Document Management, Collaboration, Account Management, Remote Access
Pros
Ease of Managing Documents, create folders as and when needed, access to team members, realtime time document and saving by multiple users
Cons
Online version is slow in terms of speed to access and if two users are simultaneously using the document, it should prioritize the privilege to save the changes by way of notification to the other user instead of saving a conflicted copy

We were attempting to solve a few problems at once and thought we had the key with Dropbox Business; realizing some of its limitations, we felt that - especially for the price - another platform was the better option for us.
Pros
Initially, Dropbox Business was the answer for us in terms of establishing file management and cloud storage systems for our team, but...
Cons
...later we discovered that it lacked substantially in the area of collaboration and version / revision control.

We use it for our document management and cloud systems.
Pros
The integration into the operating system of your choice is smooth and allows for smooth notification so you can work well in the collaborative spirit.

Dropbox provides us with a flexible, platform agnostic cloud storage system that makes file exchange, document management, and archiving easy.
Pros
Dropbox is not within the Microsoft, Google, or Apple ecosystem, which gives it a unique position in the cloud storage arena.
Cons
Dropbox is not the best value when compared to other cloud storage platforms.

Digital asset management, collaborative tools, storage, file management, metadata, sharing documentation, linking assets to websites
Pros
The team sharing capabilities enable multiple users to proof documents from varied locations in our case, which makes the collaborative process on literature revisions much smoother.
Cons
There isn't anything I don't like about Dropbox Business. I guess it could be cheaper, but since corporate pays for it - not something I ever have to see! But the price is definitely worth it in this case.

Great for simple drop and go repository and basic organisation, but you have to spend the money if you want to ensure you can find a document quickly again, without sifting through the thousands of documents it returns on a search.
Pros
East to drag and drop, create folders, scan directly to the Dropbox.
Cons
Searching brings up thousands of documents and hard to narrow down your search.

I like that you can have tons of storage & that documents update pretty much in real-time without having to think about it.
Pros
I like that you can make some folder secure and only give viewing permissions to those who should be accessing those files.
Cons
Sometimes it's really hard to navigate & the user interface is not the most pretty or intuitive.

The unlimited API request is also great feature which can be customzied as per the need.
Pros
Advance sharing permission which allow the protect file with password and option like link expiry.
Cons
Dropbox business should enhance the user interface for network control to manage the team access as it needs a lot to dig at the time of auditing the tiered administration.

There are a couple things that frustrate me from time to time (see above), but overall it's a phenomenal product and in my experience the best of the various file-management-in-the-cloud products.
Pros
So, I guess what I like most is: high level of data security, ease of synchronizing across platforms, automatic versioning, relative ease of sharing documents with clients and collaborators.
Cons
I do wish the web interface was easier to navigate--same for versioning and collaboration. I usually access my company's Dropbox directly from my Mac's file system, and don't do a ton of collaboration, so it's normally a non-issue--but yeah, the web interface takes some getting used to.

Last but not least, reduce unnecessary courier fees to third-party companies to send vital files, therefore ensure maximum cost savings for companies while boosting the ROI for the company.
Pros
It can allow third parties to share the files despite them having Dropbox software; therefore help to reduce the work time and enhance operational efficiency.
Cons
For Mobile Dropbox users, not getting a pop-up notification when activity was done by using a PC 3.

Team file management, free interface and cloud storage (at a limit), file-sharing folders for team projects, and an alternative to Apple Cloud-- which I have found to be quite expensive.
Pros
My favorite feature is the automatic upload dropbox folder, so I just drop files in there and they are saved to the Dropbox cloud.
Cons
I have found the upload time for photos to drag a bit, no matter what internet connection or speed I have.

I referred him so we could use the sharing functionality instead of emailing files back and forth as we worked on them while discussing them over AIM. That feature saved us a great deal of time and I think is one of Dropbox's most useful assets.
Pros
• Very easy to collaborate with remote (outside your local network) partners • Corporate version has an administrator console to manage licenses and permissions • Web interface for when you're away from your regular computer • Cloud backup and sync across computers is automatic
Cons
Security can be a concern if someone accesses your computer and gets your authorization token, but good security practices should prevent that from happening.
