How does your business securely share, sync and collaborate with external partners
How does your business securely share, sync and collaborate with external partners?
We need to evaluate a few vendors and I know of Dropbox, OneDrive and GoogleDrive, but are these the best?
I am looking for version control, file size maximum and most importantly security. I would like to see what other companies
are using and pros/cons of in their opinion so we can start reviewing.

I do not have a strong preference. We have been using DropBox for about a year now and we are happy with it. This is for a client as I am a business consultant to them.
> how longha you used Cubby
Been using Cubby for more than three years (started in Q2 2013). I use it to distribute my software, including object code and manuals. I also use it to collaborate with customers in a variety of ways. It is especially helpful to share large files that exceed the size limit on many email systems (and, of course, many email systems block EXE files, so it is crucial to my business for that).
> is approved for use at your company?
Yes, but that doesn't mean much, because my company is me. :) I run a one-person LLC.

o Relatively low cost for a reasonable amount of storage. The Basic edition is free for 5GB; the Pro edition is $3.99/month for 100GB. But keep in mind that's for a single user, which works for me. You may need the Enterprise edition — pricing is here:

o Security at both the folder and file level. Only my customers who are licensed for the software should be able to access it.
o High availability/uptime (it has been excellent).
o International access. I have customers all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand, many countries in Europe, and cities throughout the US, including East coast, West coast, and Hawaii. Worldwide access is critical.
o Easy syncing/uploading on my end with a locally installed app, but no requirement for an app on my customer's end, i.e., just a web browser to download.
o Unlimited (or, at least, extensive) versioning.
o EXE files and large files. The edition I use has a 2GB file size limit, which is more than adequate for my purposes. The Enterprise edition may allow larger files, although it sounds as if you want to go in the other direction. :)
