Compare Dropbox with other popular tools in the same category.
it is available irrespective of the platform and is reliable.
I can't think of anything I dislike about Dropbox.
i can be on one platform at the office, another at home and there is seemless integration.
The auto syncing and files sharing is the most convenient functions I like.
The size of Dropbox before upgrade is kinda small.
It helped me sharing files with specific teammate with no hassle.
Multiple people can edit word documents in real time, using the desktop app! Data can be uploaded and brought directly into R for analysis - seamlessly.
Sometimes the desktop extension fails to sync - might just be my computer - but restoration the computer has alasays resolved the issue.
Secure data storage that enables real time collaboration and an ability to pull data directly into data analysis software.
It offers a free storage option in the cloud to have all of my important files available anywhere.
It costs money to store more than the free plan option.
file access anywhere
Dropbox is great at keeping files easily accessible. I use different devices - work laptop, home laptop, iPad, iPhone - and I can get any important file anywhere. I literally use it every day. Plus, the free storage credits for referrals make it a great deal.
Occasionally the sync with the native Mac app isn't exactly real time.
Keeping my documents live and accessible regardless of device or operating system.
Ease of use, interface, connectivity, etc
File location is a little hard for me to use for some reason.

Dropbox is very helpful in that it enhances the way we share documents with Clients.
The cost for using the upgraded version of Dropbox leans a bit towards the expensive side.
The ability for the Firm and our Clients to all look at the same documents.
Dropbox is very user friendly. My favorite thing to use Dropbox for is to organize and send discovery. It allows you to send one link for all discovery in multiple folders.
I wish there was a way in Dropbox to drag and drop files between folders or to be able to do a simple copy and paste of files between folders.
I can send large files quickly and easily. I can also have shared folders with clients so that we can quickly drop things into the files so that we can make sure we have every file needed.
It's easier to use than one drive or google drive.
It needs a view that will allow you to cull through files you don't need anymore.
I have a way to move files around that's quick and easy.

It gives access to only three devices at a time
I am able to share files with peers and colleagues
No issues with it; very reliable; easy to use
Nothing, it's reliable and easy to use, it's great!
Efficient storage of closed legal matters
I like the user friendly way of sharing files. The process is easy and it's easy for others to be able to view my uploaded documents.
I dislike having to verify my email each time I log in.
Our files are sometimes too large to send via email and Dropbox allows me to upload documents where that is an issue.
Dropbox is very user friendly, convenient and a safe way for file sharing with our clients.
There is no downside to using Dropbox, I have not found one reason to dislike it.
This is the file sharing method compatible with all of my client's email addresses so I use it frequently for video file sharing.
I love you can upload, email and send and receive files on the go. It's swift and easy, straight forward. It's easy to use and has countless features.
Honestly, it's a well rounded process and I have no complaints.
Accessing files where ever I am, no matter what I am doing I can always easily use the account and quickly work with business's to accomplish task
I use Dropbox to store and transfer all of the music projects that I make on my computer so that I may listen or access them anywhere. I love how Dropbox allows access across different devices and how secure I feel using it. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for a tool like this!
The only thing I dislike is the device limit for free accounts. Although being able to use 3 devices with it without paying anything is nice, I would be even more satisfied if the limit was raised
Dropbox allows me to access files anywhere across my devices. It is also well integrated with Windows, so it is easy to use and understand.
Easy to use, desktop & Mobile friendly, I can save & share my projects & files on the go. Offline saving is great for files you want to keep available anytime.
Apple music integration would be a dream.
File sharing & audio file previewing.
I am a musi producer dropbox allows me to save my clients and my own work securely . I am able to access the files to work on them whenever i need it and from different locations.
I find dropbox search clunky it doesnt work well I love the idea of dropbox paper but until they introduce a Kanban system it is useless to me
being able to save and access music files and sessions store and curate my own work
The convenience of having your files anywhere anytime.
Throughout the years, I was able to sync my dropbox to my different devices even though I could carry two at a time, I didn't have to unlinked them.. Now you only allow three devices unless you have a premium subscription.
Dropbox is enabling me to carry my files on my devices to the cloud, instead of using space in my device, or carrying a USB stick.
I use it to store and share music production files and it's a breeze, specially for collaboration.
So far, no downsides about Dropbox. It's been amazing.
File sharing between clients and bandmates
I can drop files and add them quickly, making music sharing with other musicians a snap
At least with my free version, even though it allows me quite a bit of space it appears that once i've "used " the space it is gone, even after deleting files regularly.
Quick sharing of files
super fast, works great. you can work onine smooth.
nothing. great software. easy to use. can be a bit frustrating when the internet connection is not stable
a great way to replace old hardisks. backup your data and acsses from anywere
Access simply & quickly, Files secure...
Website file structure can be clunky....
Sending audio files for collaboration and to clients. Enables near real-time collaboration with audio software in comparison to sending files back and forth.
My favourite part about dropbox is our ability to archive old files for future use and the ease of sharing single files or whole folders with other team members. It makes collaboration seamless without the worry of having to assign sharing emails at the source. I also love that I can make older files live in the cloud without taking up space on my hard drive but be assured that they are safe. This makes annual archiving really easy!
I wish there were larger personal accounts for storage!
Dropbox solves our file storage and sharing issues and makes it easy to manage, search and find new and old items between multiple team members.
I find Dropbox indispensible is sharing large (and small) files to indivduals and groups. I use it for music and video projects. The upload/download speeds are now excellent and virtually transparent. I also enjoy being able to access my media on Dropbox through my phone for listening while away from the studio. I use it every day. In the current version it's simple and intuitive to use.
Sometimes the ownership of a folder, etc. can be problematic -- it can be fixed through copying, etc. but that's no fun.
Moving large media files for assessment, development, etc. Sharing relevant documents.
I've been using Dropbox for about 14 years....I absolutely love, love, love it! I wear several hats (I'm a research nurse, musician, household CEO)....and have used Dropbox for large and small projects. (Everything from collaborating international research projects to collaborating with music producers to complete a song "virtually"). I travel a great deal so finding a platform that allows me safely and reliably store everything electronically is a MUST! A few of my favorite features are;the ability to easily "scan" and upload documents from my phone, ability to convert files to word.doc or .pdf, the massive storage capabilities and the capability to "rewind" (or undo) your history so you never lose any important information are a few of my favorite features.
I use Dropbox daily and although their customer support is good i do wish there was a way to reach them by phone for dropbox pro users.
Ability to collaborate by sharing large files with music producers is wonderful. I wish more musicians used dropbox. In my non-musician roles I utilize dropbox all the time. I travel a great deal so finding a platform that allows me safely and reliably store business and personal documents electronically is a MUST! The fact that I can scan and upload from my phone makes it easy.
I love the integration between my laptop, iPad, and iPhone cloud service. And I feel it's even better than Apple's own ecosystem! Thank you!
The mobile view can be a bit tedious to get around at first, but if youguys can work that, you'll just continue to have a great program!
Dropbox allows me to connect all my business and personal documents! Just by buying the upgraded select version
