    Very useful platform to store important files of your company at all times.

    Date: Sep 17 2022
    Summary

    Dropbox has really performed wonderfully allowing me to store a large number of important files within my company, despite the negative things I mentioned regarding Video storage and real-time document editing, I consider this to be a great piece of software. that is very worthwhile and will help you a lot to develop your work area and store important files for you. I loved the experience of October with this platform, I consider it to be one of the best platforms to store files in the cloud, the encryption security it provides for each of your files is impressive, in addition, the ease with which you can share files with your work team is also positive, you have a shared folder with immediate access at all times. Both the version for computers, the web version and the version for mobile devices behave correctly, they provide a fairly good experience and a community within the user's design, I consider that cloud storage is quite simple within this platform and I hope it stays that way. In conclusion, I consider that my experience within this platform has been positive. I will continue to use it within my financial services industry as it is really useful.

    Positive

    Dropbox has an incredible capacity to allow constant data storage, it offers a cloud system service so you can store a large number of files and documents, you can use it for personal or work purposes, this platform offers storage in the quite stable and very collaborative cloud for all companies. The positive things that have stood out the most during my experience were:

    1- One of the main striking things that this platform has is the low prices that it manages for each of its plans, in addition, this platform has a free trial period that will allow you to store a large number of files without having to pay anything , this free trial period lasts about two weeks, then you will have to pay a very minimal amount to get a basic subscription and get more storage space. The prices are really low compared to the alternatives that this platform has.

    2- Another of the incredible things that this platform has is the synchronization that it has between devices, and I have stored several files from my mobile phone within the Dropbox cloud, all these files have been visible from the web version of this platform, Immediately, this means that if I need to transfer a file to my computer, all I have to do is upload it to the cloud, then open Dropbox on my computer and download that file, it will be available in real time.

    3- I also love the general design of this platform and how easy it is to organize each of the files you have stored, you can create different folders to divide the files and not confuse them, in addition, you have a wide variety of filters that will allow you to sort the files by upload date, weight and many other filters. In addition, this platform also has a file search system, so if you need to find a specific file, you have several ways to do it.

    4- This platform also has a shared folder system, a system that is quite important because it will help you share files with your work team without the need to use a shared link. By simply storing the files within this shared folder, each of your employees and work colleagues who are integrated into your work team, will be able to access this file within the cloud. This shared folder feature is extremely important, and it will allow you to share files very easily.

    Negative

    Dropbox is a really useful platform when you are using it for cloud storage, it will allow you to store a large number of files at a low cost, in addition, you will be able to share several files with your work team without having to make much effort, this platform It has a lot of positive features and tools that will help you have a pretty good cloud storage, however, there are also several negative things that need to be mentioned, such as:

    1- Dropbox does not have a real-time document editing system, so if you have several documents stored on this platform and you want to modify them in real time with the collaboration of your work team, this will not be possible. currently, only one person can modify a document simultaneously, when several people try to modify a document, the platform will create immediate copies for the number of people who are editing the document. I would really like to modify documents in real time with the help of my work team, this would achieve a pretty perfect collaboration system.

    2- Another of the negative things that you notice or about this platform is the preview of the images within the platform, when I try to open an image that is stored in my cloud, this process takes a couple of seconds, the opening of the images it is not immediate as it happens inside my computer, when opening the images within this platform the process can take a few seconds.

    3- Also this platform decreases the video quality a lot when a new video is uploaded to the cloud. Several Videos within my cloud on several occasions, and I have noticed that when I share these Shared Link Videos with some friends, they see the video with a much lower quality. This is a real negative point, I consider that the quality should not be affected at any time, the video should be uploaded and shared with the same quality.

    Collaboration at its finest

    Date: Aug 19 2022
    Summary

    Overall, I think Dropbox is a great area to store and use collaboration between work teams. It is one of many similar softwares out there, but I have enjoyed it.

    Positive

    Share files with others and/or on other devices. It is easy to use both on computer and on a phone. I also appreciate that it is always being backed up and saved.

