Likelihood to Recommend 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.

MEGA is great for storing and syncing files across devices. It has a great web interface, as well as a sync tool for desktop and a mobile app that works very well on iPhone. (I have not used the
Android version of the app.) I like the overall usability, as well as some of the features like the QR code and contact list functionality. I like the file versioning and file management features as well. What works less well for me is collaboration with other users, and file sharing among users. I have not been able to find a way to view all files shared with me from other users in the same view as my own files. In fact, when files are shared with me, the only way I have been able to locate them is through Notifications, which is sub-par. I would much prefer to see all shared folders alongside my files, without having to make a copy of the shared folder, thus losing the ability to sync with another user's changes, as well as using up my storage space.
Read full review Pros 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). Read full review MEGA - The Privacy Company
Mega is very easy to use Mega has a solid referral program unlike others Mega is very secure Read full review Cons 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. Read full review MEGA - The Privacy Company
Sometimes the download rate drops by a lot, so the downloads take much longer. Read full review Usability 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!

Clean, contemporary UI that is heavily polished and works great. You can tell they did a lot of user testing with this, and have a top notch UI design team that really cares about the customer. A highly user-friendly service across platforms and form factors, I found their web, desktop and mobile apps to all be impeccably designed and consistent.

Support Rating 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

While I have never contacted customer support, there is a large user community that has posted solutions on third party websites to a number of common questions like how to share files, and how to access files that have been shared with you. When I received a 40 GB shared file, I was not able to find how to access it until I searched on Google to find a solution, which was easy to find. The large user community helps with support tremendously.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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

Mega is a must go to first when expanding cloud storage capabilities and security. Mega can store any file types beyond that of
Google Drive and iCloud. Mega is competitively priced to be a suitable option to replace or augment other cloud storage options depending on your business needs. Mega is a must download addition for cloud storage
Read full review Return on Investment 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.

You can create backups without needing to occupy the cloud you share with other workers. You can share large files quite quickly. Also, those who receive the link can access the file in just a few minutes. Read full review ScreenShots
