Currently, there are several options for sharing files that apply different methods. Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Hightail, formerly YouSendIt. Are among the services that allow you to easily share large files. As well as store them in the cloud, synchronize them on multiple devices and collaborate with colleagues and customers. But there are many others, ranging from basic services for consumers (Amazon Drive) to business-level services (Tresorit) aware of security.
It is almost impossible to talk about Box without mentioning Dropbox (and vice versa), since the two face each other frequently. Box has always been business and business oriented. While Dropbox focused primarily on consumers and small and medium businesses. But in the past year, both services have improved their game, and accelerated business collaboration and content management in the cloud through integrations with G Suite and other services.
However, OneDrive integrates very well with Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft mobile applications. It offers real-time collaboration in Office documents. A free plan provides 5GB of storage – more than Dropbox, but considerably less than Google Drive. Office 365 Personal subscribers get 1TB of OneDrive storage included, a good extra. While Office 365 Home subscribers get 6TB of storage, a healthy boost from the 1TB that this plan used to offer. Recently, OneDrive began offering ransomware detection and recovery in paid plans.
Finally, thanks to advances in technology, the options are many and increasingly available to everyone. The storage and the way of sharing data has changed definitively, allowing the reduction of the hardwares at the time of carrying out our activities.
