## Reviews

### "The Best Backup Solution For Business" — 5.0/5

> **Finan** | *03 February 2024* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the cloud backup features
It makes encryption easy and so is compression

### "Una buena herramienta para guardar archivos y accederlos fácilmente" — 5.0/5

> **Guillermo** | *21 September 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Dropbox Used in our Legal Practice" — 5.0/5

> **Aaron** | *27 November 2023* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10

### "Facile à utiliser" — 5.0/5

> **Djam ndoue** | *19 October 2022* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sa facilité d'utilisation et la possibilité de travailler avec une version gratuite avec un stockage limité.

> 
> Bien pour stocker quel truc personnel mais dommage que le stockage offert est en bas de la concurrence
