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.

A great solution for uploading files with good protection and security features
We use this solution to upload our files according to our activities for the project. All the files we create are uploaded or saved on Egnyte Connect to protect and securitize them Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files. All files are secure and available. If we are connected, we can…

Long-term data security and automatic saving features improve efficiency with smooth setup and deployment processes
Some of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are the ability to ensure automatic saving. I've been in IT for over thirty years and have seen plenty of times when people forgot to hit file save and lost data, and having this automatically saved constantly is a very nice feature set. The synchronization capabilities of Microsoft OneDrive for Business certainly support my work as it is handy if you're concerned about people writing data on their local PCs and the laptops getting stolen or crashing, to have it sync everything up to your Microsoft OneDrive for Business account so that you're not having to worry about backing up locally. You try to make sure that people are putting things in the right folder to ensure they'll get backed up. Before using Microsoft OneDrive for Business, we were actually storing things locally and had shared folders or home folders out on the network. They made the change to Microsoft OneDrive for Business because they wanted to put it out in the cloud and get better performance, automatic backups, and all the rest of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to access files and documents from any device, anywhere."
"For me, the biggest thing is version history. I can easily go back and view older versions."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I can use the cloud version for storage and easy retrieval."
"The security features of the product for data protection are good. I rate the security part a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"We haven't had any issues at all with the solution."
"It provides a way to granularly choose which folders from the internet you want to sync to your computer. It is really useful for people who are working on teams that are working with files that are frequently changing. You can go in and pretty clearly see what changes have been made. It gives you a constant feed."
"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."
"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."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"It is a good storage solution."
"It is scalable and stable."
"It helps you keep organized."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it is included in the standard Office 365 subscription at no additional cost, unlike other drives such as Google Drive."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"The best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are its continuous improvement in terms of cloud capabilities, security features, and user experience as it's enhancing every day compared to the past."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
 

Cons

"The only thing I have had trouble with is the ability to share files. The recipients of my requests have had difficulty accessing the files."
"File version control can be improved. It generates a lot of conflicts when people are working on the same file. Its integration with other solutions can be improved in terms of user experience. Integration is there, and it has connectors for Excel, Word, and other solutions, but it is not very friendly. There should be a better user experience."
"Dropbox can improve by enhancing the capacity of storage in the free version."
"I would like to be able to unarchive my files online."
"Dropbox could improve by increasing its storage."
"The solution lacks sufficient storage capabilities."
"I would like to see an option to secure my files and set password protection to my folders."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"The issue of my authorization token expiring pretty quickly was pretty annoying. On pretty much every update, it would expire on every computer. On every computer update, at the first opportunity, it would expire. When my computer got updated or the authorization got cut, my saved drives would get messed up. So, I had to reconnect them all. I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect. It would be a big improvement if there was a cached system so that when it loses connection, it can still save what kind of connections were set up, and when it reconnects, it repopulates all those. I don't know if that's even possible, but that's the feature I'd want."
"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."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."
"Dropbox offers a freemium model which is very convenient and affordable. Beyond that, the pricing is favorable."
"The subscription could be cheaper."
"There is a subscription-based pricing model and I pay monthly."
"I am on a monthly subscription for the solution and I am somewhat satisfied with the pricing. However, the price could a bit better."
"Its price is quite cheap. It is quite competitive. You just need to pay for the license. There are no additional costs."
"We are using the free version of Dropbox which has approximately two gigabytes of data capacity."
"The solution is expensive."
"As far as I understand, licenses are associated with the Egnyte platform. There aren't any licenses associated with Egnyte Connect."
"I do not have experience with the pricing of this solution."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
