What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox offers a clean and intuitive interface that makes it incredibly easy to upload, organize, and share files. I really appreciate its seamless sync across devices and how quickly files update in real-time. The ability to share large files with just a link, along with version history and file recovery options, adds a lot of value—especially for collaborative work. Dropbox also integrates well with third-party tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, which enhances productivity without switching platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

While Dropbox is reliable, its storage plans can be expensive compared to other cloud providers, especially for individual users or small teams. Also, some advanced features—like Smart Sync and extended version history—are only available on higher-tier plans. Occasionally, the desktop app uses a noticeable amount of system resources, which can slow down performance on older machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

For which purposes doDropbox solves the problem of easy and secure file access across multiple devices. It allows me to store, organize, and share files without worrying about data loss or version conflicts. With real-time sync, I can access updated documents from anywhere, which improves productivity and collaboration—especially when working remotely or with distributed teams. It also helps reduce email attachments by providing shareable links, making communication cleaner and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox is my go to Cloud Storage Service, I always connected with it to backup my important documents, mainly I uses the mobile app of dropbox to backup, it comes in handy, been several years.

I like the Dropbox paper feature the most along with the ease of use interfaces and lots of options for a single document/photo/ file/ etc.

I use dropbox storage as one of my three best storage choice along with Google Drive and OneDrive.

I use it in monthly basis to backup my important files.

It integrates so well with my Devile File Manager as well, all i need to do is login and I can access my DropBox files in my File Manager , My file manager name is Solid Explorer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

I couldn't asked for more simple and easy to use cloud app.

Just like every other major storage app , there is no one time purchase plans to expand storage , "Subscription based Plans" only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox is a good application to store different types of data , be it Photo, Music files, Documents, Videos . I used it to maintain my important files which i need on time to time, keeping it secure and always available in the cloud to use as and when needed.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

I really like how easy Dropbox makes syncing files – you literally just drag something into the folder and boom, it's available everywhere. The version history feature has been a lifesaver for me. I remember this one time I accidentally messed up my KeePass password database, but I could just go back and grab an earlier version from Dropbox. That kind of safety net is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

That said, it's not perfect. The free storage runs out pretty fast, which is annoying. And obviously if your internet goes down, nothing syncs, so you're stuck. I'm also a bit wary about keeping really sensitive stuff on there since it's going through someone else's servers. Plus the desktop app can be a bit of a memory hog sometimes, especially if you're running it on an older computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

I like how easy it is to use when you add the extension to your desktop on your laptop or computer it's all connected to your desktop it seamless and quick you just drop files in and pull files out and it's smooth and easy to use. It's also very affordable for somebody who does freelance work like myself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

I'd say the only thing I don't like is that I get confused sometimes if I pull files off of my desktop is it going to remove them from the drive and vice versa. I also think they don't send enough communications in terms of your account status and extra features you may be able to add or remove. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dropbox gives me a fast and easy way to share large files with clients or potential clients which is something that a lot of other storage systems don't allow or you have to pay a very high premium for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox has been a solid choice for cloud-based document management, offering a simple and intuitive interface that makes file storage and sharing effortless. Its value pricing ensures accessibility for individuals and businesses alike, providing a seamless way to manage documents without unnecessary complexity.

The platform excels in ease of use, with drag-and-drop functionality and automatic synchronization across devices, making it a convenient tool for professionals who need quick access to their files. Additionally, its integration with various third-party applications enhances workflow efficiency.

However, Dropbox does have some limitations. One of the least helpful aspects is its limited free storage, which caps at 2GB—significantly lower than competitors like Google Drive and OneDrive. Additionally, the lack of full device backups means users must rely on alternative solutions for comprehensive data protection. While Dropbox offers strong security features, it does not provide end-to-end encryption, which may be a concern for users handling sensitive information.

Overall, Dropbox remains a reliable and cost-effective cloud storage solution, ideal for those who prioritize simplicity and efficiency in document management. While it has some drawbacks, its straightforward approach and seamless integration make it a worthwhile choice for many users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

As a pastor and student of Charismatic and Pentecostal theology, I rely on digital tools that offer both reliability and efficiency. Dropbox has proven to be an essential part of my workflow, particularly for storing and sharing important documents related to theological studies, sermon notes, and historical research. The best part of Dropbox is sharing files with my team and organizing the files I need for my research.

