(1-24 of 24)Amazon Drive for Business Needs
- Less cost compare to others
- More secure then others
- Future ready as they use latest tech stack
Cheapest cloud solution for tons of data
- Positive - has done exactly what we need it to do: back up massive amounts of files with relatively easy retrieval.
Another place to store things!
- Helped free HDD space
- Added backup for files
Unless you're a Prime User... look elsewhere.
- Again, if using Prime, this can save money.
- The web UI to the service is difficult to use and doesn't stand out from the competition.
Click and Forget Cloud Storage
- We have greater peace of mind from having this cloud service.
- We have saved a couple of hours per year by having an automatic upload option.
- We've been able to reduce the time to market for new products because of collaboration ease.
- Finding files for meetings has become much easier.
Amazon Cloud Drive Review
- Being free, everything ACD gives is profit. In this service, I have saved files for years and I find the storage very complete and secure. I think it is possible to earn even more if other services are included in the cloud, such as Microsoft Office 360 does it with OneDrive.
- It's saved us so many times when we need to see the latest version of something. This helps us show and exhibit our best work so our clients feel confident working with us.
- Everyone has an Amazon account, so its an easy set up. This ensures that everyone has access to the necessary files for presentations.
- Overall, Amazon has a such a positive reputation and people feel confident using their services- clients included.
Amazon Drive Cloud: is this program a good competitor?
- It is a program that helps us complement our lack of space to store information.
- It helps us save and thanks to this program we do not have to pay for a larger amount of storage.
A quick cloud
- It allows you to take all the documents with you and also access them from other places.
- Allows me to save time from the fact that several people can use and manipulate the same file at the same time.
One of the best cloud drives on the internet
- Increased work operation efficiency
- Short learning curve, easily integrated
- Very secure with access controls
Amazon, overall not bad.
- Positive- allows us to save money on hardware maintenance, as local storage is very expensive (NAS/SAN, etc) Allows us to maintain a good availability of data.
Easy to use cloud system with few bells and whistles
- Internal document management has become much smoother
- More secure than internal storage solutions
Cloud Drive - Another safety blanket for files
- It's another place to store the documentation, we are using this as safety blanket. Even though it has [not] returned any monetary benefit, it gives us a good night sleep as all our important documents are safe in cloud.
A Review of Amazon Cloud Services
- 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.
- There are other options present that can provide cheaper plans for the same services.
- The number of features that are present is less when compared to its competitors.
- When being used in an office environment, there is a need for collaboration. Amazon Cloud drive has limited options for collaborating.
Recommended! Well organized.
- Amazon likes to provide you with one year free unlimited cloud drive in some occasions. There is not much impact on my business but provides me with fast and easy accessibility to the files from anywhere I want.
Amazon Cloud Drive
- Have to pay for prime member for unlimited storage (negative impact)
- Don't have to worry about storage space at all.
- Allows me to sort and organize my music files easily
Amazon Cloud Drive: How it stacks to Google Drive
- It's had a positive impact in terms of being quick and easy whenever I want to store/access files.
- It also was super useful to be able to use this on my phone. I'm able to access presentations on the go which helps me prepare for meetings.
Amazon Driving the business to success
- We have no ROI numbers that have been reported, we have expected 100% uptime which so far we are satisfied with, so nothing about ACD has hampered our ability to function.
A short review on AWS
- Since it was for a class, there was only learning and no such thing as a good or bad outcome on the overall business.
- I would say that we used as good a cloud service as possible to accomplish our goals.
- Maybe the best impact I can state is that we never really had any major issues.
Great for general usage.
- It has increased visibility from technical teams to non-technical teams
Amazon Cloud Is The Space You Need For All Those Photos And Videos You Have All Over The Place
- Makes it easy to backup our photos, especially on our phones so they can be cleared out to make more space available.
- Creates a central location for all of our photos and video files.
- Amazon Cloud Drive has easily improved my personal efficiency as a digital content manager by more than 20%. The speed at which the service can upload and sync data for use on other devices is critical for my busy role.
- Our business' reputation for safely and securely maintaining our clients' privacy is definitely improved with Amazon Cloud Drive as a primary tool for keeping our and their information safe.
- It has saved us hundreds of dollars each year. Compared to other, similar services, the cost of the unlimited tier for Amazon Cloud Drive is far more affordable, which in turn improves our bottom line.
