Dropbox Review
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is free and easy. It has a good and understandable UI. It can be used through browser and allows you to navigate through your folders easily. Each folder or file can be allowed to be viewed or edited by anyone you invite through email. Until then, all your files are secure and only available to you. It integrates with Google quite well, allowing you to login using your Google account and sends email alerts if and when needed. You get plenty of storage that can be further expanded by upgrading your account. You can share files with a URL if the person you're trying to work with does not have a Dropbox account. In addition you can use Dropbox as a medium of transferring of files between your PC and mobile.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far no dislikes, but there's some room for improvement such as being able to view different file formats and presentations on the web.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Dropbox mainly to transfer and receive files from my colleagues for work. While working from home, Dropbox solves a lot of issues with communication as being able to send files to one another and having us go through them at our own pace is a much more convenient option than screen sharing that takes up everyone's time equally for fixing trivial issues in coding. Dropbox has several features one of which is Dropbox Tools using which you can collaborate with other people to create documents and presentation files. It allows simultaneous editing and provides an access log where you can keep track of all the changes made as well as by whom.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Dropbox as it's free to use with up to 2GB of storage. You can easily get up to 2TB more of space through affordable subscription plans with more discounts for annual plans. You get secure storage and safe means of sharing your data.

Drop is good like the application but needs more funtions
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is an easy platform to store files. I have used it in my master's program and I have collaborated with some of my colleagues on the platform. The view is easy and intuitive. We have also the ability to view files online. I am also able to share files privately and public sharing, however, I would like a CAD system integrated into the application.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would really appreciate it if they integrated a CAD system. I use a lot of cad files and it would be nice to view files on the platform without downloading the files. DXF & DWG files are standard 2D engineering files, so dropbox should be easily visible on the platform. It also has a non-intuitive way of making the files private which is a bit worrying if some accidentally get my link. I am sure there is a way to make files private but it is hard to find it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The application was used to share materials between students when we collaborated together. The material we had was easily shared with anyone who had the link. I also use dropbox for my business. This is where I keep my companies business and legal documents in a well-ogranised way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am an engineer so I'm on the constant hunt for applications that help my trade. I am continuously looking for a document management system that will help me manage files and customers effectively. If dropbox has some file management tagging in place that would be nice.
Enough space for everything.
What do you like best about the product?
Since I´m a manager and I need to save a lot of documuents because of my work I always have needed to save a big amount of documents which was hard for me because I didn´t have enough space in my devices. When I found out Dropbox what I liked the most of this software is the fact that they offer not only a free trial but also a free version, which make it a lot better because I was doubting wether I should give it a try or not.
Once I bought the professional version of dropbox I discovered that they have many tools such as a debate option or a chat which made my job a lot easier because If someone at work had a doubt with a document I could simply fix it or explain it to them without any complication, as they aslos could put comments in a specific section.
Another thing that I found quite helpful was the fact that they have an option where you can link all your devices to that account without needing to create another one, so because of that I saved all my contacts and documents without needing to be worried that I loose something.
Despite that Dropbox itself it´s quite easy to use, they also offer training through pre-record videos or live videos, documents and offline, so that´s is the reason why I think that their training plans are really complete.
Lastly the one thing that I liked the most about the Professional version is that unlike the Plus version you could only send files up to 2 GB per transfer but with this version I can send up to 100 GB per transfer which is convenient when it comes to my work.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of my problems with Dropbox is that I had some problems when I started to use it so I decided to seek for help with their support team, but they never repplied to me so I think they should try to find a way to make their support team more effective and responsible.
My other problem is that despite the product itself is really good, the prices are a little bit high considering that they´re another space work softwares for free where you can get the same benefits.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved my problems of saving a lot documents that are too heavy for my computer but I also solved the problem of not being able to send something that is around 3GB, as I have mentioned they have this amazing option of file transfer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If someone wants to consider to use Dropbox I would say to them is that they should give a look to the free version and free trial, because of the fact of just using them it shows you a lot of the benefits that they have.

What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more storage on free version. Other cloud services offer more storage space on free accounts.

Secure Storage Facility
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox allows you to store your files online in the cloud platform. You can drag your files and drop them into the Dropbox window to upload them. Dropbox ensures your files are secure and not viewable by any unauthorized user. However, it allows means for you to share access to users of your choice through links or email invitations. Dropbox can be used through mobile applications as well. This also allows inter-device file transfer.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I have no dislikes. There's plenty of space, lots of customizability, and security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox makes it easier for me to share my files with coworkers in my team instead of having to go through the tedious process of email attachments. Dropbox is also far more secure and easier to reach as files once uploaded can be retrieved anytime whereas in the case of emails, they can potentially get deleted. Dropbox additionally has tools to enable collaboration through documents that you can create with Dropbox Paper and also modify existing files on the cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I suggest giving Dropbox a try as it is freely available and integrates with your Google account for easier and safe account creation.
Dropbox Business is packed with the best features
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox has a fast and powerful technology to store and secure files, I like that it's not only cloud-based but it also comes with great collaboration tools that are essential for my team. The price is also affordable and has multiple plans so we can choose depending on the features and the tools we need.
One of my favorite tools and one I use often is the file version history that allows me to restore different versions of the same file if I happen to accidentally delete an important piece of information or if I need to recover something else.

What do you dislike about the product?
Synchronization can be really slow and it's the only major thing that I dislike about Dropbox. I don't usually have this problem with other backup softwares that I use for personal purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dropbox Business helps me a lot for collaboration with my team and file editing as well as keeping everything safe; I think that it has made it easier to simply give access to certain files instead of having to email them manually. It saves me a lot of time and I don't ever have to worry about storage limit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Price is what made me choose Dropbox, but I stayed because of the tools.
Best Service for Storage of the Documents
What do you like best about the product?
Dropbox is one of the best service providers for document/file storage. It has a very simple control panel also for the user who does not know how to use the technological devices. It has the ability to share your files, documents via just a simple sharing link with your friends/parents/colleagues. Other platforms need extra things to complete the process and it makes them much more complex. Therefore, the most important thing about Dropbox is simplicity. Therefore, everyone whose priority is simplicity can use Dropbox instead of other vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion, unfortunately, Dropbox gives less storage capacity to users that could be arguably too low. It means that it is less than other service providers. Therefore, it could be changed in future updates and gives extra space to users in order to store their files much reliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Dropbox as a repository for my lecture notes and projects and then when I want to share them with my colleagues I can easily give permission to them by sharing the link of the file. It is easy to share all contents with your mates. On the other hands, the storage area of my phone is limited and I am using Dropbox in order to store my older photos instead of occupying the space on my phone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dropbox is very simple to adapt to and is very user friendly. This property makes my work so much easier to share with my colleagues. It means it helps to manage this kind of sharing problems just using one click of your mouse. It helps us to transfer larger files from one account to another one so that they can download the documents easily. It works a lot better than the traditional methods and allows me to store files without using memory on my computer and cellphone.
