    Amazon Cloud Drive is a fantastic backup solution for storing your digital files on the web, but if you want to manage, tweak, organize or otherwise maintain those files after they have reached the cloud, the experience immediately begins to suffer. This is especially noted when major competitor products like Microsoft and Dropbox offer similar services at similar prices, but offer far better interfaces for file management.

    I am unlikely to recommend Axcient x360Sync because competing products have evolved more quickly over the last few years and are better in nearly all aspects. Axcient x360Sync works as expected, but without as many features as can be found elsewhere. One aspect of the product that is easier to use and more intuitive than other products is the secure file sharing feature. If that is your main use, then Axcient x360Sync may be the best choice.

    Pros

    Amazon Drive

    • Amazon Drive automatically detects photos and videos in specific folders (that you choose). It will add them to Drive without any action from me.
    • There is a desktop app where you can access all of your files (in addition to web-based access).

    Cons

    Amazon Drive

    • Less storage than Google Drive, Google offers 15GB of free space - vs. Amazon's 5GB.
    • Also, unlike with Google Drive, you can't back up your work with Amazon Drive ( I also use Google Drive, since I have a Gmail account).
    • A lot more expensive than Google Drive, which is 1.99/month...but they are more in line with Dropbox pricing.

    • Integration with OS and applications is lacking when compared to competing products.
    • On-demand file download is not as intuitive as other file sync products.
    • 2FA on logins has intermittent issues that cause it to not work.

    The system is very easy to use and it's use of apps for almost all devices and hardware makes it even easier to manage and store photos and documents. I highly recommend this as an easy to use solution for novices!

    Overall great software to use for file share, storage, and collaboration. Its security is great and the user management is spot on. The only thing that makes me dock it a point is that the device management as a subset of user management is kind of clunky. It hasn't been an issue yet, but it could compromise security in the future. Overall, would recommend

    Out of all the IT services companies we use, I would rate Axcient the best support company of the bunch.

    Alternatives Considered

    Amazon Drive

    Amazon Drive Cloud has the advantage of being backed by one of the companies that has had the highest growth in recent years: Amazon. That gives us security and has been the main reason for us to trust this product. We believe that the security systems of this company are good enough to be quiet while our files are stored on their servers

    Several years ago, we evaluated OnDrive and were more impressed with Axcient x360Sync, but that has changed recently. OneDrive is simply easier to use with intuitive integration into Windows and Microsoft Office apps as well easy on-demand file downloads. We still use Axcient x360Sync, but we are in the process of migrating to OneDrive.

    Return on Investment

    Amazon Drive

    • It slowed us down at first since we went from purely agile to document based then agile.
    • It is easy to use so even non-developers can access code snippets which they wouldn't know how to access on github.
    • It has a lot of features we don't have a use for in our business.
