I can guarantee 9 out of 10 of our end customers and sucontractors never heard of Egnyte.īut if people that moved off Dropbox Businesss to Engyte say we will be much happier, then we may still consider doing so.ĭropbox Business will actually leverage a LAN sync process when possible, an FYI for folks who may not know. So I fear we are stuck with the Dropbox + Google Drive combo and will just have to live with the few shortcomings on Dropbox with the slow file moving/copying. Problem is, many of our subcontractors and clients like Dropbox. Seems Engyte is the only other one that really gets recommended. Was sort of considering Citrix Sharefile but saw all the bad reviews here. So we're kicking around the idea of dumping Dropbox for something that has faster more reliable file management functions for moving/copying large number of files totaling in the GBs. Geezus, aren't these systems based on Linux backends? The mv command is pretty damn fast! We've found though moving large numbers of large files around on Dropbox is nightmarish. So we use Dropbox as our primary and use CloudHQ to sync Dropbox one way to Google Drive so we always have a mirror of files on Google Drive and then can cater to the client if they prefer Google over Dropbox. BUT, of course Google's video file viewing is of course better for the clients that need to view the video files online since it's basically the YouTube engine.Īlso, you find that in some cases the end client has a big preference that you share through the service they already use so they can just move the files instead of having to download from our cloud and upload back to theirs. For listing/viewing/downloading, MUCH better. We also hated how a folder with hundreds of files it would only load the entire file list if you kept scrolling so if you did a CTRL-A select all it would only select the files loaded from the directory listing thus far. Trying to download a few hundred large image files is PAINFULLY slow because of the long wait to zip the files. We run our email on GSuite and we've been happy with Google. Our company's work products for our jobs are typically CAD file and hundreds of images files and our customers range from individual's to large corporations.
