14 DAY TRIAL // With all the web-based activity and advancements lately, sending files to and from devices is easier every day, but people still want ways to make the process easy and automatic, like allowed by the Dropbox.
It so happens that the free Dropbox service is no longer the only Dropbox service people may opt for.
Now, Dropbox for Teams has appeared, which works on the same principle but has some features that business administrators will find useful.
Centralized billing, phone support and controls for adding and deleting users are some of them, while the encryption adds the level of security enterprises expect of all their files.
For people who want to know exactly what Dropbox does, it is a special program that can synch files between multiple PCs, and, in the case of Dropbox for Teams, phones as well, among other things.
As long as the program is installed on all desired devices, it uses the web connection to automatically sync the files, in addition to storing them all in the cloud.
Dropbox for Teams stores the encrypted files in the Amazon S3 cloud, not just user PCs, for double the backup reliance.
"People in over a million businesses around the world trust Dropbox for its simplicity and reliability," said Sujay Jaswa, vice president of business development and sales at Dropbox.
"Now, Dropbox for Teams will give businesses the control and freedom to rethink how they work."
Dropbox is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, BlackBerry OS, in other words pretty much every PC and operating system.
Five users can pool their resources and get Dropbox for Teams at a price of $795 a year, which is about the same as 568 Euro, give or take. The plan includes 1,000 GB of storage.
Other seats can be added to the contract, of course, though $125 (89 Euro) will be charged for each of them (200 GB of extra storage are provided for each extra seat).
