Google [Backup and Sync] is great if you want a nice free solution to sharing files where multiple people need to be in them at the same time. Everyone needs a free google account and they can have access and share file easily. If you need something that integrates well with the windows file explorer or a mac computer though, this solution isn't the best one out there because it works best through the web interface.

Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.

Since the [Google Backup and Sync] works with google/gmail accounts, and most people have a google account already it made it an easy solution to setup and link with most users. The other solutions would have required setting up new accounts for most employees to get them started, so it saved us that hassle.
