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.”

Manpreet K.

Physiotherapist

“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.”

Manpreet K.

Physiotherapist

Pros

“At the time there was limited options, could only back up file and folders.”

Joel B.

Partner

“They asked me to update my payment method.”

Peter W.

Technical Director

“I've tried restoring my files using multiple versions of their software, on multiple operating systems, and with different levels of permissions on the systems where the files were being restored.”

Mike B.

Owner

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.”

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.”

Daniel S.

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

“CrashPlan wasn't ever very reliable, but became unusable with changes their business made a few years ago, leaving us spending a lot of time and money to find a better solution.”

Caleb S.

Network Engineer

“I paid for CrashPlan Pro and was not able to install anything.”

Barry H.

Administrator

“No ability to install on my computer.”
