Dropbox is a cloud storage solution, equipped with features that help users to save time, improve productivity, and collaborate with others. Users can edit PDFs, share videos, sign documents, and collaborate with stakeholders without leaving Dropbox.
I used to be a Box user - I just liked the interface better, it seemed more modern and visually appealing. However, the preview function on Box is not very good - videos can take a long time to load, and I've never had that issue with Dropbox. For how often I'm previewing video …
Dropbox is more user friendly. I haven't used any other products besides OneDrive and it was with another company and it has been years since I have used it. I don't have any idea how to compare the two because I don't really remember OneDrive and it's probably changed a lot …
I chose Dropbox because it works well with iOS. I can work with files seamlessly with my Desktop, iPad , and iPhone. Microsoft does not seem to share as well with Apple products. Dropbox has not given me any reason to doubt the privacy of my data. I have less confidence in …
I didn't select Dropbox, but I do like how universal it is and how simple the UI is. Brandfolder got really complicated, especially in set up, but Dropbox hasn't behaved similarly
Dropbox was already in use at my organization, so that's really the only reason that I use it now. I am still trying to get more familiar with it, but growing up in a google world makes it a little more difficult to try and get used to yet another platform.
iDrive and Sync don't remove files from your local storage once they've been unsynced, so it's less clear which files are available and which aren't. Plus Dropbox now selectively offloads files when they haven't been used in a while, so it's managing your storage usage for you …

Chose Dropbox
On my last test, synching on Dropbox was faster than Google Drive, but the price was much higher. Google Drive gives access to a suite of tools that Dropbox doesn’t.
Dropbox is more dynamic regarding versioning and global collaboration. The UI is easier to navigate, which means lower training costs. The storage is extremely reliable, so we need not worry about losing files. Dropbox provides us with both storage and sharing features. Syncing …
We decided to stay with Dropbox just as we have all our files there and well organised, even though Google Drive provides a free storage for not-for-profits. We also wanted to stick with Dropbox as we have links and shortcuts to all our files which would get lost if we transfer …
Microsoft 365 is more expensive at this time and does not yield ease of collaboration. Google Drive can only be used for the Google Suite document version. We need to be able to save other types of files, and Dropbox helps us with this feature. We want a storage and sharing …
Dropbox is straightforward to set up but if you execute on setting up tagging in products like Lytho, Sprinklr, Bynder ETC. it becomes a lot more streamlined to share and find content.
Google Drive is more or less apples to apples but the GUI is prettier in Dropbox. For …
Dropbox is used at my university so I assume it's more secure or has more storage, but not sure. WE used ClickUp for group projects that are less confidential.
It works very well for my particular role in book design, where I manage multiple projects simultaneously and need to link to hundreds of images nested within other folders. At times, though, it seems my computer folders will change which files are kept in the cloud vs. my desktop.
One issue is when the preview of the video will sometimes play at the same time when watching it in full screen, where the two videos overlap each other.
Faster import time when inserting multiple files
It will be easier and faster to have a section to delete files under the folder tab
Dropbox is a user-friendly, easy tool which requires little to no skill and they offer a free version with a good amount of storage available. There are other file sharing tools available however at a cost. Dropbox free version I have used for years and it serves every purpose I need.
[Its] functionality and usability are very good, however[,] on every computer that I have ever installed the app on, Dropbox assumes I want it to update the files every time I start the system up. That's not always true, but the app assumes it is. I can switch that function off, but I would rather that function default to "Off" and then I can decide to turn it on as needed.
Dropbox is really useful, you can access any file from anywhere and you can upload and even edit files online, but, sometimes it can be slow. Downloading, uploading, and syncing is a bit slow, it can take several minutes. Furthermore, the search engine for large amounts of data can be slow too and it is not powerful.
They immediately responded like in an example that I gave where one of our staff members accidentally deleted the whole Special Hope Network Dropbox, we immediately contacted Dropbox they walked us through the steps of how to retrieve the information and luckily enough we were able to retrieve the entire Dropbox and we have had back and forth with Dropbox on what to do when an employee leaves how to remove them how to add another employee.
I did not personally take any training for Dropbox so I am self taught but I know when our Vice President selected Dropbox, he personally did do some training modules on it and I'm assuming it was very easy and simple to understand since he now acts like he is a pro at it!
I needed to stay current in improving my daily operations. Dropbox was suggested to me by a former colleague two-years ago and I've been using it just fine ever since.
Google Drive has similar features, but the security functions of Dropbox allows our institution to save our sensitive and regulated data in a more protected way on Dropbox. This gives administrators, decision makers and policy makers additional piece, especially during a time and living in a world where data breaches are much more frequent and common.