    Negative

    It is really hard to search for items, docs, videos, etc. that are in Dropbox. So, you have to make sure it stays very organized so you know where to find everything.

    It has a file synchronization in a centralized and secure space.

    Date: Dec 30 2022
    Summary

    With this platform I have been able to have a site or system for managing my company's files and also be able to protect them without losing files, thus being able to keep everything internal with my work team. With Dropbox I can have a kind of central file container so that they are available to the company's employees, also being able to assign ranges so that they can or cannot access certain files and thus maintain control and security of the files and their data.

    I have been able to put together a network of folders which are divided into different levels for each department that is within my company and likewise be able to determine who has access to each of them. In addition, I have also included clients to certain folders when it comes to important documents or photographs storage for properties to be placed for sale. So I have endless options by having a cloud file container that is automatically backed up and well encrypted so no intruders can hijack it. Also, I don't want to forget about the ransomware attack that I had within my company, which helped me with the antivirus that Dropbox has integrated, and that the backup copies allowed me to recover everything.

    Positive

    Installing and starting is very easy, so I had no issues during setup on new company devices. In addition, it allows proxy connections which gives me the possibility of providing more security to company files since I reduce the possibility of intruders inside my company's main Dropbox account. It doesn't matter what operating system you're running, it's easy to install Dropbox, it's even possible to install it as an extension within any browser.

    It has a function that makes it possible to recover one or more files up to a year old, this was useful to me in the past since an employee had mistakenly deleted files from their original Dropbox path and not from their computer, which was the what I was originally going to do. However, this could be resolved as it didn't take long before we noticed, the files were recovered without any issues and without any corruption. This was important because usually when trying to recover some data from a hard drive HDD after erasing it, it will probably recover with errors because it was overwritten or simply not possible because the original seed cannot be found. from the data source.

    I can have full control over the links generated to share the files, this was useful for me as I was able to determine the date the link will be unavailable and other things like assigning passwords to the links, allowing certain users to access inside and outside of Dropbox and many more features that make me feel secure in being able to have full control of each and every link that is generated. In addition, I have a section to see all the generated links, thus allowing me to quickly know which files or folders are being shared.

    Synchronization is almost immediate, regardless of how many devices are linked, it is possible to see the files uploaded in all Dropbox sessions started on different devices immediately and with little delay. This is important to me because there is a folder that is used within my company to be able to share everything without the need to generate links, just put the file there and download it, that is when privacy within the file itself is not required. So it was helpful to be able to upload something and have it instantly to just pick it up and use it.

    Negative

    The password system does not have a two-step security in case you do not have an internet connection of the synchronized devices to authorize to see the passwords. This is important to me because I use certain devices only for two-step security unlock and sometimes I forget about it. So a good option would be the one that Google offers, a set of 10 offline mode passwords to be able to access the passwords without necessarily requiring Face ID, Touch ID or Android fingerprints, this for the purpose of practicality.

    The speed of uploading and downloading the files is extremely slow, despite the fact that I have contracted a high speed of Internet browsing, Dropbox seems to have a limitation with the speed of its servers, which has a limited amount per user. In general, to counteract this, what I do is the following: if I have several files to upload and they are large and I also want to use all the power of my internet to upload it almost immediately, what I do is that in each of the users who has the main Dropbox account, I upload a part of the files or files simultaneously, this allows me maximum performance and also, since I have a great internet speed, my connection does not collapse. This is the solution that I have been able to establish to upload large files, yes, you have to synchronize with the team which is going to be in favor of uploading said files.

    The prices have increased since I started using this platform for years, it is incredible to see how Dropbox costs have evolved, also as I mentioned before, it has speed limits, so I have not been able to stop paying for a plan I have offered. a better transfer speed that is similar to the speed of the internet that I have. I have contacted support several times and they do not seem to give me solutions for that problem. Another thing is that the support is also a bit slow in giving solutions, usually I have no problems with this platform, but the few that I have had have not been solutions that effective and usually I have to wait for future updates to see if whether or not to implement these solutions.

