Information Storage with Ease

  • June 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful aspect of Dropbox is that it supports cloud storage and sharing. You can use it to store files on the cloud from any device and sync them so that your files are available at all times. From the settings, you can select folders from your computer to automatically sync with Dropbox. Dropbox will make periodic backups of those folders on the cloud, so you can retain them with ease if they somehow get lost. Normally the files on the cloud can only be accessed from the web browser, but you can make them viewable offline on your local hard drive from the Preferences. Any folders or files you add to Dropbox from a different device will automatically be synced with the app on your desktop, allowing you to view and open the files offline as well.

In addition to allowing easy storage and syncing, Dropbox is secure for sharing files. You can share the URL for the files on your storage with anyone, using which they can download them. Alternatively, they can receive the file directly into their cloud storage if they're also a Dropbox user. Dropbox allows seamless file sharing between two accounts. If you're working with a team and want to share files with them easily, you can create a shared folder and add your files there. This will allow your team to download the files directly from the shared folder once they've been granted permissions without requiring a URL for each file.

Dropbox for collaboration is pretty well-rounded. It has the tools to support the management of tasks, setting deadlines and alerts for them, and staying productive with the help of to-do lists. You can use Dropbox Paper for the creation and collaboration of documents from any source. You can have docs, sheets, slides, and more to collaborate on with your team after permitting them. Any doc you work on is saved to your cloud storage, automatically syncing them on your computer.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no downsides to using Dropbox. One minor gripe would be the low storage space, but it's fantastic regardless.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox helps my team and me to work remotely and automatically sync our offline files to the cloud for swift means of sharing when we're collaborating on projects. I have my Dropbox app synced with my account, so any file changes that I make to the Dropbox folder get automatically reflected on the cloud storage. We have shared folders that we use to work on project files and assignments regularly, and we make our files accessible to all the members through these shared folders. Shared folders eliminate the need to share files manually using URLs, which can be slow and time-consuming. The automatic syncing also prevents the need to upload the files manually to update them on the cloud to implement changes. Although this is excellent for offline work that we do individually, for collaborating, Dropbox Paper is the best platform. We can integrate any file from Google Docs, Sheets, MS Word, OpenOffice, etc., to edit simultaneously with others for swifter completion of the tasks assigned.

Dropbox is excellent for sharing files of any format. As Android Developers, we use APK files that cannot be transmitted easily due to many devices having high security for downloading unauthorized applications outside of the Google Playstore. Through Dropbox, we can send them to one another while beta testing and work on areas that need improvement and debugging seamlessly. One of the best features of Dropbox that we've been able to benefit from is transferring large files securely and quickly without the traditional process of uploading and downloading. We can send them directly to the recipients' computers from ours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My advice for those looking at Dropbox would be to give it a try since it's free. You get 2GB of space for storing and sharing files, which can be insufficient for anything besides documents and sheets. But in a professional working scenario, it's pretty ideal because of the collaboration features you can use.

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have all my university work always stored in the cloud in case a computer breaks down and being able to share that work with more classmates, as well as working together.
What do you dislike about the product?
The payment limit although if you share your link you can end up having many GB of free space so if you get others to install it through your affiliate link you can have a lot of space without paying anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly being able to have my documents, files, images, etc., safe from any kind of problem on your computer or laptop. It benefits me that I will always have my documents there even as the years go by.

It is a solid platform that has been operating smoothly for a long time, highly recommended.

Cloud storage, creation of platforms like courses, and easy distribution of information, easy to use, and download, available on all operating systems.

Quick file sync and transfer

  • May 30, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox makes it easy to sync your files between your cloud storage and your device. On the desktop software, you can select folders on your local storage which Dropbox will automatically create backups of on your cloud storage without your intervention. In the event you lose access to these files on your computer, you can easily retrieve them from Dropbox at any time. Files that you sync or upload to Dropbox manually are available on any device after you log into your account. You can log into Dropbox on your phone to not only access the synced files but also transfer files from your phone to your PC and vice versa. File transfer through Dropbox isn't limited to your accounts but is also available among other users. You can drag and drop any file to upload to your storage and then create a sharing URL that you can send to other people for them to receive your file. For sending files that surpass the storage available, you can use file requests to skip the process of uploading them to your storage. Dropbox will allow the recipient to receive the files directly on their device in real-time without using up any space from their cloud storage.

