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.

Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."
"It is very practical and so easy to upload and download files and carry on without my computer."
"I think Dropbox is a good option for Windows users because it's easy to use in Windows and a user can access all other products and software."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is user-friendly."
"We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content."
"Dropbox offers helpful functionalities for business purposes, such as receiving file requests from external parties like customers who don't have an account. Additionally, it includes features, such as reminders and workflow capabilities."
"As the solution is cloud-based, installation is easy."
"The performance is good."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"They should archive the data."
"DropBox is a little more complicated to scale up than OneDrive. It isn't as seamless to scale up storage or change the number of users. We have two or three users in Mumbai, and we don't plan to add more."
"Dropbox could improve by increasing its storage."
"Dropbox, like many file sharing tools, needs to synch to a local hard drive. That is a bit difficult with 5TB Dropbox content."
"The mobile aspect of the solution needs improvement. For instance, if I want to use a file from Dropbox on my phone, I sometimes struggle to download images off of Dropbox. The solution lacks accessibility on different devices."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"The scalability of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Dropbox needs to improve its integration with Google platforms, including Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides, which facilitate easier collaboration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"I am using the free solution, which provides me with 2GBs of storage, and for me, it's sufficient."
"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"We are using the free version of Dropbox which has approximately two gigabytes of data capacity."
"Users need to pay to increase the solution's capacity."
"I am on a monthly subscription for the solution and I am somewhat satisfied with the pricing. However, the price could a bit better."
"I believe I pay around $5 per month for the license."
"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."