    Smooth uploading and downloading of files at incredible speed.

    Date: Dec 12 2022
    Summary

    Dropbox is a platform that has been present in the real estate company for more than four years, the main reason why we started using it was because this platform offered us storage space at a very affordable price, previously we used storage platforms in the cloud that was very expensive when it came to offering us a large storage space. Dropbox has earned our trust a lot, more than 500 employees in our company are using it as the main measure to store files in the cloud, in addition, we no longer have to use any type of removable drive to share documents between employees, with just Using this platform, we can share important documents online, just by using a direct link for each document. In addition, Dropbox has made it possible for our company to protect very important documents and files, we no longer have to store these documents in our computers, in addition, the space on the computers has greatly benefited since we have been able to eliminate unnecessary files and we have also Being able to store files in the cloud and save space on our computers, I consider that Dropbox has been a very important platform for us, and I also consider continuing to use it for the next few years to share documents and files with all my employees.

    Positive

    Dropbox is a great platform to optimize the storage process in the cloud, since this platform offers a large storage space at a very affordable price, one of the first things I liked about this platform is that it is capable of processing files quickly when they are uploading or when they are downloading, I have enjoyed great speed when uploading files in the cloud when using the version for computers, the web version and also the version for mobile phones, in all three versions the upload of all files has performed amazingly and I have been able to upload a large number of files and documents that are important to me in a very fast manner. Another thing that I liked about this platform is that it has a shared folder, this shared folder is located in the lower left corner, it is easy to access and you can store any type of file or document within that folder, that shared folder It will be visible to the employees or colleagues that you have integrated into your work team. This shared folder is very useful for sharing files immediately. The third thing that I liked about this cloud storage platform is the great sensitivity it has when it comes to editing documents, even though the editing of documents cannot be done together, I can still edit any type of document Word or PowerPoint, as well as Excel-type documents, Dropbox has immediate accessibility to online editing of all types of documents, which helps me to edit documents in the cloud without having to download that document to my computer or device mobile.

    Negative

    One of the main disadvantages of this platform is that it is not possible to compress files in the cloud, for example, if I want to reduce the download size of a large number of files, it would be great to be able to compress them when using this platform, but currently covered, It doesn't have that function, which causes you to have to download all the files with the original size, It really is very necessary that this function is implemented in order to reduce the download size of any type of file, this function would be amazing within this cloud platform. Another of the negative things about this platform is the upload of videos, I really do not recommend a platform to upload videos in high quality, since this platform in the cloud greatly decreases the quality so that this video can be shared through a direct link or shared folder I recommend that this platform is not used to share videos, the quality that each video decreases is a lot. The third negative thing about this platform is that despite the fact that the original design was quite basic and it becomes very familiar with the users, I consider that it is necessary to implement new interface customization functions, currently this platform does not allow the The user can modify the interface to their liking, the color of the general interface cannot be changed in any of the available versions, in addition, I cannot change the design of how the files stored in this cloud are displayed, it would be excellent to implement in many more customization features in Dropbox.

    Date: Jun 13 2022
    Summary

    Dropbox is great. Cheap, easy, predictable. Love being able to share folders with other people, too, which we do often for business purposes. Love the phone app.

    Positive

    Dropbox is great. I love being able to access files from any computer, anywhere, as well as my phone.

    Negative

    Wish it allowed more desktop users for the price instead of limiting to just a few. I work from about 5 different computers on a daily basis, which means I have to use the web browser on one or two of them. Not terrible, but adds an extra step logging in.

    An excellent cloud storage system with a built-in encryption key.

    Date: Jul 10 2022
    Summary

    Our general experience covers the operation that we have had in the entirety of our company. We are a real estate company, for which the security of all our files is paramount to us, storing files within the Dropbox cloud has been a very convenient solution for us, since we have stored large amounts of important and confidential documents, currently We have freed up a lot of space on all our computers with the help of the Dropbox cloud, we have been able to store large amounts of documents within the cloud that we have obtained on this platform. It is also important to note that the Dropbox cloud is in constant operation within all sectors of our company, all our employees are using this service because it has helped us to send and receive files in a few seconds. I am happy with the general performance that I have had with this platform, I think that only some things should be improved such as the free trial and the upload of files from mobile devices, Since currently it is not possible to upload files from my phone when the application is running in the background. It's also important to note that we've gotten a great pay rate for our Dropbox cloud, so it's great to be able to store files and pay a rate that's beneficial to us.

