Pros

“I keep all my templates and commonly used documents stored in Dropbox. When needed, I can simply open a saved file, edit it quickly, and print it without wasting time searching or recreating documents from scratch.”

“It has reduced the hassle of sending large files through email and improved coordination within the team. While pricing can feel a bit high for advanced plans, the convenience and reliability make it a useful tool for daily business operations.”

Akash E.

Operation Manager

“I often search and save exercise sheets whenever I find good resources, and I organize them in Dropbox. Since I don’t use paid exercise apps, I rely on printed exercise sheets for my patients.”

Pros

“it's a super easy cloud based SFTP server, built on buckets that are also accessible programatically, and webhook integration to aid in automation.”
EK

Eric K.

Vice President, Engineering

“My favorite feature with SFTP To Go was it's accessibility across multiple platforms. Whether it was accessing the server on a new/temporary computer or integrating with a trusted desktop client (which is my preference).”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Colin W.

Tax Preparer, Owner

“I love the webhooks feature, and the ability to provision access credentials for specific subdirectories.”
DK

David K.

Director of Technology

Cons

“Storage fills up faster than you’d expect, especially once you start syncing bigger files or a bunch of projects at once, so I’ve had to be more careful about what actually needs to live in there versus what I can keep somewhere else.”
DS

Daniel S.

Manager

“Every once in a while sync will lag behind on a file that’s actively being edited by more than one person, which gets annoying when you’re trying to work off the latest version and it’s not quite caught up.”
DS

Daniel S.

Manager

“I wish that it had a larger storage capacity under the free version because it fills up quickly and then makes it difficult to use.”
SE

Samantha E.

Owner Operator

Cons

“We utilize the SFTP for pharmaceutical claims, and I grab the new document each week, but there is not way to sort newest document to oldest or anything like that, which makes finding each document a little trickier.”
IC

Isaac C.

Enterprise Business Analyst

“You can't send a web portal link to schools to transfer their data unless you pay for the higher tier.”
AC

Ashlynn C.

Director of Software and Production

“For smaller teams with limited storage and transfer needs, the pricing can be manageable, but it becomes more difficult to justify as storage, users, or data transfer requirements increase.”
