Pick Dropbucket if
- You already pay for storage, or want the cheapest storage you can find
- You want clients to see your brand and your domain, not someone else's
- Your team is more than one person and per-seat fees add up
- You send files bigger than other tools allow
- You'd rather pay once than every month
Dropbox Transfer may suit you better if
- Your team already lives in Dropbox and the transfers are under 100 GB.
