    A reliable storage platform.

    Date: Apr 14 2021
    Summary

    Overall, Dropbox is an easy and affordable option for cloud storage. It provides features and versatility with its tools in storage.

    Positive

    - The stored on the cloud synchronized very quickly and seamlessly.
    - The files stored on dropbox can be shared easily from the cloud storage to anyone.
    - The best part about using dropbox is that it is exceedingly affordable to any user.

    Negative

    - The web version of dropbox runs very slow.
    - If you are using multiple devices you will have to be logged in all the time on dropbox else sync fails.

    The Place To Grab MY Stuff

    Date: Mar 24 2021
    Summary

    Seamless. With Dropbox I can store my files where I can get to them and sort them by folder and access them from anywhere whether it is on my iPhone, Android phone Windows pc, or just any web browser.

    Positive

    I trust Dropbox so much that no matter what when I absolutely need to transfer, share, edit or just view a file there is a way to do it with Dropbox. It has been my go-to product for cloud storage for many years. This product integrates so well with so much of what I do every day it is like having another employee on my staff to keep track of things for me.

    Negative

    It doesn't integrate with absolutely everything and since everyone has their cloud storage of choice it doesn't always play nice with others. But, generally, there is always a workaround or a Zapier that can automate conversion or transfer to make this work.

    Helps Me Manage My Business

    Date: Feb 18 2021
    Summary

    Our overall experience has been great. It just works! Which is what you want from software that is supposed to help you be more efficient and effective.

    Positive

    Dropbox is a great way to share data intensive items, such as photos. We use an outside company to manage our website but always want to have fresh and current photos. With Dropbox it's a breeze to give them access without adjusting photo sizes. I can also remove what is obsolete so we are always working with fresh content. It is such a help!

    Negative

    I would love a better organizational structure for photos so they were easier to keep track.

    Great satisfaction in file and document transactions.

    Date: Feb 04 2021
    Summary

    My general experience has been quite good, because Dropbox has allowed me to establish an immediate connection with all my co-workers and with my family and friends, to be able to send and receive all kinds of files or documents in just a few seconds. I'm very satisfied with the experience that Dropbox gave me, because I have also been able to secure all the information in my files thanks to the end-to-end encryption system that it offers me.

    Positive

    One of the things that I liked about the experience I had with Dropbox is that this platform allowed me to modify all kinds of documents that I stored in my cloud, with great fluidity when opening each document and modifying the information from it, compared to other cloud storage platforms that are slower to process documents. In addition, I really liked that Dropbox gave me a shared folder system where all my work team can access the files that are in that folder, instantly, this allows me to share files with them more quickly.

    Negative

    The only negative feature that needs to be mentioned about Dropbox is with respect to its application for mobile phones, due to the application it always has to be updated to the latest version that exists in the store, otherwise, the application will not allow access to Cloud. I consider that the application should always allow me access, because I am not always available to update the application.

    Easy way to share

    Date: May 27 2020
    Summary

    I like Dropbox, we use it on a daily basis in my organization. I just wish it had some adjustments and better live-editing features.

    Positive

    Dropbox is a really easy way to share virtually anything digital by just dragging and dropping. It is meant to be that simple, and it does just that.

    Negative

    There are a few features I have encountered that I don't much care for. First, multiple versions of the same document can be created unintentionally. If I edit a document within Dropbox while simultaneously, it is opened by another user I shared it with, two versions can be created. Second, I wish there was a way to see if the users that documents have been shared with, have successfully viewed the documents. Even if no edits are made, it would be convenient to see that "Jane Doe opened this file at 10:52am" etc.

    Mostly good. Left lacking in some areas. Still better than Google Drive for the specific areas that it and Google both have. I still highly recommend it. And since we already know Google can and DOES look as your pictures on Gdrive, "yes even those naughty ones you took in the motel room." You'd think after the iCloud leaks no one would trust online cloud storage for intimate and private things? Well, you can Dropbox!

    Date: Dec 11 2020
    Summary

    Works great. If simplicity is what one wants but otherwise solid, stable platforms to work with the this is it. But with the exception of your customers that tend to use it for pirating or backup of their "so-called" home archive of movies and games. "Yes, we know better, you and I.. Anyhow, I am not talking about those guys. I want you to realize something. The majority of your non-pirating customers are computer power users. Intelligent, and easily insulted when we are left out. Left out of what? Well again, other than gamers and pirates, most of your users are MacOS or Linux or BSD.. And most of those 3 are Linux Linux Linux. Perhaps the past decade went by too fast for you and you have not realized that Linux users are in the MILLIONS! And many of those millions are your customers. Of course a computer nerd or computer geek is going to love the idea of mass online storage that can be either backed up or even used directly online without having to always download it. "Streaming mp3s for example." Please promise to pay a NOTABLE amount of more attention to us and I will be pay attention to your company and people the next time I write another article for PCMagazine, Linux Format, and a few blogs and FB groups that has members in the 10s of 1000s.

