    Most familiar online storage with other users

    Date: Aug 13 2021
    Summary

    This is a good and useful online storage with many features. Its popularity means it is integrated into a lot of other programs. Unfortunately, the free account limits you more than other online storage solutions because of the low free storage space.

    Positive

    This is the OG of cloud storage. It made uploading, sharing, downloading, and editing your documents popular and easy.

    Negative

    The allotted storage space for free accounts is a little low. With only 6.25 GB (why?) there is an obvious push to upgrade to premium pricing, especially when so many other applications have dropbox integrated in.

    The best way to save files in the cloud.

    Date: Feb 25 2021
    Summary

    My general experience with Dropbox has been good, since this platform arrived in our work area we have had the ability to have good file sharing and we have also had the possibility of safeguarding all our files in the cloud. Dropbox has offered us security with an encryption key for all the files we store in the cloud, which helps us to prevent intruders from accessing our files. In addition, with Dropbox I have been able to save space on my computer, all the files that I had saved on my computer I have stored in the cloud that this platform has offered me, and I am totally satisfied because I have been able to share these files immediately thanks to the system shared folder. Dropbox is a reliable platform, and I consider it the best place to store files.

    Positive

    Everyone would like to store files with an extensive limit, and to be able to additionally have permanent security in each of them. Dropbox is the best option to be able to protect files and achieve optimal sharing when the user wants it. One of the things I like the most about Dropbox is that it has a striking file sharing system, which allows the user to share files through shared folders, without the need to share a link. This functionality is quite beneficial for work groups, because all colleagues can access all the files that are uploaded to that shared folder and can have them on their computer in just one second. Also, I like the fact of being able to edit documents online with Dropbox, there is no need to download the documents to edit them, this platform has a good fully optimized document editor.

    Negative

    The application for mobile devices that Dropbox offers is fully optimized, the file transaction through this mobile application is really good, and the management of files uploaded in the cloud is also quite good, however, this application is not totally beneficial for the users. This application forces users to have the latest version of Dropbox installed on their devices, otherwise it will not allow access to the user's cloud and they will not be able to access the files they have uploaded to the cloud. I would like this limitation not to exist, since I do not always have the ability to update the Dropbox application.

    Dropbox - Helping you to share files.

    Date: Mar 05 2021
    Summary

    Dropbox is suitable for private users who want to maintain and possibly share data. It has a good first space in the free version that may be enough for many users. It requires small groups that want to store documents such as text, presentations, and share them among members. If you have a large group or intend to save a lot of data, you need to upgrade to commercial or professional variation, the cost is interesting.

    Positive

    We use Dropbox in our small team. When we are working together on tasks that require data storage space and also sharing, Dropbox is vital. Our demand is simply for messages and discussion data, usually small in size, so free accounts are right for us. We can conveniently post data via a browser and generate a web link for anyone to download. This is better than sending many emails with papers attached, making our papers much more organized.

    Negative

    As for the modification option, you can find a customization area in settings, however, there are only a few things that you can actually customize. You may want to improve this to allow you to customize your business environment, for example.

    Dropbox is so convenient!

    Date: Mar 16 2021
    Summary

    Overall, I think dropbox is an outstanding product. It allows me to easily exchange and share files with my colleagues, no matter how large the file is. I can collaborate any time, anywhere and feel secure knowing critical files aren't just stored on a single hard drive. They're safe and accessible from any device thanks to dropbox. I highly recommend this product to others.

    Positive

    Dropbox allows me to have access to my files from anywhere and at anytime. That's priceless. As a contractor, I serve as the custodian for important files that I need access to at a moment's notice. It just isn't practical for me to store them all on one hard drive. With dropbox, even if I don't have my work laptop with me, I can access my files from a family or public computer. That peace of mind is priceless. And if I need to share files with one of my colleagues, I can do it easily. No hassle, no headache.

    Negative

    Dropbox is a fantastic product. Although I haven't experienced it myself, a con might be the potential for data loss. I've heard from a colleague of mine that she lost a few files. Again, I haven't experienced that myself, but it is a possibility. Additionally, I think it's difficult to contact support should you have a question or concern. Apparently, you can only contact them via email. That can be anxiety inducing if you're in a bind and need to speak with someone ASAP.

    Date: Feb 17 2021
    Summary

    Nice experience in totality. Very useful when you are working with coworkers on a collaborative project.

    Positive

    Dropbox makes it seamlessly easy to access your files from different devices on the go. It's very helpful when you use multiple devices while working on a project.

    Negative

    The interface is very complex and confusing. It gets tedious to locate files at times.

    Drag, drop, and backup - Dropbox.

