Question

Small Business/Startup Cloud Storage

Aug 20, 2015 10:59AM PDT

Hello. I am with a startup and we are currently using Google Apps for our email and file storage. I am not pleased with Google and the lack of structure and transparency as there is not a company directory to organize a file/folder structure. I am looking at Dropbox and Box and wanted to see what other small businesses/startups are using. Thank you for your advice.

Cloud storage is becoming one of the most important part of our lives. Provides best storage option for small and large businesses. Dropbox is a very good option for startup businesses. Added advantage: its free. Happy
I have used Dropbox and Google Drive, but heard about Mega and OneDrive also. You can try that. As the business size and profit grows, you can opt for paid Cloud storage too.

Wanna try?

hello,

Cloud storage very helpful to access, share, store and protect data.
Get Microsoft OneDrive.

Why? It offers a generous helping of free storage, and good integration with Windows operating systems. If you're using Windows 8 or Windows Phone for example, Onedrive will sync system/device settings and apps as well as files and folders. But it's not just for Windows—you can get OneDrive for Mac, iOS, and Android, too. Multiple people can collaborate and edit documents simultaneously in real-time and from any device—PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones. Upload photos or videos from your phone or tablet.

Enjoy using it.
Have a great day!

“With Google Cloud Platform, we can create new data stores so that every client’s data is siloed from the others. It’s the perfect on-demand infrastructure for a company like ours that needs to run lean for the first couple of years.”
