Likelihood to Recommend

Dropbox is suitable for data saving and protection. However, it is less suitable for saving contracts, specifically when there are consultant contracts. It's cumbersome to save/duplicate contracts in different organizational hubs. It would be better if one document could be saved in one folder and housed under many different hub folders.
