I need access to my files from various computers and Dropbox is a safe way for that to occur. It is easy to use and seemless in operation.
I have not identified any downsides to using Dropbox.
Using my files on different computers.
I can auto transfer my pics from my phone to my desktop, as well as share files easily with others.
Sometimes phone app doesn't automatically transfer to desktop.
Sharing large files
User-friendly is key for apps and it doesn't get simpler than DropBox. In addition to being easy to use and providing instant access from all my devices, I trust that all my data is securely saved in the Cloud. I travel and work from many locations and this app is awesome.
I haven't experienced one downside to Dropbox.
Solves the problem of real-time back-up of all my work. My internet speed is not top notch so the services that back everything up daily get bogged down and don't work for me.
It is very convenient cloud storage service
I do not think that there are any downsodes for using Dropbox. The only inconvenience is about sharing files with ios APP, that sends the link, instead of attached file.
I access all files from different devices by using Dropbox.
Dropbox's ability to function on various platforms distinguishes it from other cloud services, making it an excellent service even on linux machines.
The pricing is a bit high and it forces you to upgrade to the Pro plan.
Syncing our design files
Dropbox is easy to navigate and share. Signing in is quick and I can easily find the folder that I am searching for. I am able to upload and share documents with other members of my team in seconds.
I still haven't figured out how to teach someone else to sign in to a shared Dropbox account
Dropbox makes it possible for our organization's team to share documents without having to make hard copies. It also gives us a safe place to store documents with easy access for new members to our team.
Easily accessible anywhere as long as you have internet connection
The high priced it comes with each different plans
Keep storage data
The ease of use. The fact that there's an app on your phone too.
For shared files if you use certain characters in the folder name it won't save.
We are able to share client documentation that has sensitive info in a secure manner.
While in school, Dropbox has made our so easy to be able to create files for each class while organizing each folder. I also store other valuable files as well.
Nothing is become so diverse since initially creating my account for school
I don't know
Consistency if receiving large files and folders of contents
Nothing much to dislike. Perhaps create a new design for the features.
Sending and uploading big files of content , it's much easier than trying to email .
The synchronization is very fast. I am using more than 10 years, and so far is very good.
I think the price can be lower and also more features
I am engineer so I am sharing the files with my peers.
Synching between devices and a good cloud backup sulution.
On occations upload / download speeds are slow. It takes quite a while to batch upload new files.
Sharing business documents and ability to edit as a group
The ability to sync different folders to different devices but if needed access online.
Security concerns from corporate partners
Ability to hold all photos and personal docs in a single secure online space synced across multiple platforms
I like that I can seemlessly synchronize files accross multiple devices and retain cloud backups at the same time. It doesn't require a Microsoft Account, I can pick any folder to use, I can select which folder to keep local. The cost for the storage and feaures is very resonable. One of the features I like best is taking photos with my phone and then having them on my PC so that I can write reports without even having to think about it. This is one of those technologies that is almost transparent and works so well that it just becomes a normal part of everyday life.
Since they fixed all of the things I previously disliked all I can come up with for dislikes is it would be nice if I could select multiple foders to upload to dropbox, instead of having one drop box folder on my PC. I wish it could keep Apple live photos in a native format, but maybe it does that not too, I don't know. Also, I guess another bad thing is that now I'm totally dependent on it. Since everything is in the cloud and accessible from everywhere via my phone and since I can just log in from any PC with a web browser I'm too spoiled and can never go back.
I can share files and espeically useful for very large files that would be otherwise impossible for me to share without investing in another product or service.
Security for my files and backup for personal and bussiness
a little bit cluncky on the web app but I almost never use it
real-time backup of all my files
I think the best thing about using Dropbox is that you are almost never aware you are using it. The documents you store there are available across platforms and devices, and soon after you start with it, all its key features function by default.
I have been using Dropbox for more than 10 years now, and honestly, I cannot think of a single thing that I don't like about the software. They go it right and seem to have focused on keeping functionality robust rather than adding new features for the sake of innovation.
I work primarily from home but our firm has three locations I need to visit on an as-needed basis. Dropbox makes sure I have access to the documents and files I need no matter where I am working.
