Allison B
Litigation Paralegal
5.0

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.

Alexis S
Managing Director
5.0

Alexis S.: Hello, my name is Alexis, account manager for Genumark, and I give WeTransfer a five star. Before using WeTransfer, I would use WinZip and WinRAR. And even though that was the standard software to be downloading compressed files, I found that they were a little clunky and the interface was not very user-friendly. Those are all things that were really simplified and streamlined by WeTransfer. Main reasons for switching to WeTransfer was the fact that our company was not allowing us to receive zipped files anymore because a lot of malware and just viruses were being transferred by zip files, so we found that the companies that we worked with that were transferring large files, they needed another method to do that. And FTP sites were not adequate. And because we were barred from using WinZip and WinRAR, WeTransfer just answered all those requirements. It was a great fit. I started using the free version of WeTransfer. I used it for about four months. And it was something that I heard from one of my clients that said, "Hey, if I need to get you a file over, I'm going to send it to you by WeTransfer." And I was amazed at how quickly it was able to use and navigate. And I just right away adopted that as a platform for being able to transfer files. It was so easy, very user-friendly. No issues whatsoever. If you're looking for a solution of being able to transfer large files, WeTransfer is the software, the platform to integrate into your organization. Especially the pro version, which allows you to even manage larger files but also being able to see the files that you have uploaded and just be able to manage all the files that you have going on between you and your clients or customers.
