What's helpful is that we can have a shared drive between multiple team members which makes it easier for projects.
What's hard about it is that I wish it had an easier UI.
Creating a drive that multiple people can access at once without having to have the email that the cloud service provides.
I really like the features and the storage capacity! I can add endless files, documents and images without a worry in the world. I like having my content all in one, convienent place.
If there are any disavantages, I haven't disocovered them yet and I have been using it for over 3 years.
Sharing folders is made so easy! I can in thre touch of a fingertip upload content that is easy to access.

Sometimes there is a issue in downloading a file and the limited storage in the free trial is something which I hate the most.
Dropbox Keeps Our Documents Safe, Secure, and Easy to Access It's especially helpful because we have certain files that are shared across the entire company, and then we also have certain files only used for my own team. It's very easy to create a file, upload a document, and share it with other people.
Dropbox is the best software for dropping files and folders
Sometime it take time to complile files.
Its is the best way for dropping files and getting strage on cloud
The design is clear-cut, the intreface user friendly, and the features super helpful for all of my team, and me.
Sometimes the "stop sharing" feature does not remove the relevant icon from the folder or file I have stopped sharing. It's a minor bug, nothing important though.
It helps my team stay connected and share files seamlesly. We all have the same folder and file views, and we all know who is working on what, which makes production really easy. In addition, the "Send a copy" feature allows us to share files with external vendors without having to re-upload them in other online solutions, we can just do that from the file location. And other features that we find invaluable are the file and folders history (versioning), the easy admin panel, the "online-only" feature that saves storage space on our local computers, and so much more! Overall, it is a well rounded cloud content collaboration solution.
the sync module is the best one which is very usuful for business use and for personal as well. if helps my business documentionation to sync in no time which promote ease of goind business activities with the employees and documentation work. i am using this since 5 years and still happy for frequesnt use of this. its customer support also works great. its easy to implement and ease of integration in at its best. all of the features works great.
dislinke abt the limited space and high prices. company should and must revise the free space policy and price rate to increase the number of paid accounts.
its makes easy of accessing office files and other data easily from anywhere.
What I love about Dropbox is that it's a reliable way to store documents and organize and share them. I also have the Dropbox app which is very convenient when you're on the go to grab any document that you need at anywhere in anytime.
There's not much I don't like about Dropbox, except the fact that I have to maintain a Google Drive account because I don't believe that there's anyway to store my Google documents in dropbox and I use G suite for my day-to-day business operations so it gets expensive
Dropbox helps me store archive and collaborate on documents all in one place. I like that my documents can stay on my computer, but not take up space on my computer as well and if I choose to view them off-line I can do that as well. There's a lot of flexibility with the dropbox.
Real time syncronization and always available.
Interface is a little outdated, I think it could be improved.
I can share data with customers and team seamless.
If we store files and documents in DropBox, we can access it anywhere and quickly. I term it as a ready reckoner or an instant information centre (I.I.C) . Cloud based file storage and transfer is prioritized by DropBox which has revolutionized cloud computing. My storage box in hand is DropBox, which I can trust as it saves files and documents securely and safely.
My Instant Information Centre (I.I.C.) has no backlogs or negatives. I trust this Cloud Computing software 100%. There is no single comment I could say negative about DropBox.
As I term it in my words, the Instant Information Centre (I.I.C.), solves my cloud storage and file transfer problems securely and at a faster speed. My Instant Information Centre (I.I.C.) - DropBox, which has revolutionized cloud computing, is the most secure and fast data storage and transfer software which can be used for Data Analysis and by Data Scientists.
I liked the auto sync that done very fast personally I observed. Very best while you have multiple devices. I used in my mobile device / desktop/ laptop. Also like also referred program.
Not for now, but if allow more free space to user that i think best for the user
Data sync and backup issue while i have multiple devises and need to datas from mobile to desktop easily
The fact that Dropbox has large storage capacity and it's easy to use is one of the usefulness of if. Dropbox is efficient and it's user friendly couple with the large allocation of storage on your first sign up.
I don't think there is anything that will make me dislike it, it's okay
Dropbox is solving a lot of problems when it comes to saving my work, right now I have all my work in one place that is Dropbox and it's very beneficial to me.
Being able to share files with restricted access. I love Google Drive and use it daily as well but in a different way.
That it doesn't have a better preview of the documents/images without clicking on things.
Being able to share files with restricted access and having easy access to client's folders. And that when I upload something I'm not the owner of it, like in Google Drive, unless that's changed recently, I haven't checked.
The thing i like about dropbox is the synchronocity and file sharing, and its ability to adapt between the avrious platfroms,file recovery and many more.
The Disadvantage of Dropbox is that the stroge cost is more,and it has some privacy issueand its dependent upon the internet connection,and limited file size limitations.
It solved the problem of cloud storage i can access the data stored there from anywhere ,i just need the internet to access the data.
It is easy to store and share photos with clients.
There is nothing so far that has been negative for me.
Getting photos to client without outrageous fees and pay walls.
I've gone through several computers over the years and transferred files to each one but somewhere throughout this process, a bunch of photos were lost. I was devastated. I'd used the auto merge feature on the new computer so I had no idea what happened to YEARS of pictures. I was SO relieved that I logged into Dropbox one day looking for a specific file and found that all of the pictures that I'd collected over the years were actually saved in Dropbox. This was an amazing find. SO relieved.
I honestly can't say that I find any drawbacks from using dropbox.
Keeping up with files that I had assumed had been lost. Keeping large #'s of pictures and videos.
I can connect to all of my files on all of my devices securely and quickly.
It is more expensive than other storage services. I can't see an image of what is in the file.
Allowing me access to my files from my tablet and iPhone, as well as, from my desktop computers and laptop computers.
I like the ability to quickly share a large archive of documents quickly so students can work through materials at their own pace. I also find it very useful for backing up materials and quickly accessing my documents from a new device.
I am sometimes frustrated when Dropbox has to compete with other applications for space on my screen. It would be better if Dropbox was always part of the default hierachy from the open or save menus.
I often need to share large folders full of documents and want the user to be able to access the documents of their choice at their convenience. Dropbox makes this easy
The price is cleary cheap compare to other cloud storage providers like google drive, icloud and onedrive it is avaiable in crossplatform i can have it in windows, mac, iphone and android
there are 3 things i dislike 1. starter storage subscripton is 3TB but many users and also me (nowadays) does'nt need that much of storage. having a plan of 1TB would be very helpfull 2.Limited Offline Access on Free Plan which is very annoning to use and check if the person is using to check the quaity of dropbox 3.Storage Space Can Fill Up Quickly.
here are the three benifites from dropbox 1.Collaboration Made Easy: it is very easy to work with friends and collegues by sharing data without any error and the best part i like in this category is comenting system as it is helpfull discussing specific parts of a document. 2.Reliable File Syncing: Dropbox's file syncing is fast and reliable. I never have to worry about whether my files are up to date across different devices. It's a real time-saver for me, who is constantly use different devices. 3.Version History: The version history feature has saved me more than once. Being able to revert to a previous version of a document is a lifesaver for a software engineer like me.
I love knowing that my files are safe in dropbox and I can access them anywhere. Customer Service Reps are great!
Confusing to find files for my projects at times.
They are not helping me with any issues at this time.
The ability to sync my laptop and workstation in realtime regardless of location (although it will be much faster with LAN sync). Additional plus is the ability to revert accidental file changes up to 30 days.
The inability to have more than 3TB space with a single user account (my use case is exactly that)
Syncronising work files across devices
