It has been a decent product, but nothing exceptional. I think this works fine to backup our important files as a second form of security, but it is not my favorite solution.

Pros

I have our critical customer files being constantly backed up and updated, and the software makes it very easy to keep up with those changes and see when previous updates were - just in case we accidentally delete something!

Cons

It has a hard time keeping up with the updates and always says it is still trying to do all of my files at essentially one time and crashing itself out.

Alternatives Considered

OneDrive

Reasons for Switching to Dropbox Backup

The user interface of OneDrive is nearly impossible to use and I could not connect it easily to my local backup solution.

Dropbox provides a free backup service from the desktop app or via a web browser. I've found it very helpful as a passive background tool to keep my files backed-up.

Pros

The thing I like most about Dropbox is the way it integrates with so many other online services.

Cons

The thing I like least about Dropbox is the regular upsell for a subscription service.

Alternatives Considered

Google Drive

Reasons for Switching to Dropbox Backup

I use Dropbox in addition to these other services.

It worked but we needed to put all our files into a single directory. Probably we lost some information on how to install or setup.

Pros

Is probably one of the easier solutions to implement. Plug n Play, but you cannot change a lot of things.
Simply works without supervision

Cons

Less options compared with our final solution (Synology)
Easy to backup the main directory, but if you have a more diverse file system, is not so easy to implement

Software Engineer First Experience with Dropbox

Reviewed on 2023/10/04

Pros

As a software engineer, the most impactful features are version control and file history, auto sync, and data privacy and security.

Cons

The most critical features to be improved are advanced search, enhanced performance for large files, and more granular access control like adding restriction based on IP addresses.

Dropbox is a means of storing files that can be transferred if desired by synchronizing or doing it manually.

Pros

What I like about Dropbox is that you can manually download files from your Dropbox account to another external location or another online storage service.

Cons

What I don't like is the security on Dropbox; I don't find it convincing enough compared to other storage services like iCloud, for example.

most important data I put on dropbox, security guaranteed, even remotely. Great company.

Pros

the seriousness of the company, has been in business for many years and has adopted a policy of quality data consevation. The "bits" are not all the same in terms of how they are stored in the various competing clouds; the dropbox systems (although they do not publicize these technical aspects too much) are the top. So if you care about your data you are in the right place.

Cons

the cost is not the cheapest and the free level is smaller than the competition. But they are correct commecial policies! You can't keep data safe with just any free cloud because free tiers of any online service (not just cloud, even email services for example) are not guaranteed. If you want a service you have to pay for it! Their cloud is the most secure so they are right not to be the cheapest, plus the free tier should be used as a test and not perpetual security of your data (with any cloud)

Poor, I would say. Didn't really love using it, good thing we decided to switch. Personally, I did not find it to be user-friendly as the other software we're currently using, sorry.

Pros

Nothing, we tried using it for more than a year but it just didn't work for us, sorry.

Cons

Everything, it's not just the same as GDrive, plus it's too expensive. My company decided to switch because it was costing us a lot to be honest.

Pros

With features of automatic backup of specified team files and folder with secured encryption, what I like most about dropbox backup is it's exceptional customer support. Anytime we face a issue and we can talk to their support team within minutes. No chats, no tickets , no drama unlike other providers- Direct one to one talk with representative.

Cons

Although it has very nice UI, sometimes it's navigation is bit difficult for managing team. Only few trained people can set it up and use it regularly for entire team.

Cons

There's an equal chance of Dropbox Backup working properly and your in-laws showing up at the absolute worst and most inappropriate time. If that didn't translate correctly- Dropbox Backup= Great, Reliable.

Dropbox nos ha ayudado muchísimo a trabajar online, pues todo el equipo en diferentes partes del mundo tiene acceso remoto a los archivos y modificarlos, a su vez cada vez que terminan una tarea puede ver al momento que ha cargado el archivo y debidamente guardado por la seguridad en la nube si pasa cualquier cosa.

Pros

Dropbox está un poco por encima de herramientas similares, porque puedes usar el almacenamiento de la nube como una extensión de tu computadora, es como si tienes un disco duro conectado pero con la ventaja que si por alguna razón se te daña tienes todo respaldado en la nube fácilmente. También te permite de acceder dependiendo del plan otros usuarios y modificar archivos y actualizarlos al instante

Cons

Quizá aumentar un poco el tamaño de personas que puedan acceder y asignar roles de administrador o solo lectura sería genial para poder tener un equipo de trabajo más grande trabajando siempre en la nube.