    Positive

    Dropbox is one of the best mechanisms that exist today to develop totally reliable cloud storage, where users can access all their files as many times as they want. The Dropbox cloud works great, uploading and downloading files can be done quickly and without interruptions on various versions of the platform, both in the web version and in its version for mobile devices or computers. One of the things that I liked the most during my experience with Dropbox were the following:

    - The main thing I like about Dropbox is that it is a system which allows me to create a shared folder within the platform, that shared folder helps me share files with my work colleagues without the need to send them a direct link to it. file and without the need to use a complex process of sending files or documents. This shared folder works 24/7, that means my employees and colleagues will be able to access this folder and get all the files in it anytime or anytime.

    - Dropbox has a fairly comfortable interface, using this software in general is very comfortable due to its excellent organization in all sections and its easy handling, the platform in general is quite easy to use, you can easily upload and download files, you can also view the files without any problem and in a matter of minutes.

    - The application for computers is fantastic, it automatically creates a folder on the desktop which will be used to store all my files directly in the cloud. To store files in my Dropbox cloud you don't need to open any type of specific application, you just need to drag all those files to the folder on the desktop, immediately all those files will be synchronized with my Dropbox cloud and will upload automatically.

    - I love the viewing of documents and images within this software, it's amazing to be able to view and avoid any type of document, although users should be careful as documents cannot be edited simultaneously by multiple people, however when If you need to modify a specific document, you can do it from this platform without having to download the document, without a doubt it is a very important function.

    Negative

    During my experience with Dropbox, October several benefits that helped my files remain totally safe in a cloud that has an encryption key as security priority, my experience was quite positive in several aspects, however some negative things also emerged and that resulted Rather, these negative things that I present were the following:

    - The mobile app would not allow me to upload files while running in the background. I have installed the application on my iOS device, and I have tried uploading a fairly large file to my Dropbox cloud, however I was not successful because while the file was being uploaded, I minimized the application and left it running on background, when I opened the application I noticed that the progress of the file upload was not increasing, I immediately realized that the upload of the files cannot be done in the background within the mobile device, I have to stay within the application while uploading this file.

    - The free trial that Dropbox offered me was not complete, this platform only allowed me to store up to 2 GB in the cloud, I consider that the amount of storage space in the cloud that they offered me for free is quite low compared to other platforms that I They offer the same service. The free trial within that platform is also limited due to the fact that there is a limit of 10 files that can be uploaded to the cloud simultaneously. In my personal opinion, I think that the free trial should be expanded and the benefits for new users increased.

    Functional software to store files in the cloud without the need for a complex process.

    Date: May 27 2022
    Summary

    Despite the various bugs and inconveniences that I have experienced during my experience with Dropbox, I must mention that I have been able to store my files safely in the cloud and I feel that I have had a pretty good experience that could be improved with the help of the optimization of the factors that I mentioned earlier. My experience with this platform was quite complete because it allowed me to store files in the cloud without the need to carry out any complex process, it also helped me share all these files directly with the help of a shared link, by sending this link to any person, they will be able to access that file without any kind of limit. This platform also helped me share files with my work sector, within the Dropbox platform we can create a shared folder, where all the files stored in that folder can be viewed by whatever is within our work group, this has no place It's certainly a pretty cool feature for us as it helps us share files with our employees without sending external links. I am happy with the overall functionality of Dropbox, it just needs to improve the mobile app for this software to be quite functional in all aspects.

