One of the Best Tools for File Management
What do you like best about the product?
During the time I have used Dropbox I absolutely enjoy the ability to easily connect and pull up my files from anywhere and any device whether it is my Computer, Laptop, or Phone, to my work computer, friend's or wife's device, etc. I rely on Dropbox as my secondary hard drive for my computer and store all of my files there. I use and access the files I have saved there on a constant basis and use them daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I struggle on with Dropbox, and this isn't even their issue, is that it is just another service to have running. I'm one that likes to consolidate as much as possible and an external system make that a little difficult. However that is the only real issue I have, and like I said it isn't one that is the fault of the company at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a work from home Front End Web Developer, sometimes my job requires me to have meetups with my boss, or different clients. With Dropbox I don't have to worry about lugging along an external hard drive, pen drive, or other tools. If I have my laptop (or access to anyone else's laptop or computer) I can easily access my files and we can discuss, edit, and re-sync these products back to the cloud where I have access to them again on my home machine. The ease of file sharing, editing, and collaboration is one of the biggest assets of Dropbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Dropbox for everything. I rarely store things on my desktop anymore. The only things that are actually saved on my computer are games and programs which require my ram and hard drive to run. EVERY other file I own is stored on Dropbox. Approximately 2 years ago I had to actually pay for the upgrade to Dropbox for more space and have not regretted it since.

DropBox Is A Dead-Simple Cloud File Storage/Sharing Platform Though Not As Feature-Rich
What do you like best about the product?
Nearly ubiquitous, works across every imaginable platform. We can email military employees DropBox links to their restricted Windows 7 PCs just as easily as iOS users. Receipients can collaborate without installing software, signing up for accounts etc. We can also get our employees access to company assets without requiring VPN setups and client security profiles. Bottom line, it just works and its easy enough that 1 person can administer around 80 users and hundreds of TBs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow implementation of features. DropBox paper was announced and beta'd and demoed for months before we were able to try it. Only now is it usable enough to have us leverage it rather than Google Docs et all. Eventually it will reached parity with their feature set but for now our users have to make some compromises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When it comes to cloud storage, it all comes down to reliability, access and versatility. DropBox has never gone down for us, nor have we had any indication that they have been breached, sold our information, etc etc. With additional encryption, thet have met every contractual requirement for every government and military client we have worked with. They are on par pricing-wise, and we have consistently negotiated better rates based on user renewals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Determine if you are going to need to pay for other services in addition to DropBox if you need things like onsite zero-knowledge encryption or real time collaboration in traditional file formats (MIcrosoft Office). We resorted to using Boxcryptor for encryption and converting a chunk of our staff off of Google Docs and Office 365 (we have government contractual obligations to encrypt certain users' files).
Good for back up and storage

Large capacity for backing up files and is easy to use.

I loved Dropbox for years but Google Drive is a close competitor.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can share folders so easy with folks and it has been my experience that sharing is easier than on google drive. I also love that it's cloud-based and I can see my files anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it does not work well with google docs or that the person has to have the same program, like word to open docs. I also wish I could roll back changes on files if I needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I no longer am dependent on my hard drive. I can access all my files from anywhere. The benefits of dropbox are that you are not tethered to any particular device.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am not sure if this is better than google drive or not.
Great for projects to submit work to team and leaders
What do you like best about the product?
This software is a requirement to ensure papers were successfully handed in and did not contain any viruses. It allowed an easy submission and ensured my team and leaders could easily find my projects and ensure there were no viruses or threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was annoying signing in each time, and I wish I could have had a constant sign-in. There is limited usage for users on a free trial basis. The software is expensive and costly in the long term.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It ensured that in an educational setting where millions of documents are being emailed everyday that there was never any jeopardy about whether an assignment was handed in on time
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get used to the program and learn all the features of the programs to understand all its potential.

Best & easiest cloud storage

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the worry about secure cloud file storage out of your day to day, and get rid of trying to figure out where files are. Sign up with Dropbox (free up to a certain amount of storage) and very cost effective for a subscription.
