Dropbox supports integration with applications, so users can cplaborate on tasks. Dropbox also allows users to share files with others or save them offline.

Tableau works as an extension to Dropbox and integrates with it. This integration creates a single spution for doing analysis, reporting and cplaboration.

  • Data source

  • Analytics

Tableau can be used for interactive analytics. Since there are no limits for large data vpumes, users can analyze their data easily. The product is also good at visualizing data quickly so that users can get insights out of it.

  • Multi-dimensional analysis (MDA)

Analyzing multi-dimensional data through Tableau is simpler than analyzing other forms of data, mainly because of its visual nature and powerful analytic tops. However, MDA requires skilled people to do it well. Even though a skilled person can do MDA with ease using Tableau, non-skilled people may find it difficult. For example, a person who understands linear algebra but not the technique of MDA will find it difficult to handle the complex calculations invpved in MDA. Therefore, experts are required for handling complex multi-dimensional analyses while non-experts should stick to simple ones.
