We performed a comparison between Dropbox and Egnyte based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download."
"One of the most useful features of Dropbox is its ease of use."
"The product's most valuable feature is storage."
"I like how user-friendly the solution is."
"The most valuable feature of Dropbox is its user-friendliness. You can drag and drop files you want to store easily. Additionally, the speed of the solution is great if you have a fast connection."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Reliability is the most valuable feature."
"I don't need to carry my laptop while traveling. I just synchronize whatever I've been doing to Dropbox. After the document is synchronized, I can leave my laptop and use Dropbox wherever I am. I can also easily share a document with my colleagues, no matter how big it is. I can allow them to edit, and the editing will be instant. I can see whatever changes they've made to the document. It doesn't delete a document automatically. If I make a mistake and delete a file, it doesn't automatically delete the file. It gives you the warning to say you're deleting a file. In terms of security, I haven't had any challenges with Dropbox where they tell you that your data is compromised."
"It provides a way to granularly choose which folders from the internet you want to sync to your computer. It is really useful for people who are working on teams that are working with files that are frequently changing. You can go in and pretty clearly see what changes have been made. It gives you a constant feed."
"It is scalable and stable."
"From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software. I can't speak to how Egnyte Connect would operate in a midsize company or even a large Fortune 500 company, but, from our perspective as a small business, it is fantastic."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"It is a good storage solution."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"You can really do a lot of cool things with it in terms of being able to co-author and share documents with users that are not in your organization."
"Dropbox could be improved by reducing the storage price."
"I cannot edit a document at the same time as another user."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The product could always offer more storage."
"If someone manages a large amount of data, they will need more storage, which they must purchase."
"DropBox is a little more complicated to scale up than OneDrive. It isn't as seamless to scale up storage or change the number of users. We have two or three users in Mumbai, and we don't plan to add more."
"Improve the ease of use. Sometimes, occasional users struggle to login again and access documents."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"It would be nice to see an integration of using an active directory to validate and authenticate users on our end as well as on the client user's end."
"If this solution had a better ability to search, that would be helpful. In addition, if there was an ability to collaborate, that would also be a benefit. At present, the vision control is had because if someone gets out of it, it locks. And, whoever saves last overrides everyone's work."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"The issue of my authorization token expiring pretty quickly was pretty annoying. On pretty much every update, it would expire on every computer. On every computer update, at the first opportunity, it would expire. When my computer got updated or the authorization got cut, my saved drives would get messed up. So, I had to reconnect them all. I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect. It would be a big improvement if there was a cached system so that when it loses connection, it can still save what kind of connections were set up, and when it reconnects, it repopulates all those. I don't know if that's even possible, but that's the feature I'd want."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."

Thanks for that,
I've looked at Box but it doesn't have auto file locking nor hybrid functionality.
With Sharefile the Enterprise version looks to be way out of our remit, its only for 7 users!
And I don't understand Sharefile's data allowances, they are woefully under provisioned. I think they're missing a 0 at the end :)
I work at Citrix ShareFile and our Enterprise edition offers hybrid storage and sync. You can learn more at www.sharefile.com or I'd be happy to put you in touch with one of our specialists
Hia, I have been using Box.com on large scale. Think this will satisfy the above, it has certain limitations specially on the way top level shares are organize. Happy to give you more details. See this link for more info from the vendor.