    Positive

    Dropbox has been used in our company for about two years, and cloud storage has been widely used in our company from various sectors. First, I must say that I love the way that Dropbox has to store files without having to enter its web version, this cloud storage service allows me to store files by simply entering them into a folder that is automatically created on my computer, When I download the Dropbox application for my computer, it automatically creates a folder on my desktop where all the files that I put in that folder can be automatically stored in my cloud. Another of the things that I loved about this platform is that it is able to help me find files much faster, it has a fairly effective search filter which is capable of showing me the most recent, oldest, largest files, or in alphabetical order. The search center system works great, it has allowed me to find files much faster, since in our Dropbox cloud we have a large number of Files, and without this filter it would be a total disaster to find a specific one. Finally I must mention that I loved the free trial of Dropbox, when I started using this software I agreed to the free trial because I needed to test each of the functions it had, however, after testing this software for a while we decided to acquire a payment plan. The free trial was quite beneficial for us, it helped us learn how to fully use the platform.

    Negative

    One of the main setbacks that occurs during the experience with Dropbox is that this platform is not also used in its version for mobile devices. The problem I had was with the app on my iOS device, when I installed the app and tried to upload some file, the file would not upload properly if it didn't stay inside the app, When I put this app in secondary operation to access another app, the file you are previously uploading did not finish uploading successfully, the file upload process would freeze and not progress until you canceled and re-uploaded it manually. This error happened to me repeatedly, there was no way to access another application while uploading a file from this mobile application, I hope that I will not be in this problem as soon as possible to allow me to upload files from my mobile without any problem. Currently, to counteract the problem that I have presented from my mobile device, I have chosen to only upload files from my computer, and use the mobile app to only view files stored in my cloud. Another of the two negatives that I have to mention about Dropbox is that it is not able to allow me to modify any document simultaneously, I cannot modify a document together, it would be great to be able to modify documents with the help of my colleagues, where we can both make some changes and all these changes are seen in real time, this does not happen in thrombus because it is quite limited in that functionality, it only allows an edition of the document at the same moment.

    Very complete service to store and protect all types of files or documents.

    Date: Nov 17 2022
    Summary

    Despite the negative characteristics mentioned about the platform, I consider that it is really useful to store a large number of documents and files when necessary, also if any user is looking for a platform that provides constant security for each one of them. files, is the best option to consider, Dropbox offers a totally secure platform which has an encryption key for each of the files shared with different people. I have had a good experience with this platform mainly because it has helped me to share files with my software sector in my real estate company, I consider that this platform has been very easy to use, the general interface of it is quite, to use and it helps to that we can manage and organize all the documents and files stored in a simple way. I hope to follow you really think so complete with this one more cloud service I am really comfortable with the general usage and I am also comfortable with the fee I am paying to use the premium services.

    Positive

    Dropbox is a platform that has been present in many companies for more than two years. The main reason we started using this platform was because we needed a service that would help us protect each of our company's important files. One of the main features that I liked about this software is that it offers me a shared folder which benefits me a lot. This shared folder benefits me because it allows me to share files with each of my employees or each of the participants of my sector in a simple way, by simply entering any file within that folder, all the participants or members that are in that folder, for the same reason, use them and access those files immediately. I also liked that this platform was able to offer us a pretty complete free trial, this free trial offers a lot of storage space and gives you an access to the vast majority of cloud storage features, so if a person wants to start to use this platform to approve it, you will not have any problem. In addition, I love the synchronization system between devices that this platform has, since it has been able to process each of the files stored from my mobile phone, and reflect them on my computer, each of the files that are stored in the cloud from my mobile phone, they can be viewed and accessed from my computer in the web version or in the downloadable version for computers.

    Negative

    The main problems with this platform is that it was not able to provide me with a good editing system for documents in the cloud, it is important to highlight that all the documents stored in this cloud have remained totally secure, the security that it has provided me for my business documents has been quite optimal, however, I have not been satisfied with the document editing system, since I cannot edit documents collaboratively, it would be great to be able to modify documents with the help of my employees, that I can view in time each of the changes they make to a specific document, and vice versa. In addition, another of the negative characteristics of this platform is regarding the storage of videos, since the videos that are uploaded to the clouds automatically lower the quality, so when you go to share that video with a direct link, the person who watch the video, you won't see it in much lower quality, so don't recommend platform to share Videos with other people by sharing link, because it doesn't offer good quality.

