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

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The stability of the solution is very good; it's reliable, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and the performance has been good."
"Dropbox trumps both of these with its superior support and features."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Dropbox is easy to use; I installed it on my laptop and I just copy and paste my files into a folder, I can use the Microsoft Office package like Microsoft Office, Excel, or PowerPoint, I can edit my files easily and all of my coworkers can check them at the same time, and it's a really good option for me."
"I like the synchronization, and the integration with Microsoft Office is good."
"The performance has been good."
"I am using it for my personal use; I use it for storing data and sharing the data between different devices, for example, I store something on the mobile and then I open it on my MacBook, and I am also using Dropbox to share data with different people."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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."
"Now that the Egnyte vendor upgraded the version and they introduced the Egnyte Connect, there are a lot of features that they added, including co-authoring."
"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."
"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 centralizes the documentation in one area."
"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."
"can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility."
"The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise was simple."
"The program is very stable."
"Google Drive Enterprise excels in collaboration efficiency, making it easy for teams to work together."
"I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location."
"It is very easy to use. Everything is available on the cloud, which is what I like the most. So, when we require a document, we can download it at any time and in any of the formats."
"Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer."
"It is easy to access from an Android device and can handle things like cybersecurity restrictions on USB drives and file size, and I have been pretty happy with it."
 

Cons

"The storage is not large enough."
"The pricing could be better and so could the amount of storage space. I feel like for the price, they don't offer very much storage space, especially when compared to competitors like Google."
"I am on a monthly subscription for the solution and I am somewhat satisfied with the pricing. However, the price could a bit better."
"The cost for gain is just not lined up with other business offerings."
"It would be good if they could market themselves as a safe solution for corporates. Currently, most corporates don't see it as a safe area to share within."
"The solution could be better integrated with other platforms."
"While it can scale, there's too much difference between plans. We'd prefer it if it had a few other plan options that weren't so big in terms of differences."
"Dropbox could introduce some sort of a notification with respect to how much storage you have left out of what is purchased."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"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."
"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."
"I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"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."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."
"Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."
"It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small."
"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 is kind of expensive."
"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."
"It would be helpful if there was a synchronization option that would allow me to synchronize folders or emails with my online repository. That way, any new items added to the folder would automatically be uploaded to the solution, without me having to manually upload them."
"It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added."
"The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the unlicensed free version of Dropbox."
"I need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"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."
"A basic version of Dropbox is available for free with a paid subscription from Microsoft."
"Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available."
"I use the free version of the solution."
"The solution does not come with a licensing cost."

"The price could be better."
"Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good."
"I rate the price of Google Drive Enterprise a four out of five compared to other competitors."
"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."
