One of the Best Tools for File Management
What do you like best about the product?
During the time I have used Dropbox I absolutely enjoy the ability to easily connect and pull up my files from anywhere and any device whether it is my Computer, Laptop, or Phone, to my work computer, friend's or wife's device, etc. I rely on Dropbox as my secondary hard drive for my computer and store all of my files there. I use and access the files I have saved there on a constant basis and use them daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I struggle on with Dropbox, and this isn't even their issue, is that it is just another service to have running. I'm one that likes to consolidate as much as possible and an external system make that a little difficult. However that is the only real issue I have, and like I said it isn't one that is the fault of the company at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a work from home Front End Web Developer, sometimes my job requires me to have meetups with my boss, or different clients. With Dropbox I don't have to worry about lugging along an external hard drive, pen drive, or other tools. If I have my laptop (or access to anyone else's laptop or computer) I can easily access my files and we can discuss, edit, and re-sync these products back to the cloud where I have access to them again on my home machine. The ease of file sharing, editing, and collaboration is one of the biggest assets of Dropbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Dropbox for everything. I rarely store things on my desktop anymore. The only things that are actually saved on my computer are games and programs which require my ram and hard drive to run. EVERY other file I own is stored on Dropbox. Approximately 2 years ago I had to actually pay for the upgrade to Dropbox for more space and have not regretted it since.
DropBox Is A Dead-Simple Cloud File Storage/Sharing Platform Though Not As Feature-Rich
What do you like best about the product?
Nearly ubiquitous, works across every imaginable platform. We can email military employees DropBox links to their restricted Windows 7 PCs just as easily as iOS users. Receipients can collaborate without installing software, signing up for accounts etc. We can also get our employees access to company assets without requiring VPN setups and client security profiles. Bottom line, it just works and its easy enough that 1 person can administer around 80 users and hundreds of TBs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow implementation of features. DropBox paper was announced and beta'd and demoed for months before we were able to try it. Only now is it usable enough to have us leverage it rather than Google Docs et all. Eventually it will reached parity with their feature set but for now our users have to make some compromises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When it comes to cloud storage, it all comes down to reliability, access and versatility. DropBox has never gone down for us, nor have we had any indication that they have been breached, sold our information, etc etc. With additional encryption, thet have met every contractual requirement for every government and military client we have worked with. They are on par pricing-wise, and we have consistently negotiated better rates based on user renewals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Determine if you are going to need to pay for other services in addition to DropBox if you need things like onsite zero-knowledge encryption or real time collaboration in traditional file formats (MIcrosoft Office). We resorted to using Boxcryptor for encryption and converting a chunk of our staff off of Google Docs and Office 365 (we have government contractual obligations to encrypt certain users' files).
Good for back up and storage
What do you like best about the product?
Large capacity for backing up files and is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dropbox Requires internet for connection.

Solvs backup storage for media. It is essential to me as it helps organise my data regardless of size.
Dropbox - great for collaborators around the globe

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think there is anything about dropbox I don't like for it's stated purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves a shared folder space where all important documents are held. We can find our files anywhere around the globe.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, not a all in one solution, but helps centralize your files in the cloud.
Great product

I enjoyed how versatile it is. The product let’s us connect company wide with files and documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Besides the fact that there is a limit on storage

Tons - helps share files
Great product for sharing and editing with colleagues.
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to easily organize and edit documents and files, and sharing into the cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, Dropbox does not sync well between the app and website.

When it works, this is a greatness product for team sharing and editing. This also saves much time as it eliminates loaded and slow email attachments.
Dropbox
What do you like best about the product?
Pros: They have a free version (limited storage) that you can use to try it out. The more you share, the more storage they give you. Extremely easy to use, great drag and drop feature, and you can limit people's access to editing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cons: Free version has limited storage. If multiple people are using it within your business, some people may quickly run out of storage. You can either start paying or just use Dropbox to transfer large files easily and then removing them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to transfer files back and forth that are too big for email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check business vs. free version to know which will fit your needs best.
Best & easiest cloud storage
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox allows me to sync all of my files between all of my devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any dislikes. I have not found any issues using it over the past few years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of my client files is #1. I feel secure having my entire business backed up on dropbox. And the Sync folders directly on my desktop makes it easy to access any file at any time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the worry about secure cloud file storage out of your day to day, and get rid of trying to figure out where files are. Sign up with Dropbox (free up to a certain amount of storage) and very cost effective for a subscription.
Very easy to use and reliable
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy to use it is across multiple platforms. It's always ready to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fees for over 1 TB; I realize they need to charge a fee, but this is the only downside to this product/service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
iPhone, Mac, PC
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend it
Dropbox works but doesn't have the most flexible security
What do you like best about the product?
It is the universal leader in storage and integrates with almost every product that can be integrated to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users and security are not nearly sufficient enough for businesses. Subfolders cannot be shared differently that the parent folders. We could not use it to share client information for that reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have a server so we need a way to store files and also share them with customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider carefully what your security needs are and whether Dropbox can fulfill your needs. That has been my biggest disappointment.
