✓ DropBoxNow for business use, DropBox is my go-to software. It has so many perks such as commenting on files, password encryption on folders, third-party applications, and etc.. Although you only get a free 2GB storage upon creating an account, you can extend it to 2TB for only $10 a month. A bit pricey but its actually a great investment for your business in the long run.

I use Dropbox for my team’s file sharing. It is not the cheapest file sharing tool out there, but I believe it is the most comprehensive.

It allows me to do things like website backup, team file sharing, setting permissions on who can access which files, and it is very established, so I am confident my files are safe and the company is not going to have financial issues resulting in having to make a change in the future.

My top recommendation for photographers or photography companies is Dropbox. Dropbox is a cloud service option that allows for a collaborative work environment and unlimited storage capability. Owners have complete control in terms choosing precisely who has access to what files with high security control such as access level, file encryption, and safe file sharing. With the ability to integrate seamlessly with third party services such as Office 365 and Outlook, Dropbox provides the perfect photography file-sharing tool. The flexibility of a three-tiered pricing plan and a 30 day free trial allows the service to be optimized and tested for your particular needs.

Without any doubt, I would recommend Dropbox as a first choice. I’ve been using it for the last 3 years either with my partner, service providers (accountant, freelancers, etc.), or side projects. So far, I haven’t experienced any issues or even a little bug. It’s both easy to set up and very easy to use.

I use Dropbox for all file-sharing internally and with clients. Dropbox offers selective sync to keep hard drive space free so your computer can keep moving quickly. Also works great on mobile devices for when on the go.

I highly recommend Dropbox as it allows us to share files and send file requests to other departments or clients even if they don’t have a Dropbox account. Multiple users can leave comments in the files and can collaborate with Office suite. It can recover deleted files and maintains a history of the file version in case the users want to recover old file versions. It can also back up all the photos as they are added.

For individuals and professionals, Dropbox offers the best packages for as low as $119.88/year for 2TB storage space. Otherwise, you can also use a free account that gives you 2GB space with uploading speed 46 sec for 195MB. Besides, it integrates a variety of third-party apps to ease your work needs.

To give a better user experience, Dropbox has also upgraded its desktop client, which now advantages the users to create Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides besides keeping notes of to-do things. It has really helped the professionals to boost their productivity.

What would I do without Dropbox? I can easily share files and information with anyone I want at the click of the mouse. If I want my blog subscribers to download an ebook, I can set public sharing on for the PDF. I can also create Dropbox Paper and invite my team members to work on it for easy collaboration. The easy sync feature that Dropbox offers makes file sharing an absolute delight for me.

Dropbox is hands down the best file-sharing software. It lets you store documents in the cloud which you can share with contributors and stakeholders.

While this is nothing special, it allows you to collaborate on files while they are in the cloud. You can edit the files in the cloud, regardless if they are a word document or spreadsheet. It also lets you collaborate with others on that same folder, so that you can see the changes they are making.

Finally, dropbox has an awesome versioning feature so that you can look at changes made to documents and roll back changes you don’t like. Dropbox keeps all versions of a document so that you don’t have to worry about unsaved changes or worrying too much about what changes an intern might make.

However, Dropbox can be a bit of an overkill if you don’t need a lot of collaboration or you are a very small business. If you’re an individual or you just have a few others looking at the documents, Google One Drive is a great alternative. It doesn’t contain versioning for all file types like Dropbox does, but you can work on most documents in the cloud. It’s also free to store up to 10 GB of data so you don’t have to worry about any expenses you could incur until you reach a sizable amount of files.

As a software engineer consultant I have tried many file-sharing tools and software, but I truly believe the 2 that I mentioned are the best. Dropbox for those who require more cooperation or sharing the files with more people, and Google One Drive for individuals or small teams trying to cut down on expenses.
