A data backup service

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.

Functionality

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.

A valable hub to share documents with peers

I think it has a limited storage for non-paid user and it better to upgrade the capability for security.

Easy to use, the first but not the best

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.

Functionality

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