Viewing, working on, and organizing files as we want.
It Does not scan for viruses before they begin to upload.
Dropbox is easy to navigate, simplifying the process of storing and accessing files quickly!
I love using Dropbox for everything. From keeping documents to photos. It's super easy and convenient. I don't have to worry about losing my work. I recommend anyone who needs an extra space to save all their stuff.
I don't dislike anything. Everything is great and easy to navigate.
Dropbox helps me share things with my coworkers. Very easy to drop and send a lonk to them.
I like the ease of use it has from app to desktop version.
Nothing. I like everything I have used about the program
Dropbox saves my phone storage because those photos I need to save to files I save to Dropbox instead
I can access it anywhere! I can have multiple folders and files to organize everything.
It's easy to get disorganized- operator issues.
Organization and storage
I rely on Dropbox to store all my work, allowing me to seamlessly transition between various locations—Home, Office, Machine Shop, and Classes. The convenience of Dropbox ensures that I always have access to everything I need, regardless of where I am. The real game-changer is the immediate synchronization; if I make changes at home, they become instantly available at the Machine Shop. This efficiency has significantly enhanced my workflow.
I lost some files and i did not detect the delection so i let a lot of time pass by and could never recover the files. The Customer support was helpfull but too much time as passed by.
Umbiquity of your work files.
The fact is synchronises with all platforms and it works as a charm
I dislike the lack of free upgrade options. Would like to continue expanding the storage options
Accessing data from anywhere.
Dropbox makes sending files to clients easy and it looks extremely professional, because of the customization that can be done for the clients end (our logo on the top, etc). I use Dropbox on a daily basis and is one of my number one tools. I also love how easy it is to integrate Dropbox files into my Wix site and the many apps that can feed into it. It's is also extremely easy to upload files with a basic drag and drop. Implementing it into my workflow was a breeze.
There is very little I dislike about Dropbox. The only thing would be for clients to be able to download photos and video onto their phone without the need of an app.
It provides the cleanest way I have found to share files with clients, and to also allow them to send me feedback on the work we've created for them, truly cleaning and speeding up our workflow.
Easiest way to share files between mobile phone laptop and desktop. Also grat way to share large files with your friends.
It would be great if they would give more space in free version. But free version is great to get the feel for the product
I have the data I need on all of my devices
I've had Dropbox for years and have never considered leaving for another cloud storage provider. I love how seamless the interface is, having it mimic computer folders is wonderful because it helps me with organization, filing, sharing and routine. The plans are priced well and I am very happy as a 10year+ customer. I use Dropbox daily.
The only thing I once disliked was the requirement to give access to an entire folder vs folders within folders with people but I think that has been cleared now and is no longer a worry.
Organizing files, storing pictures and video and sharing documents with others
I love how easy it is to save files to Dropbox from my Mac. You can download a separate Dropbox file location and it installs under Favorites. Dropbox walks you through it. Then it's just a click and I have peace of mind knowing my files are backed up on Dropbox. I use it multiple times a day. I also love how easy it is to share documents via Dropbox.
I sometimes find it difficult to find older files on Dropbox. I wish there were better ways to organize files.
I'm a writer and an editor. I have to make sure files don't go missing. Dropbox is an easy recovery method. I save all my important documents to Dropbox for peace of mind. I also share files with authors and editors via Dropbox.
Make their connection of uploading much faster
Hidden tabs that aren't easy to find when looking for a feature.
Making it easier to share files with easy linking.
Dropbox allows me the extra space my device may not have. It also allows my creative team a means of getting me content a lot faster than normal.
Spacing can often be an issue. I'd like to at least be able to use the platform and not run out of space so soon.
Receivability
This service is great for sharing files. I use this everyday and it's easy to integrate into my work.
No disappointments so far. The service supports my music files.
Backup up my music files is so easy and it eliminates having multiple hard drives.
Connection Reliability. We can always count on dropbox. Our files are safe and secure.
Sometimes Raw files are really slow to open.
Allows me to very quickly share a large number of files. Also syncing across multiple devices.