Whether it's sharing files for work or creating automated backups for essential files so that you'll never lose them, Dropbox is excellent as a multi-purpose platform. If you're already using it for cloud storage, you can also collaborate on docs and files along with other users with ease. After you invite them or receive an invitation, you can co-edit docs. Dropbox file editions are stored in changelogs, which you can browse to see the edits made, the name of the person who made the edit, and the date and time. This helps undo any changes that are unnecessary or unwarranted in retrospect without having to rewrite or edit the file manually. You can simply reload a previous version from the changelog and create another soft copy to use as a base for future collaborations.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues with Dropbox at all after using it for a few years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy file syncs allow quick file transfers among users. This is integral for my colleagues and me during our work and project collaborations. Although we have our work files saved on our computer for quick access when doing our daily work, Dropbox's automation makes routine backups of the file to our cloud storage automatically on our behalf, making file sharing easier because it skips the need to upload the file manually. We use shared folders as a base for backups and sharing, which all invited users can access, thereby eliminating the need to create a link when sharing files among our team. Dropbox's reliability is excellent as our files are available at need on phones and other devices it supports. As long as we have access to a web browser, Dropbox and our cloud storage are accessible anywhere. This has been of great help when we receive PDFs and documents through WhatsApp from clients on our phones, which we can easily upload to Dropbox to share with the rest of our team.

Collaborating via Dropbox is an effective way to be more productive and manage your work. Through its Paper feature, you can create docs, sheets, slides, and more on your storage. By moving them to the shared folder, you can allow others access to them to edit on their own or in a collaborative effort. Simultaneous editing with a marker representing each user makes it convenient to keep track of each user's edits and history. Similar to forking repositories, one can create soft copies to their storage from the shared folder for edits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dropbox is excellent! If you're new to it or looking to use it for your storage, backup, and collaborations, I recommend it.

Collabs are easier

  • May 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Storage Upgrades are cheap and easy to collab with business partners. Links do not come back as spam, and it also helps with Resource Packs on Minecraft Servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it were easier to upload folders instead of having a .zip file. It's a lot easier to drag and drop instead of .zip of a folder. A lot of programs do not have that feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I own a Minecraft Server, and use Dropbox to host our resource pack. It solves my problem bc it's a simple way to connect the URL to the server in order to get the resource pack to load and unload.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend upgrading your storage if you plan on doing a lot of business and uploading a lot of files.

Organization and work planning with the help of Dropbox

  • May 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
First, I like the idea of sharing every project I do with my clients, and this option is very easy to use. Also, I like that all my files are organized and automatically synced with each client. When I am working in a team it is easy for me to manage all the projects because each co-worker can edit or modify the project we are developing, and the security of each file is high. On the other hand, the free version is very good but I prefer to have more space, the capacity of Dropbox is very good. And finally, this software has many tools that make it easier to manage it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like this software but I think that the free version should have more space, in addition, there are several things that I have to be done manually, such as the position of the files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I've been using Dropbox my files are more organized and easier to distinguish. Teamwork in the company has improved thanks to this software because we can participate in the same project more easily. Also, I feel safer having my projects there and sharing them with other workers. I recommend it to all those people who work in a team, work with heavy files or who need to organize themselves daily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Maybe this software is a bit expensive but it is worth getting it because you will get benefits that will help you to make your work easier. Also, if you work in a team, this software is ideal because it will save all your projects and allow your co-workers to participate in them.

users can use Dropbox as a data storage medium to reduce data load on a computer or smartphone.

  • May 22, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
services that provide cloud-based digital data storage that we can also use to synchronize data with other devices that both use dropbox. You can backup to various devices or you can access data anywhere and anytime.
What do you dislike about the product?
The standard storage capacity is small only 2 GB. a minimum of only 2 GB is obtained for free if a DropBox user recommends DropBox to someone else. But overall it's OK.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't need to worry about data that is already stored in online storage services in dropbox. This service has a special program for its users that is able to maintain the security of data and all files stored there and always maintain security when accessing. Talking about the security of virus attacks there is no need to worry about viruses that will attack your storage here
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend dropbox to you because dropbox is not only used to store data, but also can be used for sharing data both individuals and groups. Besides
Dropbox has flexible access as a data storage medium, the process of installing dropbox is very easy and has been applied in several windows, Mac, and linux systems and the latest operating system.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is the most well-known distributed storage administration available, and it is continually improving its capacities.
Dropbox empowers clients to move things, like photos and recordings, from their PCs to a cloud-based data set.
Furthermore, it permits clients to moderate space and quickly trade content.

The worst shortcoming is the absence of a metadata search tool.
Metadata consists of information on a file, such as its creation date.
A cloud storage system requires the ability to store vast quantities of data and files.
Dropbox does not let businesses check audit logs, so if sensitive data is compromised, administrators have no means of determining who accessed it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform facilitates communication, safeguards data, and enhances cooperation.
It offers team management solutions to enterprises.
Dropbox for Business is Dropbox's business offering.
It is an effective, rapid storage technology that enables rapid collaboration and sharing.
Teams use it to complete projects more quickly, improve collaboration, and securely exchange vital work with other team members and externals.
