Companies of all sizes use Dropbox Business for collaboration, file sharing, online backup, and more.
Web-based digital asset management solution, which assists businesses of all sizes with file management, collaboration, document scanning, and personalized search.
We loved the ability to share documents throughout the company with Dropbox. We ended up switching to OneDrive - only because it is free to us.
There have been instances where we have experienced sync conflicts in folders that resulted in multiple copies of documentation sitting around and that can get confusing.
Well the overall business experience of the dropbox is just amazing its like who can't afford the price for they have free version too well it's great.
Looking for a passive aggressive way to make someone miserable, Dropbox is the tool for you.
It is an easy way to store files and documents and have them organized. It is also super useful you can then access everything you upload from any other device or share them with someone else.
I suspect that it could be vulnerable to malware if anyone on the team uploads an infected file.
Super simple for me, super fast secure and accessible anywhere. It's a great product that is integrated into all operating systems and devices.
Sometimes there are errors in synchronizing files. With poor internet its difficult for all the files to be uploaded.
OneDrive was a wonderful storage solution for me during my time in college and worked wonderfully for collaborating on projects with classmates.
There are times that syncing between two different devices can be delayed or simply does not work at all.
Overall, outstanding experience, and I would recommend to all of my current and new colleagues.
The only bad thing about this software is the accessibility and getting the hang of the software as in the beginning it was very confusing.
It is great that we can share all the reports, projects and other documentation with such ease and it is accessible for our colleagues in offices around the globe.
When using the synchronized option, the file cannot be modified by accessing it directly from the folder as it will be corrupted and become error. It defeats the purpose of this feature.
Onedrive its fast and reliable it is very secure, and it is very user friendly, very good for work and college projects.
There tends to be more spam associated with OneDrive, occasionally I will receive an email from someone I corresponded with that appears to have a one drive attachment but is actually spam.
Allison B.: Hi, my name is Allison. I am a litigation paralegal, and on a scale of one to five, I give Dropbox a five. Currently, we use Dropbox to actually communicate with other attorneys, courts. We store our files there, and it's very, very time management, and it's great so that we can literally assign clients their Dropbox. They can go in and they can insert pictures or whatever they need to put in those spots also. So we basically use it as a tool for our case management. What I like most is that I can use it here at the office or if I'm at home. Let's say I'm on vacation, I'm never without it. I'm always able to access it and get the information. It's not like just, okay, if you save something on your desktop or on your normal computer, you go out of town, client call, you have no access, you have to call into the office. But with Dropbox, you always have that information, so I like the flexibility. Well our firm is pretty large. We have about anywhere from 15 to 20. We do way over $1 million in revenue a year, so I haven't had a problem where anything gets stuck, anything get lost, or I get to a place or go somewhere where I'm not able to access Dropbox. So right now I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: My name is Michelle and I'm a paralegal owner at MTP Paralegal Services, and I would give OneDrive a five out of five. Before OneDrive, I was using iCloud, and I wasn't able to properly share it with my teammates, but on OneDrive I was able to... it's easier for me to share access with my teammates. Okay, I chose OneDrive because I was able to incorporate it into everything that I used, which included Excel, and also Word documents, and I was also able to save other files. It was quite easy to get OneDrive into the business, because everybody was already familiar with Microsoft, so it was an easy transition. My only advice would be to probably keep your password, if you're sharing it with different people, to have access to that, because sometimes it does sign out, and so when you're trying to access the file, sometimes you need to re-sign in. That would be my advice to anybody using it with other users.
