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.

It is cheap enough and handles the very basic functionality we need from it fairly well. Since we can pay based on a per-user license and invite guests to lockers, it is far and away the cheapest option for End to End Encrypted file transfers from employees to HR/Management

Pros
Discontinued Products
  • 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
Discontinued Products
  • 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.

  • Some of the features are 'coming soon'
  • Different learning curve for our use case (vs SecNAS or SFTP)
  • Confusing Master Password/Recovery Key/Access Key Scheme.

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

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

Cheap and able to scale based on number of users needed at a given time. Not locked into a fixed user contract. Most other services also don't actually have zero trust zero knowledge end to end encryption, or it requires stepping up to a more expensive enterprise version. Purpose built for our basic needs

Return on Investment
Discontinued Products
  • 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.

  • We cancelled DocuSign largely because of NordLocker which has saved us thousands.
  • We also no longer host an AWS GovCloud instance which is not as expensive but also requires VPN traffic and licensing.
