How do you choose a file sharing service for a business?

There are a lot of file sync and share solutions on the market, so it is important to evaluate the solution that’s right for a business environment. Key criteria include: Security — Does it provide the industry’s strongest security? Does it support multi-factor authentication (MFA)? Does it enable in-transit and on-device encryption, access control for files, or policy controls for users, apps and data? Efficiency — Does it enable users to work on files using popular mobile devices? What about Macs and PCs? Does it allow users to annotate and edit documents on the go? Can they share and request content safely with external users? Simplicity — Can you start using it quickly and have the same agent for backup, cybersecurity, endpoint protection management and file sync and share?
