Estela G.

HR Assistant

“I like that it offers multiple project views like lists, boards, timelines, and calendars, which makes it flexible for different types of workflows and teams.”

Gabby W.

Founder

Pros

“That it is efficient for jobs that are work from home but still need to access documents from the company.”
BP

Brittany P.

Case Manager

“The ability to create templates and collaborate using many device types, e.g., desktop, tablet, smartphone.”
TD

Tom D.

I love Dropbox for the “easy to use” feels sometimes, depending on what you’re doing and it gives you lots of space for any type plod project you may have or files and documents
BD

Blake D.

Director

Cons

“The mobile app is extremely slow when attachments are large and basically unusable when you are trying to view both completed and active tasks simultaneously due to the filter settings. When I utilize the planning tool it creates duplicate tasks if I attempt to enter hours manually which then makes the entire list look like chaos and I have to go back and correct it.”
TK

Tatsiana K.

Manager

“Also, the transition between the list view and the timeline view can sometimes feel a bit clunky if you’re managing massive, multi-phase projects with tons of dependencies.”
KH

Kira H.

Project manager

“Similar to other tools like Asana that I have used-- I think Asana has too much capability-- they try to be flexible to cater to as many differetn workflows as possible, but instead, they confuse their customer base on how the product is intended to be used.”

Cons

“Some times drop box doesn't allow you to click and drag files and store some large files too.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Xola K.

Founder

“More sophisticated project needs like modifying it in any way and notifying the members each time is not as efficient.”
SS

Shivani S.

Graduate assistant

“However, it does mean that I have a copy of everything on my local computer, and that can take up significant hard drive storage space quickly. If Dropbox is not installed on your computer, it will take longer to visit the website, enter your details and find the document you want, then you will have to download and install it before you can upload it.”
