Impressive features

  • October 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Security features embedded in this product and how secure my files are are the main reasons why I like this product. Besides the use of unique passwords for accessing the files link this product allows me to set expiration dates on the links that I would have shared with others This is very helpful because I know that I end up being the only one having access to my files after the expiration date.
I also find the software helpful because it saves a lot of space on my computer hard drive by automatically making big sized files available only when I get online which means those files can never take up storage space in the computer.
It offers a big storage space that gives me a guarantee of storing everything without even running out of space.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like the features of this product so much but one downside is that whenever I do not have an internet connection that means I cannot have access to my files that have been automatically made available online only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control over already shared files has been one of my main concerns since I have for a long time wanted a way to make sure no unauthorized user has access to my files and also lately my problem was that if I shared a link with someone a third unauthorized person would end up using my link and sharing that link as well. Dropbox has managed to solve this problem by allowing me set expiring dates on links and also it allows me to see if the shared file is being viewed and when it was last opened.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product goes the extra mile to make sure there is maximum security on files hence I would recommend anyone considering this product to try it out.

Dropbox is a great way to save and secure data on cloud

  • October 12, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about dropbox is its simple usage and user interface, with which we can easily store our essential data upon the cloud and can access the data from anywhere; we need an internet connection. Also, the best part is we get 2 GB of space as a trial option to start with this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dropbox is an excellent application for storing our data on the cloud, so there is no dislike for this application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox helps us a lot in storing our essential data files upon the cloud; we usually take the backup of our important files and upload them to dropbox to keep them safe and secure and to access those from any other location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An excellent tool to keep your important document safe and secure over cloud servers. Must to use tool, so I suggest this tool to everyone.

Dropbox makes it easy to share files and have them available to you on multiple devices

  • October 05, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it syncs files continuously. I can work on a file on one computer, and dropbox will update them on all of my devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some files are not very compatible with the platform. This issue makes it so I have to download and upload the new version each time I work on it. The space can also be limited if you have big files. More space is avalible if paid for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can now have all files available to me no matter where I am or what device I am working on. I don't have to worry about my data being up to date or sending an old file.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It makes it very easy to collaborate with people and have the files stay updated with things everyone adds.

File Sharing Across the Business

  • September 28, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
File sharing between colleagues is as easy as possible and the system is very simple to use. The synchronisation between PCs great and we can share work without any trouble.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot of time to boot and is hard on the PC when opened the first time and especially if you have large files on queue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very easy to share big files with clients or vendors with the `copy dropbox link` function, where we cannot send something via email due to the size.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this tool for personal use as well as business because it enables the team to share work seamlessly and work on the same thing at the same time without any problem.

Effective storage platform

  • September 25, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interface of Dropbox is straightforward and intuitive. With the click of a button, you can add your files to your storage directly or folders, which you can create. The uploads to Dropbox are relatively quick, and you can see the progress for each file and the ETA. Dropbox allows you to view files on the web browser. You can read text files and PDFs, view photos, and stream videos in source quality. Files from your storage can also be transferred by direct download or email attachments. If you want to send the file to another user, you can type their email address after clicking on the share button or allow them to download by URL. For moving files within your devices, you can download the Dropbox application for Windows and Android or iOS and easily access what you want. Dropbox on the desktop is very intuitive, and you can add your files by dragging and dropping them into the task window.

