Pros

“I keep all my templates and commonly used documents stored in Dropbox. When needed, I can simply open a saved file, edit it quickly, and print it without wasting time searching or recreating documents from scratch.”

“It has reduced the hassle of sending large files through email and improved coordination within the team. While pricing can feel a bit high for advanced plans, the convenience and reliability make it a useful tool for daily business operations.”

Akash E.

Operation Manager

“I often search and save exercise sheets whenever I find good resources, and I organize them in Dropbox. Since I don’t use paid exercise apps, I rely on printed exercise sheets for my patients.”

Pros

“The folder permissions are good for when we have to share certain docs with clients or freelancers without letting them see everything else. Plus, version history has saved us a few times already whenever someone accidentally overwrote a file.”

“It offers strong collaboration features, version history, and advanced security controls, making it a great choice for businesses and teams working on shared documents.”
VC

Aba

“An optimal choice for cloud storage, the one stop place for collaborating on various documentation (including versioning). While I'm using Box both within the organization, and also for personal usage, I find it suitable and easy to use for document management, for accessing older versions when needed, and for syncing with local Box Drive.”

Cons

“Storage fills up faster than you’d expect, especially once you start syncing bigger files or a bunch of projects at once, so I’ve had to be more careful about what actually needs to live in there versus what I can keep somewhere else.”
DS

Daniel S.

Manager

“Every once in a while sync will lag behind on a file that’s actively being edited by more than one person, which gets annoying when you’re trying to work off the latest version and it’s not quite caught up.”
DS

Manager

“Some features and additional storage require a paid plan, and it can sometimes be confusing to tell exactly what is included with each plan.”

Michelle C.

CEO

Cons

“I do not like how image/video storage works on box and the latency. If you are storing and sharing images and videos through box, it will take you a lot of time if you are looking for a specific image/video and clicking on each image, it takes so much time to load even with a very high speed internet.”
VK

Vatsal K.

Software Engineer Intern

“The interface can feel less intuitive than some competitors, and certain advanced features are only available on higher-priced plans.”
VC

Viergela C.

Aba

“There's an inefficient notification system, difficulties with integration and file sharing, limitations on file size, and a user interface that can feel dated sometimes.”
