Considered Both Products
Ace Cloud VDI
Chose Ace Cloud VDI
We selected Ace as they provide better quality services at a very cheaper rate and the other reason is you can expect round the clock support from their IT team.
Chose Ace Cloud VDI
Ace Cloud Hosting is the best cloud service we have ever used. It has been the best service provider. The services offered by them are no match and top tier. The VDI service of them is the best service they provide. Their support is 24*7 available and good response from the team
Chose Ace Cloud VDI
We selected Ace Cloud Hosting as it has been serving the clients for 14+ years all around the globe. Ace Cloud Hosting has 24*7 customer support available and every time I or any of my team members had any difficulties using the product they were able to solve instantly.
Chose Ace Cloud VDI
Ace Cloud Hosting has an easier onboarding process, is less expensive, and has less issues and downtime than any competitors I have used.
Dropbox
Chose Dropbox
Google drive's privacy is like way worse.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is more user friendly for file storage when you want to open and make notes on pdf etc.
Chose Dropbox
I think Dropbox is better and also better priced. They are quite different to what Dropbox is used for but I do use we transfer once in a while when people don't have access or an account with Dropbox
Chose Dropbox
I like to use OneDrive for photos/log-term storage. It gives me more storage space but seems to take longer to sync than Dropbox. That's why I use Dropbox for file sharing, current work, and photos that I'm using at this moment. I had Dropbox first because I had the free …
Chose Dropbox
Reliability, precise and seamless synchronisation are the top features that make Dropbox my preferred choice.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox has been around for quite some time and I feel like it's a pretty trustworthy and long lasting platform. I'm thankful that I still have files saved over the past 10 years that are easily accessible to me.
Chose Dropbox
I use Google Drive for personal projects (although frankly, I have a personal account on Dropbox too). I don't think I'd ever use Google Drive for a professional project.
Chose Dropbox
It is good, but sometimes I just feel good about using the apple product since I have the iphone and imac. But whenever I use Dropbox I am reminded that I could do everything I am doing there within Dropbox and that I typically feel more comfortable that my files are safe.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is somehow easier to use, it is lighter and faster. Also the UX is more understandable and clear to me. I used Google Drive because it was a standard with one of my clients... But I really didn't like it. I truly hope, I will not be forced to use it again.
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox provides a much larger amount of storage, a wide range of file acceptance, and a more direct integration into our devices. Although Google Drive is useful, it has too many limitations for our business to use in the quantity and quality we want. Google Drive also mostly …
Chose Dropbox
Dropbox is strong in terms of navigability and storage. However, Google Drives proves stronger for collaborating on live documents
Chose Dropbox
sharepoint does not connect with file explorer like Dropbox does. it is more difficult to work on files in sharepoint as well as you edit them in the browser, rather than through another application. for example: on sharepoint, an excel spreadsheet can only be edited through …
Chose Dropbox
Compares well. The two work very similarly on my MacOS latop, but I feel Dropbox has the edge on mobile devices. Google Drive web interface seems more intuitive and it's easier to share files and links to files. Both are comparable with price and storage options. Would be good …
Chose Dropbox
I like the Dropbox because it’s convenient and Photo Booth should be added. My Photo Booth is free right now and I wish Dropbox was free because this is a little too expensive. I feel like the price is a little too outstanding I wish they would lower it because this don’t make …
Chose Dropbox
I started on Dropbox before any of these. I hate OneDrive as it constantly crashes. Google Drive enables collaboration simultaneously, as does Teams, but the limited formatting options in Google's version of Word drives me nuts. With Teams - because I didn't create the files …
Chose Dropbox
You can create an account easily and begin storing files but an account is not required in order to access them the way it is on some of these other programs. Also, any type of file can be easily stored and downloaded to a device with Dropbox, but some of these attempt to …
Chose Dropbox
The above products have good features but have some functionality missing in each of them. In comparison, Dropbox has all of them included in it which is very helpful.
Chose Dropbox
It is [...] easy to navigate. You don't have a learning curve with Drive. I selected Dropbox because I did not select Dropbox. It is my organization's native cloud storage so I had to deal with it. I am not mad, also not disappointed, but also not happy.
Chose Dropbox
A bit less integrated than iCloud or OneDrive, but the company has focused on this aspect since day one. I have always used it and trust it.

I appreciate that a backup of my data is regularly updated and stored at more than one location in the U.S. One
of our employees got a new computer about a month after we started using Act
Cloud Hosting, and the employee simply contacted tech support and they helped
her get her new computer connected to the server and she was back working in a
very short time. And I appreciate that they have always followed up after a tech support request to make sure that I am satisfied.

Dropbox is great for everyone. Data on a hard drive is no longer secure. Learned the hard way when a hard drive fried. It's great for families, students, artists, entrepreneurs, consultants, small businesses, startups, graphic designers, and photographers. Did I leave anyone out?

Cons
  • Centralization of communication. My experience tells me that there are people initiating emails without the knowledge and the status of the progress with the installation

  • I’d like to be able to hover over an image/document and have it expand/enlarge without actually opening it
  • I’d love to see a carousel that lets me thumb through more quickly
  • I’m almost always in thumbnail view. I’d like to see them re-organize automatically when something is moved or deleted instead of leaving an empty space.
  • AI options for photo editing.
  • Easier pdf markups

Even though it has its shortcomings, Dropbox is an exceptionally useful product for simple file sharing. It’s intelligent design and user-friendly interface have continued to facilitate project completion. However, as we expand, we will probably look to other solutions for storage and sharing as we undertake larger and more intensely collaborative projects

Usability
It was a savior and I had no issues that were not easily resolved. There was always someone there no matter what time. It was easy to use and most important it saved me tons of money and time. It just was a great decision to use there product and services.

It works extremely well, and we have never had any issues with connecting or sharing files. It's very easy to use, and any team member can share, add, and delete files to a virtual drive. This is extremely helpful, and it's an amazing tool to use, ensuring everyone can connect and work together effectively.

Performance

Dropbox is really useful, you can access any file from anywhere and you can upload and even edit files online, but, sometimes it can be slow. Downloading, uploading, and syncing is a bit slow, it can take several minutes. Furthermore, the search engine for large amounts of data can be slow too and it is not powerful.

They immediately responded like in an example that I gave where one of our staff members accidentally deleted the whole Special Hope Network Dropbox, we immediately contacted Dropbox they walked us through the steps of how to retrieve the information and luckily enough we were able to retrieve the entire Dropbox and we have had back and forth with Dropbox on what to do when an employee leaves how to remove them how to add another employee.

I did not personally take any training for Dropbox so I am self taught but I know when our Vice President selected Dropbox, he personally did do some training modules on it and I'm assuming it was very easy and simple to understand since he now acts like he is a pro at it!

I prefer the layout and visual aspect of Dropbox as it mirrors my files on my computer. I feel that I am more organized, and it's easier to find my files in Dropbox than it was with Google Drive.

Return on Investment
  • Saved me two extra users to QuickBooks which prices kept increasing for Accountants with Payroll.
  • It allowed me to focus on tax returns which my billable hours are more then data entry and not have to stop in QuickBooks for someone to use my computer.

  • I access my Dropbox account from anywhere—any computer, my smartphone —is very accessible while still secure.
  • I would like it to be more editable with existing projects. This could be just me.
  • I would like it to integrate better with other systems, such as email and Office.