The paid version of Dropbox offers enhanced storage capacity, faster synchronization, and greater flexibility in sharing files. These features have made it an indispensable tool for collaborating with ministry partners and accessing my research archives from various devices and locations. Its clean user interface and compatibility with multiple platforms add to its usability and dependability in a ministry setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

One of the primary features I find lacking in Dropbox is that the text transcription tool only offers 100 minutes of transcription. For someone who works with audio recordings of sermons and interviews, having a more robust transcription service would be incredibly valuable. At present, the situation requires the use of third-party applications, which adds time and complexity to the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dropbox remains a strong and trustworthy platform for file management in both ministry and academic work. I love the ease of sharing files and using the cloud wherever I am working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

The best thing which I like about dropbox is its incredibly user friendly and reliable, which makes collaboration simple, whether you are working individually or with a team. Dropbox is a strong centre for productivity as it integrates well with third party programs like Slack, Google Workspace and Microsoft office. Its smart sync and version history features are also helpful, as they allow access to files using up local storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

The main point which I don't like about Dropbox is its high pricing compared to its competitors, specially for individual users or small teams. Some advanced features like extended version history or smart sync are only available in higher tier plans. Also, the web interface of dropbox occasionally feels slow, its real time collaboration tool arent as smooth as those provided by other platforms like google drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dropbox solves the problem of secure, centralized file storage and effortless collaboration across device. It eliminates the need to email large files back and forth. For me, it has resulted in better organisation, improved productivity. It is also helping me to share large files securely, track activity, and maintain a professional exchange without relying on email threads or third party file transfer tools. Overall, it helped us improve coordination, saved time and maintain a smooth workflow with both internal teams and external stakeholders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

Dropbox makes file syncing and sharing effortless across devices. I like how it integrates with apps I already use and allows real-time collaboration with others. The interface is clean and intuitive, and file recovery has saved me more than once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

The free plan has very limited storage, and pricing for higher tiers feels steep compared to competitors. Syncing large files can be slow at times, and I wish there were more customization options for folder permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a student working on video editing projects, Dropbox helps me manage large files and stay organized across different devices. I can start editing on my laptop and pick up right where I left off on another computer without transferring anything manually. It also makes it easy to share drafts with classmates or instructors for feedback, and the file recovery feature has saved me more than once when I accidentally deleted a project. Overall, it keeps my workflow smooth and stress-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

What I like most about Dropbox is how easy it is to use. I can save a file on my computer and access it later on my phone or tablet without any hassle. It just works. I’ve used it for both personal and work-related files, and it’s been a dependable tool. The ability to recover previous versions of documents has saved me more than once, and sharing large files with others is much simpler than using email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

The main downside for me is the cost. While it’s a solid service, the pricing can be a bit high, especially if you don’t need all the extra storage or features that come with the higher-tier plans. Also, I’ve had a few minor hiccups with syncing when working with bigger files or folders. It would be nice if it offered more integration options without needing third-party tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dropbox makes it much easier to work with others on shared documents and projects, especially when team members are in different locations. It solves the problem of file version confusion by keeping everything updated in real time. The ability to comment, share, and track changes all in one place helps our workflow stay organized and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dropbox?

I find the program very intuitive and easy to use, and I love the variety of ways you can use and access Dropbox -- I specifically use my Dropbox account to quickly & easily transfer files from my Mac to my PC (something that previously was quite a hassle) -- Dropbox can be accessed online and they have desktop apps, plus apps on both the Apple & Google stores, making transferring files everywhere SO easy! It's also great to be able securely connect with other users to share specific folders/files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dropbox?

Honestly, I haven't really had a bad experience with Dropbox. Perhaps the only thing was reaching the storage limit, but if it's really a problem, you can always upgrade to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dropbox solving and how is that benefiting you?

The versatility of the program is amazing -- on browsers, and both on mobile & desktop apps. It's a great way to quickly and easily transfer files from my Mac to PC, allowing me to design things in my usual apps on the Mac and use them in some programs that only work on PC (ie. touchscreen applications) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
