Dropbox is perfect for a small business
Dropbox is used for all our cloud storage. It is a cheap and convenient option for all of our employees to access and edit the same files and stay in the loop with everything. It also enables us to give access to certain files to certain people, which is very nice.
- Clean file layout
- cloud storage
- ability to send web links to files

Helpful For Companies
Dropbox has helped me so much when clients need to send large files to me or others. It helps organize files without the need for a constant email back and forth. Instead, we upload them into unique folders on Dropbox. These unique folders can be organized by category to add additional organization.
- Share photos
- Share documents
- Share videos
- Organize files
- Being more user-friendly
- More ability to view data on-the-go
- Make downloading data easier
- Less email back and forth

Obsessed with Dropbox!
I use Dropbox for 2 companies. 1: Mostly used to share and store information with our financial advisor, and store tons of company documents and records. 2: Mostly used to store day-to-day history of product development, with some items shared across teams. Dropbox addresses the ability to very easily share documents across teams, with good controls over who has access to certain documents/folders, and who doesn't. I use the product every single day, and I love how well it integrates with Finder on Mac, so folders are always very easily accessible (which is much easier than using the web version IMO).
- Uploads and updates files quickly across all devices (I use it on a desktop, laptop, and my mobile device).
- I love the easy integration with Finder on Mac, so all folders are easily accessible right from your Finder. No need to ever login to the web version of Dropbox (except for to manage user access).
- Love that you can easily drag & drop all file types, and easily rename them within the Finder.
- Dropbox on web (which I very rarely use for this reason), makes it difficult to copy/paste the names of files from the breadcrumb menu, and renaming files is kind of a pain too. Just takes longer than it needs to. It's usually easier to just delete the file, rename it from my Mac desktop, and re-upload it.
- I used to use both a Mac (while home) and a PC (while traveling) for work. My only quip with file access on PC is that Mac allows quotations (" ") in file names, but PC version does not. I don't know that this is a problem with Dropbox itself, or just a limitation of Windows PC? But it's annoying because if you have a file named:
- xx.xx File Name "use this file name in quickbooks" on Dropbox from your Mac, no one using a PC will be able to see it in their corresponding Dropbox folder.
- Since I use Dropbox for 2 different companies (and thus 2 separate paid Dropbox accounts), this creates an issue where both Dropbox accounts cannot be connected to the same Mac Finder. The only workaround I could come up with is having a separate "Mac User" for each company, and connecting Dropbox to Finder within each user's login account. This means I have to logout of my Mac User for Company 1 every time I want to access files from Company 2 on Finder, OR remain logged in as a Mac User on Company 1, but revert to using Dropbox web for Company 2, which is a much more cumbersome task. If Dropbox could solve for this issue, and allow me to access BOTH paid Dropbox accounts from the same Mac User's Finder window, my rating would change to a perfect 10!

Dropbox Review
A central place for multiple sales and marketing individuals to access documents and share- large heavy graphic decks. Dropbox is also more universal for sharing documents with external clients as well. It makes it easier to monitor changes and versions of updated information for all individuals accessing general information as well as customized work by category, vertical or client.
- Upload
- Share
- Catalog
- record when documents are opened and shared like other services can
- Automated categorization using AI intel by document
- Editing and uploading versions

Best File Storage option for business
We use Dropbox for file storage - it allows us to store large volume and size files in a well-organized, easy to navigate environment where all users have access. I appreciate the preview function which makes it easy to quickly view videos or design files (much of our usage) without having to download the file and open in the corresponding program.
- Preview pane - quickly loads
- Easy to navigate
- Easy to send links externally and alter permissions
- Starred or pinned folders easier to find
- Periodic outages
- Automatic permission setting on links

Unpacking Dropbox.
I really appreciate the flexibility of using Dropbox for my department and sharing files securely outside of my organization. I like that I can keep all my projects in one place and know that files will stay secure and synced. Navigating between my own folders and company folders is a breeze as well. (Box> cloud!).
- File syncing and backup.
- Folder organization.
- Sharing files outside of the organization.
- Dropbox sometimes goes down for me at random times.
- Make cloud / desktop file syncing clear and even easier to use at a glance.
- Make external folder sharing easier to share with a link.

I love Dropbox!
We use dropbox to store customer information, designs, contracts, etc. We are able to share documents with people throughout our organization, and limit who can see certain files. Our business could not run without Dropbox. Our installers, service workers, and sales people are able to view and upload documents from the road, which keeps our business running smoothly.
- Security
- Giving employees different levels of access.
- We are able to send documents for signature.
- I would love to be able to organize folders in a different order besides alphabetically.
- I would like more options as far as limiting employee access to folders.
- I wish dropbox didn't cache files to my C:Drive.

The LBD of Storage Solutions
It is a document storage tool and allows clients and team members to access our product. We create and implement integrated health, safety, environment and quality management systems for high risk businesses and this helps us to share, store, edit, work closely within our own team but also invite people outside of our team (clients) to watch as their system comes together.
- Integrated with Mac really well
- Reliability
- Accessibility
- Easy to use
- Cache or sync problems
- Clunky on a windows machine when you have to download doucments
I use Dropbox for all of my Business and personal files. It provides centralized access for all of my devices, including my PC, iPad, and iPhone. Dropbox provides easy access for my wife to our important shared files. Dropbox provides easy restoration in case of Ransomware based on personal experience. I know this from experience since we were the victims of a Cyber Attack.

