Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to install. It is stable and scalable."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The primary standout feature for me is the effortless synchronization across various devices."
"It is definitely stable. The main advantage of Dropbox is that you can see the files, and you can easily share them with all the team members. They can be accessed by whoever you give access to, and it is all secure. Dropbox is a seamless product. It provides you the privacy that you're looking for. Privacy is a major factor for my company, and Dropbox provides you that."
"I can use the cloud version for storage and easy retrieval."
"The performance has been good."
"The user interface is very user-friendly."
"A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft Office 365 for more collaboration. At the present time, it is more focused on its own internal systems."
"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could be better integrated with other platforms."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"The arrangement of documents can be simplified. Personally, I am used to it, but for a new user, it might be a little confusing. It can maybe have a feature to allow people to collaborate or work on the same document at the same time. I'm just using it to load and access information, and I haven't faced many challenges. However, I have seen that the whole system or laptop slows down a bit when I am synchronizing files to Dropbox. I don't know if it is because of my system. It might be good if they can enhance the synchronization process so that we can specify that synchronization should be done after 30 minutes. In addition, synchronization should only be done for the documents that have been uploaded."
"While generally user-friendly, there is room for improvement in the user interface, especially with the introduction of new integrations and features."
"I'd rate the scalability maybe a seven out of ten. Once I stop paying, it is an issue."
"I would like to see an option to secure my files and set password protection to my folders."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
