Dropbox

It works almost instantly across devices, and I rarely have to worry about whether my files are updated or not. I also appreciate the simple and clean interface-- It doesn't feel cluttered or confusing. Everything is easy to find, and sharing files is quick and hassle-free.

Dropbox does have a great UI and makes drag and drop and storage simple. File sharing is incredibly easy, particularly with outside parties. Given our work with outside agencies, this was key. Dropbox Sync is a great tool for backups and ease of editing documents directly on your device.

I like that it has email reminders set up for those who haven't opened or signed the document yet. Also, on the dashboard, you will see all the PENDINGS, which I find very helpful.

Dislike about the dropbox is the limited free storage, which runs out pretty quickly if you're dealing with large files. It feels like you're pushed toward upgrading sooner than expected. Some useful features are locked behind paid plans, which can be frustrating for regular users. Compared to other tools, it can feel a bit restrictive unless you're paying.

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.

I don't have any negative review on this product, but if I can suggest one thing, it is to have a filter for documents that are more than 30 days. They only have a summary for 30 days, and it would be a good thing to have a filter for like 90 days or for a year.
