    Considered Both Products

    Chose Dropbox Business
    Dropbox Business stacks up well with most of the competition, but the pricing is on the high side, if it continues to increase then we would have to look for alternatives with the same or similar features.

    Chose Dropbox Business
    Microsoft Teams works well but doesn't save files well and sometimes pieces go missing. [In] Dropbox Business, you can work simultaneously and files don't get corrupted. It is more user-friendly and makes working more efficient.

    Chose Dropbox Business
    Dropbox Business is basically an industry standard for file storage at this point and most clients and team members will be familiar with it. Sharefile’s main advantage is its security. It provides more security options than Dropbox. The only downside that our team saw with …

    Chose Dropbox Business
    They are very alike-- in the end we need to work locally more often than others, so for that reason we went with Dropbox business as our main internal group collab for files. Box's security is better, but Dropbox's sync and sync control is better.

    Chose Dropbox Business
    Very similar all in all. DropBox was the most familiar to our team and seamless. Will continue to do research as we grow as a business to make sure this is the right fit.

    Chose Dropbox Business
    Dropbox is one of the better file/folder sync programs out there. The feature set is more robust than OneDrive and easier to administer as well. Dropbox isn't one of the cheaper products out there, but is does well as a stand alone product (meaning no server is needed). The …

    The user experience can't be overlooked as to how good it is. Users don't need any training and they can work right away. OneDrive isn't reliable and none of the other products stack up for the user experience.

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Dropbox Business makes it really difficult to share individual folders collaboratively with a PASSWORD with outside users. I didn't realize this until I was locked in for a year, so I was mad. Citrix allows for storage that is useful to me and secure for the clients.

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    First and foremost we are both a Citrix and Microsoft partner so we will always recommend their products. 3 years ago we found ShareFile's biggest selling point was the ease of setup, administration, and ease of use while still being an enterprise-grade product. We also enjoyed …

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Our main determination of moving to Citrix ShareFile is the recognized security features. ShareFile was created with this in mind and went out of their way in the sales process to help us understand their features. We also work with many large healthcare organizations so this …

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Cost is the main reason that we went with Citrix ShareFile. Both have the functionality that we need. Dropbox is more robust (though Citrix ShareFile is catching up), but we have no need for the more robust features. We were essentially able to have 1 additional user for free …

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Dropbox and Box are both great file-sharing services as well but offer minimal integration features for the programs. The UI for both is simpler but the workflow features of Citrix make it a win for us as it gives us the ability to automate many things we used to manually do, …

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Citrix ShareFile has the workflow capabilities and collaboration features that others don't. This made the solution more appealing to us.

    Dropbox for Business coming further along and could surely offer the FTP like functionality we are looking for as well as the centralized admin piece but there were two main things Dropbox could not help us with. They did not offer the Outlook plugin capability nor did they …

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Sharefile is significantly better than other options I have tried. These other options do not offer customized branding, the level of granular permissions details, or the simplicity of use for our team and our clients.

    Chose Progress ShareFile
    Sharefile gave me more control on the files my employees shared. When an employee departed I simply moved their shared files into the collective. Sharefile also cost less then Dropbox for Business and Box. Dropbox for Business was difficult to administrate.
    Incentivized
    Chose Progress ShareFile
    They are all very similar but we chose Sharefile because its features were what we were looking for in a storage and transfer program. We are very heavy users and it manages to maintain and never go down with us where we have had issues in the past with Dropbox.
