    EZ File Drop

    N/AN/AEZ File Drop is a file collection tool for teams that receive files from people outside their organization. Users build a branded upload form, share it as a link, QR code, or website embed, and every submission is delivered into the account owner's own cloud storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, or FTP/SFTP.

    Additional DetailsPrices shown are for monthly billing. Annual billing is available at two months free: Starter $120/year, Business $490/year, Premium $1,490/year. Plans differ mainly by monthly upload allowance (5 GB, 100 GB, or 1 TB) and by feature set. Starter is limited to one user and a 5 GB cap per submission. Business and Premium include up to 20 users with no per-seat fees, a 25 GB cap per submission, and features such as dynamic subfolders, file renaming, conditional logic, white-label branding, website embedding, and Zapier and webhook integrations. Premium adds 1 TB of monthly bandwidth, custom domains for share links and notification emails, and priority email support. Pricing is based on bandwidth used rather than storage or seats. Files are delivered into the customer's own cloud storage, so there is no separate storage charge. Every plan includes unlimited forms and all six cloud destinations. The 25 GB per-submission cap can be raised on request. Every account begins with a 7-day trial of the Business plan with no credit card required.

    Suralink
    SuraLink makes perfect sense for a CPA firm that works with a number of clients. It provides easy access, and well-presented display of each client and the corresponding files provided. The security of the files is also imperative for sensitive client information. The format of the portal also allows for ease of understanding which files coordinate to what requests. This is in contrast to a something like a "drop-box" in which it is simply a list of files. This may not be the proper product for a smaller operation that only seeks secure file transfers on a non-regular basis. Additionally, for the smaller organizations, the cost may be prohibitive for little to sparing use. In those situations, a more simple secure file transfer options may be more advantageous.

    Cons
    EZ File Drop

    Suralink
    • There seems to be a number of situation in which the site is down or experiencing difficulties. This makes it difficult to work with clients and obtain documentation.
    • When uploading a large volume of workpapers, there are occasions in which some or all of the files will not upload properly. This creates additional back and forth and frustration with the client for re-requests or follow-ups.
    • The email notification alerts could be stronger in how they are displayed and how the changes/updates are utilized.

    • Positive - Significantly reduced time searching for files that correspond to audit requests
    • Positive - Reduced time creating list(s) of open items or documents that remain needed from the client, as the portal serves as a "live" request list
    • Positive - Integration with EXCEL for PBC lists of items needed, which removes the need for a special format list to import correctly

    EZ File Drop Screenshots

    Screenshot of the customization options.Screenshot of EZ File Drop isn't a storage product. Every submission is delivered into the cloud account you've connected: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, or FTP/SFTP. You stay in control of where your files live, who can access them, and how long they're kept. EZ File Drop is a pipeline, not a destination.Screenshot of Every form ships with a standalone share link, an embed code, and a built-in QR code. On Premium, share links and notification emails can run on your own custom domain so EZ File Drop never appears in the customer-facing experience.Screenshot of Every form supports three notification groups: the uploader, your team, and third-party recipients. Use the default templates or write your own HTML. On Business and Premium you control the reply-to address and the full email design. On Premium, notifications can also send from an address on your own domain.Screenshot of Starter is a single-user plan. On Business and Premium you can add up to 20 users with no per-seat pricing. Two roles cover the common cases: Owners administer the account, and Members work on the forms they have access to. Granular per-form permissions let each team member see and edit only the forms relevant to their work. Private and shared forms are managed in separate workspaces.
