Having a central repository where we can share and interact with the different files we use as a team has been really smooth for our business processes. As a Sales team that is working remotely, Dropbox solved a problem that we never thought we would have, until we all started working remotely because of covid and the lockdowns. The cloud storage offering from Dropbox has been critical in ensuring our efficiency as a team, and having the ability to operate on different operating systems was a plus to the team. It has definitely made collaboration smoother, you have multiple ways of sharing files and documents, and the fact that it integrates with other major platforms that you might already be using as an organization is a relief. One feature we love as a team as well is the seamless sync option from different devices, which makes collaboration a lot easier as everything we do is updated in real-time and syncs across all devices. > > **Cons**: The major issue for us was that sometimes it takes longer to load large files and if you are on a deadline, it can mess with you. In most cases, it takes way longer to load larger files than it should normally do. That is my main challenge with Dropbox at the moment > > Our overall experience with Dropbox has been superb. We definitely got the return for investing in the platform and we got that back in a short period of time. The collaboration between the team has been seamless since we all work remotely, we can easily manage our files and documents, we can manage our storage without too many problems and we can now deliver to our clients in time and efficiently. The pricing is fair and it's easy to use as compared to other platforms in the same space and has been an industry leader in this space for years as well. ----- ### "Dropbox. More secure than Googel one drive." — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *30 March 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system allows me to share files internally and externally (links, permissions, expiry, passwords). The real-time collaboration + tools like Dropbox Paper, e-signatures, and DocSend tracking kae it easier to collaberate remotely (which we do) > > **Cons**: The cost compared to Google one drive is obvisous. Another thing is that people who are used to Google One drive have a steep learning curve with DB business..especially boomers. > > It has done well with our team and I feel it is more secure than Google Drive. Pricing is reasonable for what we get, and the storage and option to download to computer are good features. ----- ### "Great alternative to OneDrive, with some caveats." — 4.0/5 > **David** | *12 February 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Folder structure works well, desktop app works consistently and sync's with mobile uploads almost instantaneously. > > **Cons**: Not the fault of Dropbox, but Microsoft Files doesn't allow advanced features for files stored in Dropbox. Such as auto-save and shared access. > > Have used Dropbox Business for the better part of 10 years. Although OneDrive is another app we use, I prefer DropBox when it comes to sharing files with people outside my organization. It just works easier than OneDrive. ----- ### "frustrating- I gave up" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much I liked about it to be onest. I gave up because the interface and synching was so convoluted . > > **Cons**: The interface is so difficult. I coulsn't find my stuff, wasn't sure if things would sync. i found it unnecesary difficult to set it up and to access files. ----- ### "Reliable use of DropBox" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *19 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This storage option gives our company the best value for the money. It is very easy to use and well known by other companies so they are familiar with the product when it is emailed to them. I was impressed how it allows me to send access to multiple people for team collaboration on projects and would allow me to have the team organize all by folders which made easy searching and navigation of the project. > > **Cons**: I have seen situations where clients have rejected the access I sent to them because their email security blocked it. This is due to the the fact that many phishing emails will create a link like DropBox and can make people suspicious. I suggest notifying people before you send. > > Overall the system works great for us in it's amount of storage it will hold and the speed that it will upload and download data for use. Customer support has been great when I have had any type of upload or access issues. I was always able to get a return call. Working remotely was made much easier using Dropbox also when I am not in the office but work on the road or at home. I would not make it without DropBox. ----- Page: 1 / 869\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/143068/dropbox-business?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/143068/dropbox-business) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
