File Sharing

What do you do when you have a long list of large files that your customer needs right away? They’re too large to attach to a single e-mail but you don’t want to send each one in an individual message either. This is where a storage service is exceedingly useful, especially scaled versions designed for business use. Simply load your files into a central storage location in the cloud and share them with colleagues or other companies by assigning recipients the appropriate access rights. This way you can share not only individual files, but entire folders and workspaces. Stored reliably in a central location, your files will always be available whenever you need them. Secure data backup can be performed in just a few clicks to upload and send information and (large) files and the recipient then simply downloads them. Flexible and reliable.

Different storage services vary not only by the maximum file size they accommodate, but also by the features they offer. Some allow you to set up separate password protection, for example, or make files available for a specific amount of time, or request notification whenever a file is accessed. When selecting your storage service, it’s important to verify the location of its servers and whether data is encrypted during transmission. Popular file sharing providers include Box, which offers Box Business, Box Enterprise and Box Elite, and Dropbox, which provides Business, Standard and Advanced plans. With Dropbox Advanced, you get unlimited storage, audit logs to track file operations, multiple administrator tiers and other team features. If you’re dealing with large files, you need to check the various maximum file sizes offered, measured in GB. We are here to help with any queries!
