Looking for a Dropbox Business review? Maybe you were interested in a document management system<\/a>, and you want to know if Dropbox Business is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve come to the right place! Those looking at new modes of file sharing to enable remote working might be wondering what solution to turn to in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new normal, we\u2019ve grown used to online-only colleagues and stopped relying on the office Nespresso machine (by getting our own).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some things still feel like they\u2019d be easier to carry out in person, such as brainstorm sessions or collaborating on documents. No worries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our experience, Dropbox Business helps bridge the gap between you and your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re entirely new to Dropbox , or have had experience with Dropbox personal and wonder if upgrading to Dropbox Business will boost productivity, you can take it from us \u2014 it\u2019s a worthwhile switch that\u2019ll make remote working a breeze, thanks to cloud storage and collaboration features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 reasons why we love Dropbox Business, and why it may not be for you.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Cloud Storage enables remote working<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While most of us struggled with remote working in the beginning, it\u2019s quickly become just another way to deliver good work without stepping foot into the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth noting that despite the distance, most of us still continue to collaborate with each other in a team-like structure \u2014 whether it\u2019s a short-term project with lightning-fast turnaround or a long-term one that spans several months and requires all parties to have access to the same up-to-date files, Dropbox Business makes remote working easier than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially important if you\u2019re working in a team whose members are currently located in different countries. Due to COVID and recent MOM changes, it\u2019s now not uncommon to have a team that comprises members from various countries and even different time zones. Dropbox business gives you a file storage solution that lets you store and access files from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Web Imp was one of the companies that made the change to remote working ahead of the pack, thanks to our early adoption of Dropbox Business. Many features such as Team Folders and Dropbox Paper made the entire experience a smooth one, with each employee gaining access to necessary files that facilitated an easy transition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Unlimited storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next thing we love about Dropbox Business? The unlimited storage space (in Dropbox Business Advanced).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you can upload large working files such as PSDs, high-quality images, and videos with ease without worrying about needing more space down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also means cutting out unnecessary third-party file-sharing websites, since each file uploaded to Dropbox Business comes with its own shareable URL for access, making sending big files to clients a breeze. You can even send entire folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, we have a policy of recording our Zoom meetings and saving them so that we can review them at a later date. The same applies to client meetings and training sessions, which makes information sharing easier than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this respect, collaborating and communicating over Dropbox Business trumps its real-life counterpart thanks to digital recording. For example, our project manager Rain records all their meetings, which means accruing over 50GB of meetings in a span of less than two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Zoom recordings are stored safely in our Dropbox Business account, ready for access and review anytime at our convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dropbox just syncs better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dropbox Business syncs differently from other types of file-sharing software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dropbox Paper does so much<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advertised as \u201ca co-editing tool that brings creation and coordination together in one place\u201d, Dropbox Paper almost seems like the perfect answer to those who miss brainstorming with their colleagues over a drawing pad in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. File version and recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever accidentally deleted a file and forgot that CTRL-Z (or Command-Z for Mac users) exists \u2014 this feature was made with you in mind. As we expand our digital worlds, many now preserve their files online or in hard drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, nothing is more painful than losing a digital file: you can piece together a torn note or straighten out a crumpled piece of paper, but once a digital document is gone it most likely stays gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, one danger of having many people work on one document, is that certain changes are saved over another persons’ accidentally. Not all software saves file versions, but Dropbox Business lets you recover previous versions of files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. External Large File Sharing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those of us who are client-facing, we face a unique set of challenges compared to a coworker who works internally. Sharing files with the client can be difficult with myriad software tools out there for us to choose from, but Dropbox Business simplifies the process greatly with user-focused features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dropbox Business allows us to share files easily by just sending a link. You can share large files up to 1000GB, without taking up space in your storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
