Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere
I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Availability of dedicated Apps on any kind of OS."
"The solution obviates the need to store any extra sets of files or to do so on my physical device, as I can use the cloud version for storage and easy retrieval."
"I am using it for my personal use; I use it for storing data and sharing the data between different devices, for example, I store something on the mobile and then I open it on my MacBook, and I am also using Dropbox to share data with different people."
"Dropbox is a good solution for data storage."
"Irrespective of the geographical location that you are present in, and even if you don't have any storage devices, you can access your data and files with the help of Dropbox."
"A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it."
"Dropbox allows me to organize files well. I can name files in such a way as to lead students to the right destination."
"The most valuable features of Dropbox are it can be used as a repository of all the photographs and videos that you have on the cloud, and you do not need to worry about the hard disk crashing."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
 

Cons

"Given the price and limitations, there are more competitive options available."
"With Dropbox, there is no option for simultaneous work."
"It could be more secure."
"The security and privacy of this solution need improvement. I am always worried about security and privacy."
"The problem with the storage is that you are only able to synchronize the information within the amount of storage that you have. It doesn't matter if you are accessing from a team member who has more storage, the limitations are with your storage."
"It is difficult to set up. I'd rate the solution maybe a six or seven out of ten."
"Currently, it permits up to five users, but for larger families, it would be beneficial to have a more flexible offering."
"I would like to have a document flow. S"
"The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has some free features, but for some of the features, you need to pay. If you need more storage, then you need to pay. Its licensing probably is on a monthly basis."
"Dropbox offers a freemium model which is very convenient and affordable. Beyond that, the pricing is favorable."
"Users need to pay to increase the solution's capacity."
"A bigger discount for existing users would be appreciated."
"The solution is purchased on a subscription basis, and there are purchasing options. If you purchase annually there is a discount."
"We must pay when we upsize to a larger space."
"I find their pricing to be fairly standard and competitive when compared to the rest of the market."
"The pricing for non-corporations is expensive. They have raised their prices and have low storage capacity."
