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.

Fantastic for small businesses; the customer feedback has been great

From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software. I can't speak to how Egnyte Connect would operate in a midsize company or even a large Fortune 500 company, but, from our perspective as a small business, it is fantastic. For us, security was front and center. Usability was also important and took second place. Next, we asked "Is it simple and easy for anyone to quickly learn how to use it?" Egnyte Connect checked that box. Third place for us was price. We liked the fact that they charge on a monthly basis so there is not an annualized upfront fee that we pay.

Have faced some confusion with the interface but have managed collaboration and document sharing efficiently

We currently use Notion for project management and CRM, which includes document capabilities and task management features. We have a self-hosted solution and utilize Google Drive Enterprise for everyday tasks. We are customers of Google and integrate Google Drive Enterprise with third-party applications. The compliance requirements are met through the platform's features. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Google Drive Enterprise an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."

"This is a good solution, it's one of the strongest along with the Google Cloud Platform for sharing files and data with team members so obviously I recommend Dropbox for all users for flexibility."

"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."

"I like the ability to share with others who have Dropbox accounts and the fact that it's accessible from anywhere."

"What I like most about Dropbox is that it's very, very easy to use; it's also easy to share files through it."

"It offers convenience. It can connect with all devices that you own."

"For our purposes, we've been very happy with its overall capabilities."

"I'm very happy with the performance; it's stable and reliable, there aren't bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."

More Dropbox Business - Enterprise pros

"From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software."

"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files, as all files are secure and available, and any authorized person can access and download the files from anywhere with an internet connection."

"It is scalable and stable."

"You can really do a lot of cool things with it in terms of being able to co-author and share documents with users that are not in your organization."

"If you're looking for a solid cloud DFS solution, I would highly recommend Egnyte."

"It provides a way to granularly choose which folders from the internet you want to sync to your computer, and it is really useful for people who are working on teams that are working with files that are frequently changing."

"From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software. I can't speak to how Egnyte Connect would operate in a midsize company or even a large Fortune 500 company, but, from our perspective as a small business, it is fantastic."

"It is a good storage solution."

More Egnyte pros

"The solution secures the data well."

"Because it combines multiple functionalities and features in one place, Google Drive was my go-to storage system."

"Google Drive Enterprise excels in collaboration efficiency, making it easy for teams to work together."

"There's no real implementation necessary."

"Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology."

"Personally, I believe it is a great solution for businesses, but it all depends on how many people you have working for you and what your main goal is."

"The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good. It's very useful and critical for us to communicate with each other nowadays. They integrate well with other Google solutions, such as Google Documents and Google Spreadsheet."

"I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices; it allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time, and I also like the versioning features."

More Google Drive Enterprise pros

Cons

"It could be more secure."

"Security could be enhanced."

"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."

"I would like to see integration with Office products, it would be very helpful."

"It's an expensive solution."

"The problem with the storage is that you are only able to synchronize the information within the amount of storage that you have."

"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."

"We are moving to Microsoft Teams. Instead of Dropbox, we will be using Microsoft Teams that has the advantage of saving the versions. It supports file versioning so that you can always go back to the previous version if you want to. If somebody has made a change in one of the files and you don't know what changes have been made, you can always go back to the previous version. This feature led us to migrate to Microsoft Teams. With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work. This feature is there in Google Files. In Microsoft Teams, you can invite team members to collaborate. That is the reason why I prefer Microsoft Teams over Dropbox. It should also have more integration with other solutions."

More Dropbox Business - Enterprise cons

"I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect."

"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."

"If this solution had a better ability to search, that would be helpful. In addition, if there was an ability to collaborate, that would also be a benefit."

"If this solution had a better ability to search, that would be helpful. In addition, if there was an ability to collaborate, that would also be a benefit. At present, the vision control is had because if someone gets out of it, it locks. And, whoever saves last overrides everyone's work."

"It would be nice to see an integration of using an active directory to validate and authenticate users on our end as well as on the client user's end."

"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."

"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."

More Egnyte cons

"I would like better security because I use Google Drive to store some personal documents, It would be nice if I could password protect some files."

"The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files."

"A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with."

"Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."

"I would like to see the price reduced in the next release."

"Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users."

"There are still many restrictions on what the solution can do on the GenAI front, and much work needs to be done there."

"The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the pricing is comparable, especially for users of Microsoft Office 365, the value proposition might not be as competitive for those seeking primarily storage options."

"It has some free features, but for some of the features, you need to pay. If you need more storage, then you need to pay. Its licensing probably is on a monthly basis."

"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."

"Dropbox is one of the cheapest tools in the market."

"We pay for the license yearly."

"I am using the free version of the solution."

"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."

"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."

More Dropbox Business - Enterprise pricing and cost advice

"I do not have experience with the pricing of this solution."

"As far as I understand, licenses are associated with the Egnyte platform. There aren't any licenses associated with Egnyte Connect."

"I am using the free version."

"The price of Google Drive Enterprise is affordable and is one of its best features. I am on a monthly subscription."

"In the free subscription, Google Drive Enterprise provides limited integrations. You get basic integration features, but for more extensive API usage, a paid subscription is required. Even with the paid subscription, there are limits on free API usage, such as a certain number of calls per day or month."

"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."

"I rate the price of Google Drive Enterprise a four out of five compared to other competitors."

"The program is very affordable."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