    Fantastic service to share files without leaving the work area.

    Date: Apr 17 2022
    Summary

    Our overall experience has been fairly proportional since we started using this platform in our work area. Firstly, Dropbox was started to be used in our corporate sector to share documents and files instantly, as time passed we realized that Dropbox could provide us with better results on a general level, so we decided to expand all this software in all sectors of the company. Currently, Dropbox works in all our sectors and has been used to transfer documents, files of all kinds, images and much more in a totally secure way, the transfer is done without the need to share any type of file credential, in addition, it is done in online and there is no need to leave the workplace to share any specific file, it is fantastic and we are glad to be using this cloud storage service!

    Positive

    Previously, we used other cloud storage services that were a bit less efficient than Dropbox and offered a bit more limited things, so we were motivated to try Dropbox in our company, we were looking for a better storage system capable of offering us better services generals. What I liked the most about the time I've been using Dropbox was the following:

    1. Dropbox offered me a free trial that helped me test the software. When I was considering replacing our old storage software with Dropbox, I was able to access the free trial they offered me and it was quite convenient to be able to test the uploading, downloading and encryption system that it has. The free trial helped me make sure I bought Dropbox.

    2. I loved the way I can upload my files from my computer without any complex process, just locate the Dropbox folder and insert all the files that I want to be stored in the cloud there. In the background, the files that I have inserted in that folder will be uploaded. Having it upload in the background is great, it allows me to do other things while the save is successful.

    3. The Mobile App works great, plus I can immediately access all the files I've uploaded from my mobile phone to the Dropbox cloud from my computer. The cloud works seamlessly by connecting various devices.

    Negative

    To be honest, my experience with Dropbox yielded quite a few positive factors that have helped me to continue to use the platform wisely, but during my experience there was only one negative factor that I think needs to be optimized and fixed in Dropbox. This negative factor was:

    1. In Dropbox it is not possible to edit documents or modify any file online together. It is not a system that works well together, users cannot edit a file together, only one person should edit a file or document, otherwise multiple copies of the file will be created automatically depending on how many people are editing this file. It would be great to be able to edit files online, so there is no need to use third-party apps for editing altogether.

    Date: Jan 25 2022

    Positive

    The platform allows you to share files and access them via the cloud. The interface is easy to use. Easy to set up an account.

    Negative

    I am not confident in the security of Dropbox. It is too easily accessible for me to put any sensitive files.

    Overall, Dropbox is a highly cost-effective platform that gives the best-grade security for file storage and sharing without any limitations of size. The platform user friendly and offers tons of features to control who can access files, has auto synchronization and note support.

    Positive

    The premium plans are very cost-effective and have multiple plans. The user interface is so simple and you don't need any training or tutorial to operate it. It offers file access control which assures that only authorized users can access it.

    Negative

    No major downside I experienced on Dropbox. It's a great tool.

    Safe cloud storage

    Date: Aug 21 2022
    Summary

    I would say that Dropbox has been a great ally in our business through providing a stable service that we can use as our central platform to locate our files. As a small business, we had to figure out many things on our own and we learned the importance of backing up our files and having a solution that provides encryption level safety for all our documents. From financial, to usual daily tasks that relate to our monthly and quarterly projects, Dropbox has been the place where we keep all our information for easier access and easier location. No more lost files in our emails or lost files in our local computers, because it automatically synchronizes everything so that we don’t have to upload things in large batches at the same time, saving us lots of time. Because this is our main cloud storage solution and it serves as the place where we locate all our files, it also increases our productivity because we are all able to collaborate and comment on our projects simultaneously, and get notifications of all edits and comments so that everyone is kept up to date on any important changes.

