Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing
I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere
I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."
"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"The most valuable feature of Dropbox is its user-friendliness."
"The most valuable features of Dropbox are it can be used as a repository of all the photographs and videos that you have on the cloud, and you do not need to worry about the hard disk crashing."
"I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"For me, the biggest thing is version history. I can easily go back and view older versions."
"Irrespective of the geographical location that you are present in, and even if you don't have any storage devices, you can access your data and files with the help of Dropbox."
"While DropBox's basic setup gives you 2GB to start with, they make it very easy to bump that up to as much as 18GB as a free user."
"It is easy to install, and it is stable and scalable."
 

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The product improvement could include better integration with other tools and more advanced file versioning features."
"With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work."
"The storage is not large enough."
"The solution could provide more capacity for free."
"Sometimes syncing takes longer than I expect especially with large folders or when my internet is unstable."
"If a file is shared with me and I've never opened it, it won't upload it to the local drive, which is very inconvenient if my internet connection goes out."
"The problem with the storage is that you are only able to synchronize the information within the amount of storage that you have. It doesn't matter if you are accessing from a team member who has more storage, the limitations are with your storage."
"Unsecure - Poor app support"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity."
"The pricing varies depending on the version, and the one we currently utilize is the business version."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"A basic version of Dropbox is available for free with a paid subscription from Microsoft."
"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"We use a yearly license. The pricing is not a bad price. I'd rate it about a five out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap."
"The solution is purchased on a subscription basis, and there are purchasing options. If you purchase annually there is a discount."
"The solution does not come with a licensing cost."
