Seamless file synchronization across devices with user-friendly deployment

  • November 21, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I rely on its implementation feature to securely back up my critical files without the need for individual backups which involves utilizing its integration with the local drives on my various computers. I also use it to share files with clients across different computers. Whether using a computer within our company, my laptop, or another family computer with Dropbox installed, I can access my files seamlessly from all these locations. Another use case involves synchronizing certain documents between Dropbox and my mobile phone. This ensures that I have access to the latest versions of these files whether I'm working on my computer or my mobile device.

What is most valuable?

The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices. Additionally, the secure storage space serves as the second key benefit. The robust security measures implemented are crucial in ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of my files, making it my third essential feature.

What needs improvement?

There is a potential improvement regarding storage capacity and offering more than its current four gigabytes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for twelve years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate its stability capabilities nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

While it is scalable, there are limitations, particularly with the free personal use option. Beyond that, there are four basic packages catering to different user numbers and storage sizes. For instance, if someone doesn't need two terabytes and a lower-priced one terabyte option would suffice, the available options may feel somewhat limited.

How are customer service and support?

I've never needed to contact technical support. I've been able to handle any issues by reaching out to the technical support of the specific productivity tool in use.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward and user-friendly.

What about the implementation team?

The process was remarkably straightforward once I downloaded and initiated the installation on my laptop and phone. I reinstall my computer every two years, and setting it up again during this process is effortlessly simple. All it requires is entering my email address, and responding to a second-factor authorization, possibly through SMS, and the installation is completed seamlessly.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

While the pricing is comparable, especially for users of Microsoft Office 365, the value proposition might not be as competitive for those seeking primarily storage options. I currently pay ten euros per month, totaling one hundred and twenty euros annually. This subscription provides me with two terabytes of storage.

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation is to categorize the information based on access frequency, update frequency, and the number of users. Developing an individualized strategy and combining two or three solutions, such as OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive, can result in an optimal mix for various needs. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

A versatile and user-friendly cloud storage and file-sharing service that offers flexible access options, seamless synchronization, reliable performance, and competitive pricing

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use it for personal file sharing.

What is most valuable?

I find the flexibility of accessing my data from anywhere to be a significant advantage. The various methods for accessing files, such as through mobile apps, online synchronization, and on a PC, are highly valuable.

What needs improvement?

One aspect that I believe could be enhanced is the family sharing feature. Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering. It would be valuable if it offered an archival service that allows users to transfer active mailbox data into long-term storage. Such a feature would be beneficial for archiving and preserving data over extended periods.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for eight years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

While I am impressed with the scalability aspect, I would like to emphasize the need for more scalability, especially for personal use. I would rate it eight out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have exclusively used Google Drive, including Google Apps for Business, and Dropbox.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The initial setup involves configuring the settings, but beyond that, there's minimal maintenance required. Once you've set it up, there's not much in terms of ongoing configuration and upkeep. The vendor handles most of the maintenance tasks, so there's very little for us to do. The deployment time depends on internet latency, but it doesn't take more than half an hour to an hour.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market. The pricing is affordable for a range of businesses, from small to large. I would rate it eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I would highly recommend it. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

A stable and easy-to-deploy solution that is scalable and can easily read and share data

  • August 18, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for sharing data. I also use it for sharing project responsibilities with my team.

What is most valuable?

We use it in our development and production environments. The product has created an industry standard.

What needs improvement?

The product must provide users with the ability to edit and modify documents.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for five years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the tool’s scalability a ten out of ten. More than 20 people are using the product in our organization. We do not have plans to increase the number of users.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I was using IBM’s product. I prefer IBM’s product because it collaborates with the embedded cloud.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple and straightforward. The product can read and share data on Microsoft pretty easily. The deployment took 15 to 20 minutes.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed the solution in-house. To deploy the product, we must follow simple steps. We do not need the help of a consultant. We just need to read the steps on the website. We need only one junior engineer to manage and maintain the solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We must pay when we upsize to a larger space.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I prefer Google One over Dropbox. We use Dropbox only to separate our files. Google One has similar features to Dropbox. However, Google One is better than Dropbox because of the complex environment that Google provides.

What other advice do I have?

The newcomers like Google One, Microsoft, IBM, and other products have similar features. We have a regulation not to use much in the cloud. We tend to use the tools offered by our local vendors. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Requires 3 units, but not mentioned anywhere

  • June 09, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

This is a review on the subscription process, less so with the actual functionality of the SaaS provider.

The AWS vendor partner, Dropbox, requires a minimum of 3 units to proceed with the Marketplace offer. As this is not stipulated anywhere in the vendor's listing, businesses which attempt to subscribe to this will only find this out after being billed.

Our company is international and we deal in non-USD currency. Billing is attached to our non-USD credit card. The transaction has resulted in a charge and refund with USD exchange fees. Essentially, the exchange fees have been absorbed by our business (albeit trivial, still a loss).

Please update the listing so that prospective businesses can make a more informed decision to the product.

Useful file requests, highly stable, and quick setup

  • May 10, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use Dropbox for backups.

What is most valuable?

Dropbox offers helpful functionalities for business purposes, such as receiving file requests from external parties like customers who don't have an account. Additionally, it includes features, such as reminders and workflow capabilities.

What needs improvement?

The price is expensive for individual users.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Dropbox for approximately 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability of Dropbox a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am an individual user of the solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Dropbox is simple and it took approximately 10 minutes.

To access the online service, it was required to create an account, and subsequently, to use the desktop application, which necessitated downloading and installing it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity.

There is a monthly and annual model pay and use solution.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.