    Positive

    Dropbox is a good cloud storage solution that is very easy to use. It is fairly simple to store our important files and share them with the entirety of our team with quickness; the platform is visually stunning and provides a great user experience by displaying the tools with simplicity and uploading files with efficiency and in no time. I like that Dropbox synchronizes with our local files and automatically uploads certain folders where our business files are, so we don’t have to manually do the process every time and it saves us time when working on multiple things. It also speeds up the process of sharing our files with external people, as I only have to open my Dropbox account and send it from there by email or through a shared link, even if they don’t use Dropbox. I also like that this software provides an extensive amount of storage, and in terms of price, it is better and more affordable than other solutions out there.
    Additionally, Dropbox values security a lot, and it increases safety even inside the software, allowing me to edit permissions whenever I want to and restrict certain folders so only certain members have access to them. I like this feature a lot as it helps maintain corporate hierarchy in our business, and I also like that Dropbox allows us to delete files from different devices in case the device has been lost or stolen, this helps prevent our information from leaking and we can do it from our own devices. This software also has a set of features that are very nice to work with and helps streamline our workflow, such as the ability to take screenshots directly from Dropbox and share them quickly, or have an open conversation in different files where everyone can comment and give their opinions on a project task or notify if some changes were made to a file and it allows for seamless collaboration inside the app. Lastly, I find that the mobile app is a really good application that has the same set of nice features as in desktop and I can easily upload files and edit them on it, maintaining the same collaboration level and the same fluid efficiency as in the desktop and web application.

    Negative

    When we started using Dropbox, I have to say that the guides weren’t the most user-friendly or explanatory for a beginner starting to use a cloud storage software. In addition to that, the customer service wasn’t very responsive to our doubts and they still remain the same way, which I dislike a lot because any questions I’ve had haven’t been properly replied and solved. However, when we managed to figure out how to use this solution, we were met with the great benefits to it and the amazing collaborative and storage tools that it offers, and we haven’t had any issues of missing files which was my main concern when starting to use this software. Dropbox has been a solution that I have been able to support myself on as it provides great security tools and back-up features that automatically saves us time.

    Dropbox a fantastic cloud based documents storage product

    Date: Sep 26 2022
    Summary

    Dropbox is the best cloud based documents storage software. It is highly secure and effective product as compare to other cloud based softwares. It is very well customized product. It is well integrated with most of the useful applications. I always keep it in my mobile device for sharing documents with my fellows and seniors. Its premium version has many effective features. Even the free version is an outstanding facility.

    Positive

    Dropbox is the best cloud based documents storage software better than many similar products available in the market. I use dropbox for keeping my important documents in cloud based software. Most of the times i have to travel from one city to another city, so it seems quite difficult to carry documents in hard copies or to carry laptops with me. I simply store all my documents in dropbox and use it through mobile device anywhere anytime. So to me this is a heaven like product. This software is well customized and well integrated with multiple applications. I highly recommend this software for use.

    Negative

    Dropbox has many useful features and quite difficult to point out its weaknesses. We can not store so many files in the free version of dropbox but after purchasing paid version we can avail its all useful features and facilities. Its paid version is little costly and customers service can be improved.

    Dropbox is the file sharing king!

    Date: Apr 05 2022
    Summary

    Dropbox works so well and does exactly what it says. Using AWS on the backend makes for great, reliable, secure storage. I love the peace of mind Dropbox provides for all of my files and the simplicity of file sharing makes it my go to service. You won't be disappointed using Dropbox and it's worth every penny!

    Positive

    There are many choices for file sharing services but none of them can compare with Dropbox. It is the most reliable and trustworthy system and stands out from the rest for its features and price.

    I have been using Dropbox for years and years and I completely trust the company with over a terabyte of data. The security policies are transparent and well-documented.

    My favorite feature is how easy it is to share files and I love how this service is not tethered to any other account (ie Google Drive or iCloud) and simply works on its own, as it should, every time. Smartsync is an exceptional feature as well.

    Negative

    Sometimes it can take a while to upload files to Dropbox - especially larger ones. I have also had issues resyncing the Dropbox folder with the server if the connection is lost - while this is rare, it can be annoying to have to resync a giant Dropbox folder.
