Decent Auto Backup Solution

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.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

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.

Reasons for choosing Dropbox Backup

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

Easy secure cloud storage

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.

ultra-high efficiency cloud

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

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

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)

Dropbox BackUp is a No for Me

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.