While all files on your storage are private, you can add an additional layer of privacy by password-protecting your files. This will also require the users with whom you share your files to enter the correct password to download them. You can create Shared Folders and add users to them, which will allow them to view and download all the files inside them. This is more convenient than changing the accessibility for each file manually, especially if you're using Dropbox to work with others. You can have Dropbox create routine backups of your files to ensure that recovery will be easy if you lose all your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dropbox is limited in storage, and its plans aren't as cheap as Google Drive, which offers more storage for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox meets my needs for cloud storage. It's very efficient and quick, making it easier to manage my files. The UI navigation is very streamlined, and I can open and view my files seamlessly. Dropbox also allows me to edit any text file, including source codes that I upload to my storage. Since most of my usage of Dropbox is related to my work, editing code on the cloud is very convenient. I can edit and write new instructions collaboratively with my colleagues by allowing them access to our files and folders. Cloud collaboration makes it easier for us to work on our projects and presentations, which we are tasked with bimonthly. The main benefit of Dropbox that I appreciate is Dropbox Paper, which is an essential tool for my colleagues and me to collaborate online. We use it for creating templates and slides. For project management and tracking of tasks, Dropbox Paper is immensely helpful. We can make notes and to-do lists as reminders and set priorities for each item on the list. This helps us stay organized and allows us to complete our projects faster.

Another benefit of Dropbox is that it's easy to find anything in your storage. Not only can we search for our files by their names but also their contents. This makes it easier for us to find specific functions and blocks of code that we want to edit or refer to while collaborating on documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dropbox is very efficient and beneficial for cloud collaboration and file storage. I recommend it since it's free, but if you want more space, I would suggest Google Drive.

Great for storing and sharing files

  • September 25, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the easy "share" function- which comes in handy when you can't attach files to an email for whatever reason. I use it for pitches, since many PR platforms tend to "swallow" attached files. The problem doesn't happen when you embed the link in the email. Also: Their UI looks better than google drive's, which we have used before. And for my accountancy, it is very simple to make screenshots of receipts, and simply upload them into dropbox via their app. Keeps it all in one place nicely.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I dislike. Dropbox could maybe offer a little more free storage- when you store mostly pictures, or big files, that isn't ideal. Some of my interns use it, and as students, one doesnt want to pay that much. So they went for mega.nz or other options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I store files I can share with Dropbox, share them in emails, and also store screenshots of receipts for my accountancy on it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Still one of the best storing and filesharing softwares available. Minor flaw: the free version has very little storage to offer.

The most secure and trustworthy way of transferring files

  • September 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is very easy to use from the get-go. It doesn't require much setup, and you can start using it right after you create an account, which you can speed up by logging in via Google. You get 2 GigaBytes of space on your cloud storage from the start, but you can upgrade to get 1 TeraByte or more space if you wish. You can use Dropbox from your web browser, the Windows application, or the Android or iOS application. While the desktop application is excellent for quick uploads, you can get a much better interface and navigate your storage on your web browser or mobile phone. You can upload any file or folder to your cloud storage and view their content on your browser if they're text files, documents, pictures, or videos. Dropbox is an excellent platform for file transfer from one device to another as you can upload and download your files from anywhere. You can also transfer your files with other users of Dropbox or those who don't have a registered account. You can right-click on any file or folder to find the necessary means of sharing, which are by email or URL. You can attach your file to your email quickly via Dropbox and send it to the desired recipient, or you can give them the URL, and they'll be able to view and download your file from their web browser.

In addition to ensuring high security for your files, Dropbox also has excellent file recovery features. The files you delete are only soft deleted by default, and you can recover them quickly from the Deleted Files tab. For Dropbox Free users, you can get up to 30 days to recover deleted files, whereas if you use Dropbox Professional or higher, you have up to 180 days. If you want to receive a file from someone securely via Dropbox, you can send file requests to their email. Even if they don't have a Dropbox account, they'll be able to upload the file you want, and it'll only be available to you.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I have no issues with Dropbox. Its cloud storage is very reliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Dropbox for all of my file transfer needs. It's very convenient to share my files with my coworkers with instant uploads from any device. The files I upload to Dropbox remain on my cloud storage forever. So, when needed, I can share them with my coworkers at any time instead of email attachments, which aren't easy to find. Furthermore, the URL that I can share with people are always available. So if they ever lose the file from their device, they can always use my URL to redownload it. Dropbox is also a very secure way of storing my system backups and project backups. The benefit of this is that after each workday, when I upload the backup, my coworkers can access them through our shared folders, which they can then edit or add on to during our projects. Dropbox saves file changes as separate files, making it convenient to retrieve the old and unmodified contents of any file at any time. Dropbox is an excellent medium through which we collaborate on our work. With real-time file editing and content sharing it's one of the integral tools of our daily work life. It has several management tools and a password manager, through which I can store all the different passwords for my accounts securely.

