Should Dropbox be used as the main file system for a busy Litigation office? Help me prove that it shouldn’t and suggest a software that your firm uses.

Last I checked, Dropbox didn’t meet HIPAA guidelines …. So that’s one thing to consider.

Not true

You shouldn’t use drop box. At the same time it is just so easy and I never have had a recipient say they can’t access contents.

Yes, I agree that Dropbox is the easiest to use for just file sharing, but not for housing all of your client files. It’s extremely unorganized and inefficient.

As a main file system, I don't think I have ever heard of DropBox being used like that, other than document sharing with clients or other law firms. For document sharing we use ShareFile by Citrix. For our firm wide document management system we use iManage Work, which integrates with your emails to be able to save critical client/attorney communications as well. It is organized and user friendly for looking up any document firmwide.

We use Hightail, for what it’s worth. We don’t mind it.

What? That’s pretty ridiculous

We use Worlddox through procirrus.

There are many options in the legaltech marketplace. We use kiteworks which is popular with law firms.

Also - are there additional features you need like collaboration, calendaring, etc.

I’ve seen Titanfile

I've had the same experience as @Associate 3 - the firms I've worked with either use ShareFile or iManage's Share module, which provides fantastic integration with its Workspaces and is secure.

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

So is it just me or do people who have been doing ID for decades generally fall into one of two groups? The first group are cynical people who have been divorced, their kids hate them, etc. then the second group are BS artists who are skilled at avoiding both work and responsibility for anything?
