Shared Drive Alternative

[Michelle Casey]

Hello there, we have a company who hosts our shared drive...we are looking to change though. Can anyone offer any alternatives ? Thanks

What company are you using currently?
Why are you looking to change?
How much data storage do you need?

The main ones are Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive.

Most businesses are moving towards Google G-Suite or Microsoft Office 365 for their all-in-one productivity suite, email and cloud storage.

Take a look at NextCloud.

Dropbox is great - they were first and having tried the others, I think Dropbox is the best still.

DropBox - Free 2GB/User - £7.99/Mth 1TB/User
OneDrive Live - Free 5GB/User - Upgrade to Office 365 for more
Google Drive - Free 15GB/User - £1.59/Mth 100GB/User - £7.99/Mth 1TB/User
Office 365 E1 - £6/Mth - 1TB/User + a huge range of functionality
G-Suite - £6.60/Mth - Unlimited storage + a huge range functionality

I personally use Office 365 as it comes with a range of security functions that are unmatched + GDPR tracking built in

I recommend Synology for an on-premises solution (which I feel is better than cloud-based). They have a good product selector here:-

You can mix synology with then uploading to the cloud using their inbuilt tools

It sort of gives you a best of both worlds
