We use Dropbox for our file management system. It has been very helpful since we are all in different locations and of course there is the ability to see changes made by colleagues. Dropbox addresses issues around file management, collaboration, and access since we are all in different locations. It allows us to file documents in an easily accessible way for all employees regardless of location, collaborate on documents and see who last edited or if a document is currently being edited and it provides easy access for us all at an moment.
Pros
Easy to access files
Easy to see who last made changes
Easy to collaborate
Cons
Dropbox could improve the ability to access and send files from the web browser
It would be great to be able to attach a file from the browser without sending a link
It would also be helpful to see edits that were made similar to track changes and being able to turn that on or off
Likelihood to Recommend
Again its well suited for collaborating, file management, seeing changes made and quick access to files. For example, we use Dropbox for documents that we share with clients, various people edit and collaborate on those documents.
We also use it to store documents for each client project so that allows us all easy access at any time to documents for client projects and the ability to organize documents for each client project.
It's not as well suited for editing, you can see that someone is in the document or working on it but you cannot see edits that were made or any changes/updates.