    Positive

    Every was neat, tidy and mostly well organized. It's interface responds fairly quick as well. I wish someone (like you for example) would make Google Drive jealous and out do them.. For 2 reasons. #1 I'd just love to see them squirm. #2 Well, when they first gave out 15GB cloud storage as to which most of the updated material could be ran within browser, videos, text documents, spreadsheet, images, music etc. They seem to continue to add more bells and whistles but not a damn single byte more to storage. That's not even the length of a single 2.5 hr blue ray movie. It's a speck of dust ON a speck of dust by today's standards. Someone needs to send them a message. And the love to all out ignore their regular members.

    Negative

    I needs Light, Dark and Mid auto themes like most major companies that server as a storage or social media or basically any site that a lot of time it will have eyes on it. Everyone is learning that background illuminated desktop wit small black letters is hell on the eyes. Please do not forget one important thing if you choose to add this. PLEASE do not forget to switch *all* colors of text and symbols to a dark for a light theme and a light for a dark theme. No one wants to strain their eyes to see dark gray letters on an even darker gray background. As a developer I have seen this should be rookie mistake again and again. Even know major business!

    Sharing Files

    Date: May 06 2020
    Summary

    It is a timesaver for my work, and helps when working with multiple people at multiple locations on the same files.

    Positive

    I love being able to share big files with anyone, without having to send by email. And then the files stay there to review and edit.

    Negative

    It is a challenge sometimes to change files around, or edit them.

    Great data-storage

    Date: Mar 31 2020
    Summary

    This app is great for storing your large files. In my studies, I often have to store large files of several gigabytes. My phone and laptop don’t have enough storage to hold the files, so I use Dropbox. I’ve had no problems with it, and have become much more organized since beginning using it.

    Positive

    Large capacity, easy to transfer files, free, many supported file types. Connects through a variety of devices.

    Negative

    This application has a slightly outdated user interface, but that is the only problem with it.

    An excellent cloud storage application

    Date: Dec 03 2020
    Summary

    In my point of view Dropbox provides you with much more tools and it helps to store and secure you files.
    Thus, i would recommend this application to other as well.
    The only drawback is the storage it provides.

    Positive

    There are so many pros to mention like:
    -Dropbox helps to store all of the files in one location and it grants the user the ability to access their files from anywhere in any device.
    -The interface is very clear and easy to use, helps to understand the application.
    -The biggest pro about this application is the high level of security it provides to it's user.
    -It is excellent for working with other people on any projects as it allows it's user to share files and information to a particular person or a group of people and the user can also give authorization to access the files.

    Negative

    There are some cons as well to mention like:
    -First, it only provides 2GB of storage unless you pay for higher plan.
    -There are many other application which provide more space then this application.

    Fastest Cloud Storage Experience

    Date: Dec 04 2020
    Summary

    Overall i had a very good experience especially with the security because you will be storing sensitive data also, and customer support.

    Positive

    I have used many cloud storage software in the past but Dropbox is by far the best software for storing data.
    The other good things is that you get 2 gb storage for trial and then you can opt for paid plans (that is also reasonable)
    Digital signature and sharable links of large files are some of features that i found quite helpful.

    Negative

    Sometimes while downloading the file the downloading speed becomes very low. I will update if i find another con.

    Long time Dropbox user

    Updated: Nov 25 2020
    Summary

    I finally pulled the trigger and paid for their annual professional plan with 2TB. I tried making it work with all the free 25GB space I had accumulated but as you create more businesses , more digital space is used up and I"d rather store everything securely in the cloud.

    Positive

    I’ve been using Dropbox for over 11 years to date. I ended up using all my free 25GB of storage and mustered up to purchase their 3TB annual plan. Love the new desktop app and the ability to access my Dropbox from multiple devices

    Negative

    Sometimes find Dropbox not syncing across all devices and platforms.

    Trusted for Backup

    Date: Dec 10 2020
    Summary

    Altogether, If you are talking about the paid version it is an amazing option but the free trial is quite restricted. I have used it for a lot of time now. I did not face any major cons, its servers are always up and good going.

    Positive

    I am using Dropbox for 3 years now, in the very beginning I used it for its feature which allows collaborating on a sing file from multiple deceives, So I didn't have to worry about making copies of files every time to work from home or vise versa.
    But now I use it for backup also as it provides assured security to the backup file.

    Negative

    There is no con in the paid version, but the trial version does not have enough free space to backup as well as do collaboration work on files.

    Store your files and have them on the go

    Date: Nov 19 2020
    Summary

    Dropbox is really handy. You can keep your files with you everywhere, and you can use Dropbox with so many other apps. It's good for business, school, and personal projects. I recommend it, but it's definitely not unique and there are plenty of other options if you don't like Dropbox's particular quirks.

    Positive

    It's easy to use. Just upload your files, and there it is. Wherever you can connect to Dropbox, you have your files with you. The best thing about Dropbox is the integration options. I mostly used it with Evernote, but there's a lot of other big apps out there you can integrate with Dropbox, like Teams.

    Negative

    It's not much different than other similar options out there, but beyond that, I can't think of anything else negative to say about it.

    Cloud Storage

    Date: Nov 11 2020
    Summary

    I've been using this for years now and haven't had any issues so far
    It's safe, good UI/UX, cross platform. What else would an average user need?
