"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"We are satisfied with the parameters of Google Cloud Storage."
"On the phone, I appreciate how seamless it is."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the cryptographic technology."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is its ease of use. It fits well with our business use."
"Dropbox could probably be improved around the integrated security, but those options are probably available. I don't have much of a view on improvements, based on the relatively few occasions that I use it."
"Considering the solution's shortcomings, I want the product to be more user-friendly and offer more storage capacity."
"There is room for improvement in Dropbox's security measures."
"I see that if you use a mobile device that does not allow you to properly configure the email part with Dropbox, then you cannot access it."
"We are moving to Microsoft Teams. Instead of Dropbox, we will be using Microsoft Teams that has the advantage of saving the versions. It supports file versioning so that you can always go back to the previous version if you want to. If somebody has made a change in one of the files and you don't know what changes have been made, you can always go back to the previous version. This feature led us to migrate to Microsoft Teams. With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work. This feature is there in Google Files. In Microsoft Teams, you can invite team members to collaborate. That is the reason why I prefer Microsoft Teams over Dropbox. It should also have more integration with other solutions."
"The mobile aspect of the solution needs improvement. For instance, if I want to use a file from Dropbox on my phone, I sometimes struggle to download images off of Dropbox. The solution lacks accessibility on different devices."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"The product must provide users with the ability to edit and modify documents."
"I would like to see this solution made faster, cheaper, and bigger."
"While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems."
"The solution should offer more free storage."
"It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage."
"User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users."
"I would prefer more support for alternative operating systems like DSD. The performance could be better because sometimes there are glitches. The price could be better."
"I would like more storage available."
"Google Cloud Storage could be improved by increasing the drive capacity."
