Dropbox Alternatives

My company is looking into Dropbox for Business so we can sync all of our users' files to the cloud as well as move our primary file share to it. However, I wanted to see what else is offered by other companies. Can anyone suggest companies that provide the same services as Dropbox for Business?

There's OneDrive for business by m$, just as an example.

to piggyback on iammontoya's Idea,

If you have an old server or Workstation that you can spare, you could install FreeNAS and setup the OwnCLOUD plugin and setup your own cloud that way. Could be a fun project.

Presumably you don't want to do this on site in order to protect against fire and theft....

I use Sync Back Pro (2brightsparks.com). So long as the cloud machine has a proper server address, it should work fine. It work great on servers and workstations. I have been using it for about 7 years.

One of the things I look for if one plans to do batch backups (e.g. overnight) is the ability to send emails with the results.
I can see how to do that with some of them but I don't know about all that might be recommended.

I tried Google Drive yesterday and couldn't figure out how to know if the data was actually "in the cloud" yet or not.
