Reviews of Dropbox Business
Dropbox is Essential to our Business
Comments: Overall we like Dropbox a LOT and use it every day. If I had the option I'd go back in time and have started using it earlier.
Pros:
Dropbox for business is one of the most essential business services we use. To be honest we used the free version for many years, then upgraded several times until we got to where we are now. We are willing to pay for the cloud storage because it secures our data off site and allows us to access it out of the office. That doesn't seem like a big deal today but it wasn't always as easy as it is now. We basically use it as a file cabinet and keep about half our active files in it and use it as an archive for all our old files. It's accessed every single day and at this point we couldn't live without it. I highly recommend Dropbox for Businesses.
Cons:
One of the main cons is that we are not able to have multiple people working on the same document at the same time like Google Drive. So we have pivoted and keep more of our PDF's and non living files in Dropbox.
Good Value for the Cost
Comments: Overall, I had already researched alternatives and Dropbox Business has competitive pricing for the services offered. I'm not sure if you already have this b/c I haven't checked, but having a desktop app is a huge perk I've seen with box.com for other work.
Pros:
Storage options are generous, folder and subfolder creation is good and user friendly.
Cons:
Having to pay for more than one user login and not being able to easily sync to other cloud-based providers (which makes sense b/c then we might stop paying, but we wouldn't b/c we only need some of the files moved elsewhere).
Reliable and safe way to store files
Comments: It was pretty reliable and good to have files accessible from multiple devices.
Pros:
I liked the sync-ability of Dropbox business and the ability to see a documents history and revert to an old version if needed.
Cons:
I disliked the cost of having this service.
Alternatives Considered:
Dropbox keeps you from ever saying "Hold on while I go to the office to access that data"
Comments: I keep my multiple companies streamlined by keeping all data in the cloud and only backing up locally on my main computer
Pros:
I have been using Dropbox from its inception. Being able to access all of my data from anywhere, any time save me a lot of time
Cons:
Initially it wasnt available for mobile devices, but now practically every device is available to use with Dropbox
Excellent system to store files.
Comments: Highly recommend this to anyone needing to share files and collaborate amongst various team members across the US or different cities. Ease of use and accessibility were always top notch.
Pros:
This made it very easy to collaborate between home, office, and a variety of different colleagues. We used Dropbox to house all of our working files for creative work. It doubled as a server to store and archive all of our social media marketing, creative files, and marketing needs. It made team cross collaboration very smooth and easy when people were working in different areas of the city.
Cons:
There were a few times, when the files that were syncing with my computer where the folder sync wasn't working properly. There were also a few instances where, if I had too many sub folders, it wasn't syncing with the server.
