As with Dropbox you can add more free storage by automatically syncing your photos with the service and referring others to it. Is OneDrive enough?Ī free OneDrive account provides you with 15 GB of storage (13 GB more than Dropbox’s free account). This is the story of my search for a replacement. I took a gander at each one to compare not only the kind of storage offered for free, but the ease with which you can share files with others. Microsoft’sīox.com also offer free storage and file sharing features. Those were the things that struck me as being interesting.Thankfully, Dropbox, though popular, isn’t the only game in town. Depends on whether your business needs to transfer files that are that big. Good or bad, you decide.īusiness can transfer files of up to 100GB to non-Dropbox users whereas Family is limited to files of 2GB. In practice it can be annoying to hunt down the guy who has left the file open while you desperately need to edit that same file, but from a data integrity perspective it is crucial.īusiness lacks "Dropbox Vault" - I have no idea what that is despite reading the description and I have also never consciously used this feature before.įamily has "Family Room" which seems to be a shared folder kind of thing - probably useful if you don't want to share links but want to put everything in the same folder. This prevents two users from making changes simultaneously resulting in forking the file into two because they can no longer be reconciled. That means only one user can open and edit a file at any one time. This can really save your ass.Īnother important Business feature which database users will be familiar with is "File locking". Not really an issue if you are religiously backing up your data, but that is an ideal scenario and in the real world there is frequently no effectively usable backup.
One of the reasons I went with the paid plan versus the free was for this feature as your data can be gone in one fat fingered moment. What immediately struck me was 6 months vs 1 month of "File Recovery & Version History" - which means you are able to restore deleted or altered files.