The cloud storage on Dropbox is also excellent, and while the initial 2 GigaBytes was more than enough for my needs, the features that I got from upgrading to Dropbox Professional were worth it. It allows file locking, a feature that will enable me to mark files as complete and prevent their editing by any user. It also has a full-text search, using which I can quickly look for a specific word or phrase in all of my files. With Dropbox Pro, for any issue that you run into, you can get access to priority email support and live chats with their support team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With Dropbox being free to use, there's no reason for anyone not to give it a try, at least. It's excellent, and the cloud storage is very reliable.

So easy, I was able to get 40 65+ year old singers to use it during COVID

  • September 21, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is so easy to use. It is very user intuitive. I was able to get my choral group set up on it which consists of at least 40 65+ year old singers who are not very tech savvy and they got set up on their smartphones and laptops to record a virtual Christmas and a virtual spring concert last year and this last spring. The best part about it too is if you have other companies using Dropbox as well, you can co-collaborate on folders without having to import your folders into their folders etc. We did this with an audio production company in New York for our concerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I dislike is that standard users get 2GB of free space and it is too easy to choose to sync files from Dropbox down to your account when they only need to view them. I found a few people calling me that their Dropbox was full and it was prompting them to pay for a basic account to get 50GB. I ended up creating some very specific instructions to avoid that going forward but it was definitely a hurdle at first
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wouldn't have been able to produce an incredible Christmas concert in December 2020 if it weren't for Dropbox. We created folders for singers to upload their video and audio recordings with direct links and it worked so well!

Good Tool When Google is Full

  • September 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox Business is an evergreen tool that works because it doesn't try too hard. You have files, folders, and groups you can place security on files, on Folders and decide exactly who in your team needs the tool very quickly. I also liked the ease of interacting with other organizations. We had to collaborate on multiple Data files while doing data management and DropBox not only supported the extreme file size without any issue it also allowed us to ask the other collaborators about certain data pockets and saved time going to multiple meeting just to walk through a simple issue or small mistake.
What do you dislike about the product?
It costs - I prefer a file tool to be free and easy to use. Why Dropbox feels clunky and in need of a remodel to continue to be successful. I would make the administrative part easier to use and sell Dropbox business for one or two users - not require three total users. Some teams only need one user at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an excellent secure file tool that allows me and my team to share files with other organizations that are not using google or need a little extra security around their shared files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it; the more you use the tool, the easier it is to move around in. Don't get scared away because you can't find something in the beginning just keep looking or google what you're looking for.

File Sharing Made Simple

  • September 14, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about DropBox is the ability to upload, share and store high quality images + files with my colleagues. The most helpful about DropBox is the ease of use and compatibility across devices. This results in the upside of DropBox being able to efficiently share your necessary documents or pictures from any computer, phone, and tablet whether your on a Mac or PC.
What do you dislike about the product?
Becoming a user of DropBox in 2015, I have had the advantage of watching this platform grow larger throughout the years. Because of how DropBox has maintained their functionality, purpose and price, I do not dislike anything about the platform and feel there are no downsides to using this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With DropBox, I am solving the business problem of reliable, secure file sharing. In this day and age, most jobs requires you to be able to quickly exchange documents and/or images through various networks. The benefits realized through utilizing DropBox are having important files all in one place that are secured in a cloud based storage, but accessible to those you provide access to. Not only does this allow for seamless file access, but also real time file updating across all devices.