- Easy restoration from Ransomware
- Access from a variety of platforms
- Access for me and my wife

Dropbox Review
I personally use it for storage with varying levels of access and document reviews - we have PDF documents that need more collaborative reviews, and the comments section on dropbox does just that.
- Tiered access
- easy UI
- Comments do not appear in the same place for each person
- Taking people to Google Drive instead of dropbox for comments has caused problems

- Online and offline document syncing abilities.
- Online dropbox file search.

It gets the job done
We use Dropbox to have shared access to any file from the organization. I personally use it to upload any flyers, videos, or photos I make/take as well as looking at previous years of event flyers and information. It's helpful to have access to it all in one place.
- seems to be no cap on amount of data stored
- can create lots of different sections with folders
- can upload lots of different file types
- finding things can be hard when looking for something specific if it's not organized
- can be cumbersome to categorize each file for where you want it to go

Best Data Storage and Backup solution
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Dropbox is our data storage and backup solution. It makes it easy to have all our client files when we need them without having to worry about hard drive failures or scheduling routine backups. As a design agency that works in video as well as print, we work with fairly large file sizes. Keeping all those files on our local drives would quickly exhaust their capabilities, and having to back them up on external hard drives takes a lot of time we don't have. So it's convenient to be able to selectively sync the folders we need, then unsync once the project is over.
- Selective sync files
- Data storage
- Video file reviews
- Archive and retrieval of files
June 20, 2024
Good tool but persistent issues for years.
We use it inside our design studio team. All projects are on Dropbox, and all work is done on it. We replaced using a proprietary server with Dropbox due to speed issues with the server when working from home. Unfortunately, Dropbox has had a bug for years now that requires every file to be manually synched from Mac Finder, whilst when we acquired the product, it would synchronize files automatically from third-party programs (Adobe Cloud). We are considering switching to Google Cloud, but the effort of changing many terabytes of data over has been a blocker.
- Speed for home office.
- Synching issue.
- Too expensive.
- Offboarding process and migration of files is a hassle.

Dropbox Eduardo.
I am an ophthalmologist researcher, and since I started using Dropbox for my research projects, everything has become so much easier, faster, organized, and efficient. I highly recommend it, especially for people working and collaborating with other people around the world. Everything is updated and organized, unlike sending emails with data and information that is hard to track and retrieve.
- Organized data.
- Collaborative work with others.
- Storage of big amounts of images.
- The connection between different accounts.
- You should be able to unify personal and work accounts in one.
- Easier command.

Neel's Review.
As a student at Ahmedabad University, I use Dropbox to store various files of varying sizes on Dropbox. The partnership of Dropbox with our University enables us to store up to 1 TB of files and folders for free, which makes our life a lot easier. Dropbox solves customers' problems, such as not needing to store everything in local storage and providing better facilities than their competitor(Google Drive, which gives limited storage for free), and that is what my scope of use case is.
- Efficient storage solutions.
- Seamless syncing of files with local storage.
- Effortless deletion and retrieval of files.

Dropbox for Creatives
Dropbox allows us to easily share project files among our team in real-time. With the option for keeping files online, it's great for storage without overloading our individual computers. It is also awesome for sharing large files with clients. We use Dropbox every day and I don't know what we ever did without it!
- File Storage
- File Sharing
- Organization
- File synching can be buggy
- Automatic login doesn't always work
- Browser version isn't as intuitive

My Review
For secure file transfers of personal information. Password protected folders, etc. We process a lot of background checks and I-9 verifications and need to keep confidential information secured.
- Sharing documents outside of your organization
- Securely transferring files
- Easily requesting files from others
- Sharing/ linking sometimes doesn't go through
- Emails and email templatesc
- Creating documents with autofill features
We use Dropbox to store all marketing assets we create and their source files. Our marketing assets include Whitepapers, Infographics, Social tiles, Remarketing ads, videos, etc. The main reason why Dropbox is of super importance is that it provides all employees with access to a single source of truth. This means there are no copies of a particular asset; this ensures the usage of the correct version. One more essential usage would be that we can sync our Dropbox account with our desktops and don't necessarily need to open the browser.
- It is really collaborative, so all the stakeholders and creators can view the duplicate files simultaneously.
- The files get auto synced with the desktop version.
- Permissions are customizable, which ensures that folks who shouldn't have edit rights can only view.
- The preview option is an excellent feature; almost all file types are viewable through the preview option.
- There are a few times when syncing has been an issue. For example, the web version would update while the desktop version would not.
- There have been a few instances where folks who have given edit permission couldn't do so.
- Lot of internet bandwidth is consumed while syncing large files.

Dropbox for not-for-profits
We use Dropbox for all our files, both saving securely and being able to share with contacts within and outside the organisation. We can organise them in concise folders which are easy to navigate, edit and share. It provides a secure and easy to use cloud storage solution at a competitive price.
- Organise files
- Share by links
- Keep things tidy!
- Clearer about syncing to desktop
- Docs in Word and Excel format do not have the same format since the change earlier this year