    Date: Dec 22 2021
    Summary

    Dropbox is a cloud storage platform which is convenient to use and has all the necessary features. Any type of files can be uploaded and stored on Dropbox easily. Also, the files stored on Dropbox are safe, secure from any type of data theft.

    Positive

    - Dropbox is the easiest and most simple application to upload files to and later share it with colleagues, friends or family.
    - Dropbox offers 50gb free storage in the free version, which is enough for most of the students and individuals and that can be further increased with affordable plans for commercial use.
    - It works completely fine on all the devices.
    - It syncs all the files seamlessly across all the devices it is logged in.

    Negative

    - Once the files gets deleted there is no way to retrieve the files, there should be a bin for deleted files for limited, so the files can be recovered if they get accidentally deleted.

    Great way to save files to the cloud

    Date: Feb 11 2021
    Summary

    I would highly recommend using Dropbox for the ease of use and the way that it integrates with your computer library and several other applications. Quick and super easy set up and maintenance.

    Positive

    I love the ease of being able to have a dropbox folder right in my computer library. It is so easy to save my files to the folders. I also like that many apps will allow me to sign into my dropbox to choose a file to upload, when needed. I also utilize the large file transfer, and the ability to have a third party access any documents I share with them.

    Negative

    The pricing is quite a bit more than what I like to spend, but I have been using it for over 10 years.

    Time wasting support.

    Date: Sep 07 2021
    Summary

    I have been given insanely bad support. I paid (have receipt of payment) for a Pro account back in April. All was good until a few weeks ago. About 3 weeks ago I started receiving the following message: "Your Dropbox is full! Upgrade to get more space." I have 2 terra bytes of space I paid for. Support refuses to acknowledge my problem. Over the past 3 weeks, I have wasted hours and hours of my time trying to get this resolved. The numerous responses to my request invariably end up with support saying I need to upgrade. Round and round I go. I have tried email, twitter, chat, this community space and have even sent a snail mail to get this resolved. Absolutely no way to speak to a human. Terrible, horrible, time wasting "support". If I could only quit Dropbox and ask for a refund but I am sharing important files with colleagues and need to be able to exchange files with them. This is a disaster!

    Positive

    Until two weeks ago it was working fine. No complaints. It's hard for me to come up with anything positive to say.

    Negative

    Technical support is atrocious. I have wasting hours and hours of time trying for them to resolve my account problem.
    As to the software component; I find the process of recovering files difficult.

    The themes for Dropbox are super colorful.

    Dropbox fee after free period is quite hard and high. The demand for this program can be more if the price get collected.

    Dropbox is the best cloud storage software

    Date: Mar 19 2021
    Summary

    We've replaced emails that send updated files back and forth, and you always want to know if you have the latest files. The best way Drive can help us is to keep teams together, complete projects together, and update them. It has a solution for multiple teams to collaborate remotely on journals and other documents. As the owner of the Dropbox account you use, you can create folders in Drive and set permissions for which users have access to which folders. This access control can be extended to individual documents in Google Docs. This allows for organized and seamless remote collaboration.

    Positive

    With website and mobile app access permissions, I can access files from anywhere on the Internet. Another advantage is that my team can access the same files and collaborate on projects. Dropbox makes it easy for me to organize all my files and access them anytime, anywhere. This is huge for me because I travel a lot and need to work on my projects.

    Negative

    It has a lack of flexibility in choosing to share certain files with others. I would like to see this feature improved; it would be great if the space allowed per user in Dropbox was unlimited instead of the current 15 GB. You cannot edit certain types of documents in Dropbox, such as PowerPoint. Adding these features will make it serve our organization better.

    Dropbox as Premium version for data storage and management

    Date: Mar 21 2021
    Summary

    Dropbox has a fully fluid data system also has a storage system large enough to have total confidence that we can save all our files in the cloud. All of Dropbox's features and tools are worth the market price and usage. We were able to improve the security in our backups thanks to Dropbox because of its fast file synchronization. We were also able to integrate it with many tools for cloud integration. This software is exceptional.

    Positive

    Depending on the version we use we will have at our disposal a certain amount of storage, although it really doesn't matter if we pay or not, Dropbox gives us an excellent amount of storage in the cloud. We synchronize almost all our equipment in the cloud thanks to Dropbox, which allows us to work faster. It also allows us to have an updated database so we can keep our documents protected in case an accident happens with our disk.

    Negative

    If you have a start-up company it is advisable not to pay any subscription as their plans can be expensive, although it is worth the payment. If you need a preview of a document you can't have it because you need to download the file first, if you don't do it they will show you a preview, but of very bad quality.
