
