Also, those who use Dropbox for work are irritated by the fact that a computer can only be associated with one account, work or personal, and file syncing happens so frequently for business users, it can be a real annoyance.
Conversely, Dropbox has lots of experience in the market, with more than 100 million users, according to PandoDaily. If you are only using it for personal or business, you might find it a very useful tool.
And despite worries about the single encryption key Dropbox uses, there has not been a hack — yet. Still, if you’re wondering whether Dropbox is still the best bet, check out three lesser-known cloud storage options that may interest you.
CX
If you are working with a team of people on a project that requires cloud storage, CX is a great way to go, billing itself as, “The easy way to manage your team’s files online.” Files you upload to the cloud through CX are available through mobile apps as well as through the Web site, and account administrators can easily add more people to their business teams. Files are easily shareable and safe, thanks to bank-grade encryption during transfer and storage.Just Cloud
Just Cloud offers both archival and synchronized storage, which means that you can divide your files depending on whether they are destined for long-term storage (such as photos), or are active works-in-progress.
If the latter, you will be able to edit them from your computer and see automatic reflections in the cloud, so your files are always up-to-date. A Just Cloud review states there are multiple features including file sharing, automated backup, strong syncing and file versioning.
SurDoc
The main thing that SurDoc has going for it, and the platform upon which it has built its claim to uniqueness in the cloud storage industry, is its focus on privacy. Many companies, according to SurDoc, are unable to guarantee that your files will not be viewed by a company employee, or even a hacker.Some companies will let you set a private password, but then have no record of it if it gets lost, potentially leaving you out in the cold. With SureDoc's TruPrivacy encryption methods, the system uses the file itself as the encryption key to that file, so it never gets lost.
There is no password to remember, and you never need to fear someone else will view your files or, worse, make them public. SurDoc also allows the opening and editing of files directly in the cloud.
Despite the fact Dropbox built a name for itself when not much else was available and so still has a good grip on the cloud storage market, other options that may better serve your needs are constantly becoming available. Free cloud storage accounts from CX, Just Cloud and SurDoc allow you to determine your best choice.
