What I like most is how seamlessly everything works together, especially the real-time synchronization that keeps files updated across devices without any extra effort. The interface is very intuitive so it is easy to navigate and manage files without much prior experience. I also find the collaboration features quite effective for sharing files.

One of our major needs was some sort of metadata or tagging. We have tens of thousands of photos and artfiles, so locating them, even with a great folder structure, is difficult. Sometimes we are looking for an image with really specific items in it, but Dropbox never arrived at the level of tagging we needed. I would regularly connect with Dropbox reps at conferences and I would hear the same story: they knew the need, but it wasn't immediately on the roadmap. This went on for years until we finally left for another tool. Eventually, the UI felt very dated, still stuck back few years back, even after a decade. The current iteration of a double sidebar just feels even more complex and hard to navigate.
