    Chose Dropbox
    Dropbox gives us more control over what we are trying to accomplish, and that is key. Egnyte wanted such a large outline of capital to get their system up, and then we would become married to just their system. I didn't like that because then we were at their mercy, and with …

    Dropbox is much more user-friendly than Egnyte and has more options than Google Drive. Also the sync through the Mac app works better on Dropbox.

    Chose Dropbox
    Egnyte was quite similar but desktop native, which made onboarding a bit easier and more natural for non-tech native folks and folks who are used to the typical file system structure. That said, Dropbox with the desktop functionality is a good hybrid between Egnyte and Google …

    Chose Dropbox
    Dropbox is a great low-cost, wholesale cloud DMS solution. That being said, its security features and search-ability are not as sophisticated as Datasite or Egnyte, which to be fair, are much more costly solutions. As compared to its peers in terms of cost, Dropbox is the …

    I think that in terms of familiarity with the platform and interface, Dropbox is probably top of mind. However, I do like Google Docs the most, since you are able to edit in real-time, and it makes note of the version changes. Sharepoint has this capability as well, however, I …

    Dropbox
    Dropbox is well suited for sending File Requests to clients to upload documents, and for me to send File Transfers to clients with documents for them to download. I can create separate files for each client, and also create files within files, which is very convenient and useful for my business purposes. In Dropbox I can also see all of the File Requests that I have sent and it shows me how many times they've accessed it and how many files they uploaded. I can also see all of the File Transfers that I have made and whether how many times the client has accessed it and how many documents were downloaded. It also sends me notifications if the clients haven't downloaded their files yet so I can remind them. Dropbox Sign has been very easy to use, and I have already stated what could be changed with it

    Egynte is best suited for companies that SharePoint is not the best fit for. This includes managers unfamiliar with SharePoint specifically, and those really looking for a replacement for a file server in the more traditional Windows sense. SharePoint has more or less done away with any management that resembles Active Directory or File Explorer. Egnyte's web portal is incredibly straightforward. I would say Egnyte is less suited for companies that have licensing access to SharePoint already and do not have a ton of files or granular sharing and security needs

    • I can share projects I need feedback on.
    • I can make projects available to editors so that they can do their work.
    • Dropbox is a place where I can store files that I can access from anywhere, even if I don't have my laptop with me at the time.
    • I have an old friend who is an acting professor in Tokyo. He loves the dialogue that I write in my novels. He converts chapters into scenework for his acting students. They get very excited when there's new material!

    • The main drawback of the system that it is lacking in managing the uploading of large or huge files, even though the large files can be easily downloadable but the upload takes a lot of time.
    • While uploading the system sometimes starts lagging and the file after sometimes needs to upload again.
    • Egnyte is lacking in syncing multiple platforms at the same time. It gives access to one platform at a time which somehow hinders the work while migrating a large amount of data.

    We found that usage of Egnyte in our supported clients, with sufficient bandwidth, provided all the features and stability we required. The billing setup was fair and the support provided was ample for end users and well as our in house admins. There was a concern about high usage clients but this was taken into account during the vetting process.

    Really easy to use the interface. The web browser is very intuitive and I have not had any notable issues with this. It's easy to work on documents as a team, and the only issues we have to tend to come with Apple apps and downloading large files to WebEdit. It's very similar to the filing systems that come on Apple and Windows devices so not a steep learning curve.

    Dropbox is really useful, you can access any file from anywhere and you can upload and even edit files online, but, sometimes it can be slow. Downloading, uploading, and syncing is a bit slow, it can take several minutes. Furthermore, the search engine for large amounts of data can be slow too and it is not powerful.

    Egnyte works very well across all platforms and as an add-on to other programs. Load time is close to nothing. Reports can be made in no time as well. All in all no performance issues. We can see that it depends on the local network connection. If you're running with fiber there won't be any issues.

    At the time when this was implemented (over 5 years ago and still in production), there were issues with syncing and reliability that Egnyte did not have, and have continued to impress with. Other providers have improved a lot and Egnyte is fairly costly, but switching costs would be high to move away from it to similar solutions.

    Return on Investment
    Dropbox
    • When it works (usually if a client already has Dropbox, so they don't get the solicitation to sign up), it works flawlessly.
    • I've had multiple clients not see the "continue with download only" at the bottom and email me to resend the media another way because they don't have a Dropbox account.

    • Allows us to easily communicate important data securely with other offices (not just sending via email)
    • It allows everyone in our office to be working on the same information at the same time
    • It meshes so well with salesforce that I can't really picture what our practice would look like if we didn't have the combination.
