## And against it

- "Generic File Sharing & Email Attachments (Dropbox, Standard Google Drive, Outlook) ... Why to avoid: Sending board decks as email PDFs or via standard cloud folders creates major security compliance risks." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Board)
- "Many nonprofits use the team collaboration software tools they're most familiar with – Dropbox, Google Drive, Sharepoint, Microsoft 365, and others... they also lack some key, unique features boards need" (Muse Glimmer 30B, Board)
- "Do not rely on generic file storage solutions (like basic Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive) as your primary board management tool" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Board)
- "Dropbox/Google Drive – while encrypted, documents often get saved to personal desktops/devices outside the secure environment" (Kimi K2, Board)
