One thing I have seen and like is the constantly increasing library of integrations that they offer. We now have integrated with Teams to provide instant notification of a failure or a new file has been put in the folder. I like that it is also hardware/OS agnostic, they provide functionality on Windows, Mac, Mobile, and even have a CLI option for scripting. While looking through the site just now I see that they now offer a custom SMTP server so we can customize our from address.
Easy to deploy and get new users setup. Quick leaving curve for end users who have never used it before. Does what it's supposed to.
1. Quickly resolve file access issues using built-in audit logs and activity tracking. 2. Used separate sites to isolate environments for different business units. 3. Reduced dependency on manual file sharing tools by centralizing everything in one platform. 4. Managed access for different departments by setting role based permission per site. 5. We use Service accounts for integrations and normal user accounts for employees to ensure secure, role-based access to files.com
In our day to day use I really don't have anything to complain about.
Customer support can be a bit slow and for the cost I think it's a bit much for what we need it for.
1. During bulk user onboarding via excel upload, the 2FA column is not included, so additional manual steps are required to enable 2FA for each user individually making the process slightly time consuming. 2. Reporting and audit views can be more detailed for faster security reviews. 3. Bulk updates for permissions, groups, or paths are not always fully centralized.
