There are no downsides to Dropbox. Very user friendly.

how long pictures take to load as I am trying to find one from the past.

It allows me to store all the content I write in one place.

I appreciate our ability to share work across devices and between individuals

Challenges with large files filling Dropbox free accounts of infrequent users

I appreciate the way Dropbox allows me to share files in the process of creation. I work with a diverse team whose physical locations are spread throughout our city. Dropbox allows us to work together despite not being together in one office. I also appreciate that, while our team members have Dropbox accounts, we can invite others to view particular folders without needing a full Dropbox account. I also value the fact that I can sign into my Dropbox account from any of my computers or devices and make adjustments to files as necessary. With Dropbox I always have my files with me.

Easy access to files and sharing it with others

Pricing should be reduced it get very expensive for college students

Easy access to files

The best thing about using Dropbox is that I can grab files or photos from anywhere. I tend to save and print from Dropbox.I literally use it daily!

The only.thing I don't like is the monthly rate. It's a little high to pay and I feel like my files are now held hostage because it would be difficult to move everything at this point.

It helps with storage needs I might typically use a computer for, now it's available in a more compact place.

I love being able to see my documents when I'm on the go! I have Dropbox installed on my mobile device and it has saved me numerous times!

I don't know of any downsides! I have no complaints.

It solves the problem of only being able to work on something from my desktop computer. I can work from anywhere!

Storage ability as well as pricing. I like how the app allows me to seamlessly sync across laptop and mobile.

Wish teams could be used for a cheaper cost.

Allowing me to share client work easily

How convenient it is to access my documents. I have it set up where I can access them on my computer, tablet, and phone. Before, I always had to emial myself individual documents.

I have two accounts-- a personal account and one associated with my college. My personal account is almost full, but I thought I was saving my college papers on my college account. I just need to sit down and figure out what I'm doing wrong before my files stop backing up.

Having common access to documents.

The most helpful thing is that it's easy to access my documents and quickly browse for what I need when sending or emailing something to someone.

The downside is that I had to start paying a fee, which isn't such a downside because I started using more space as well as others so I guess this has to be funded somehow.

I'm able to store important information, share it and quickly access it.

Dropbox is inconspicuous and doesn't require additional steps to access or save files in Windows. It's just folders that are cloud-linked. I use dropbox across all my devices and I have never had a document save the wrong version in Dropbox, which makes a difference. I always know whether I am auto-saving or whether I need to manually save documents.

The dropbox website is a bit clunky and hard to navigate to find files I need. I hardly ever use it, but when I do, it is less confidence-inspiring than the folders saved on my computers.

Dropbox solves the problem of multiple work locations. I also use google drive, but I don't feel it is as easy to navigate folders and I like the more rigid file folder structure of Dropbox.

Ease of use. The easy app for my phone. Being able to edit documents from within dropbox.

I wish my pictures could be as easily found as they were when they were on my iPhone

Sharing files and storing files

Back up data very quickly on many platforms and devices

Recent updates on the iPhone App no longer cover the live photo image format to mov video

I can view photos taken on Iphone to other devices such as PC, Android and IPad

Many different features, my most favorite feature is the dropbox transfer

Dropbox sign is confusing to use and not user friendly, need more features also

Sending confidential documents

I have used Dropbox since approximately 2008 to synchronize folders and files between multiple workstations at my medical office and my home office. As a specialist in sleep medicine, it was the only way to easily organize all my work and provide the best patient care that I could. I am also a photographer and Dropbox was able to help me maintain all my software and correspondence and many of the commercial photographic albums that my clients required. All in all, I was able to synchronize everything between my laptop, my two workstations at home and multiple workstations in multiple clinics in Western Canada.

Recently, the Canadian government has recommended that physicians not use Dropbox because it is a US product with servers based in the United States. HIPPA is a US regulation that does not apply to Canada. The concern seems to be that US regulators theoretically could poke through all the patient files and destroy any semblance of confidentiality. In going even further, the Ministry of Health in British Columbia recently passed legislation regulating the necessity for all patient records of BC residents to only reside on computers physically present in the province of British Columbia. Personally, this is a lot of "hooey" as my mother used to say, or "rubbish" as the Brits like to say but it's part of an ongoing anti-US climate which has been purveys of for the past three decades. Having worked both in Canada, the US, the UK, Europe and the Middle East over my medical career, both Canada and the UK have become virulently anti-American from a government standpoint. It really is distressing.

Well the business issue is that I have to make a living and I do so by taking care of patients in my specialist sleep medicine practice. Because I work out of four different clinics scattered across British Columbia plus out of my home-based medical office on Vancouver Island, my multiple workstations have to be synchronized identically in terms of all of my correspondence, notes, files and sleep studies. Dropbox has done this from day one.

I can easily save files. Dropbox also makes it easy to share files especially large ones.

I don't have any dislikes with dropbox at all!

I am able to share large files with coworkers to allow for collaboration.

Dropbox offers some really great features - I can send a link to a file on the service to anyone who isn't on the service; I can share folders and data with select people; and I get plenty of space. (There's the requisite get-free-space-to-have-your-friends-sign-on, but even at a rock bottom $10 month for 100 GB, there's still plenty of value to Dropbox).

My only major dislike is that, if I am removed from a folder, I do not get a note saying, "You are no longer connected to this folder" - one assignment ended abruptly, and I had some notes and work in process that should have been kept with me. However, this is a minor quibble - all in all, I really enjoy Dropbox.

Much of my work involves sharing large folders and files, whether it's business/marketing information or (as my sideline) scans and proofing copies of pulp reissues. Dropbox allows me to work remote at any venue - I use the web version, but the Android app on my tablet works wonderfully as well. I'm finding myself better able to meet deadlines and craft marketing copy that more closely resembles what my client is seeking....and in the end, it fosters collaboration.

The ability to share photo and video files to multiple team members at the same time. Team members are able to collaborate and make adjustments without having to use email.

When multiple Dropbox accounts are used it will use the storage from both accounts.

Sharing files between multiple concepts and servers

There are a lot of similar services and solutions out there but Dropbox does it the best; it's simple and easy to use regardless of what you're using it for! I work in a variety of spaces and I'm able to use Dropbox for all of my work and intended audiences. I use it daily for all my work and to "put away" files I don't need on my laptop. I have not explored all of the new features and add-ons but I am absolutely aware of them

The full package can be a tad pricy but it's definitely worth it

File transfers, sharing and collaboration
