In general, the market has many storage alternatives but when you're working with Azure cloud, MyWorkDrive especially shines brighter than the competition. It goes hand in hand with the native Azure technology and communicating changes between both platforms is a breeze. In case of disaster, the last saved copy automatically gets restored to the server that was mentioned in the configuration.

The SMA is pretty suited to controlling and protecting users and their remote access. We've caught spoofers before due to Geo-location services. These spoofers were attempting to get into the environment by trying to get a user to send the MFA prompt to them when the user themselves were not trying to connect at the time.

As with all file sharing, remote teams - the combination of being able to work alongside colleagues - or remotely (including "on a plane" / without Internet) - but always have your files saved locally makes it very easy to adopt.

  • It’s a subtle but important difference in how it works because we have to manage the process a little bit more but it also means also SugarSync can possibly fit better into
  • your productivity work style, especially if you’ve got a really good system of file
  • management, stuff that you already use whereas in Dropbox, if you have a file system, management system you already use and you want to share those files, you have to move them into Dropbox which might break your system
  • SugarSync requires just a little bit more forethought.

SugarSync has solid security. It uses AES 256-cycle to scramble your records extremely still and the TLS show to get them coming. I can open the actual document and I can work on it, save it, and now it’s the same on my notebook as it is in the sync in the Cloud and here on my desktop. So it works very simply and effectively from that perspective. Before I finish though, I do want to show you mobile access because mobile access is increasingly important for all of these different services that we’re talking about. For SugarSync, having access to our iPhone, iPad, or our Android device is also crucial. So here we see my iPhone is up and I’m going to go into my Productivity tab here
