Cloud Storage

Crazysah · Jul 12, 2012

Hello guys,

What's the best and cheapest cloud storage service for a small company of about 20 employes?

The ones I've found so far are:

1. JustCloud

2. Dropbox

3. ADrive

4. ZipCloud

5. Box.net

6. LiveDrive

7. Google Drive

8. Microsoft SkyDrive

I've heard Google Drive is pretty cheap but they charge you extra for some licenses?

What's the cheapest for these. We only need around 500GB and access for around 15-20 people.

Thanks,

Crazysah

SkyDrive is cheaper then Google Drive. For collaborative stuff, box is good option

Yes but how much does it cost for 15-20 users acess and around 200GB-500GB?

Skydrive has 3 plans
US$ 10 / year -> Adds 20 GB to free storage amount
US$ 25 / year -> Adds 50 GB to free storage amount
US$ 50 / year -> Adds 100 GB to free storage amount

^ To add to that, Skydrive has Indian pricing, so $50 translates to 2600 INR per year, cheaper than the dollar conversion rate

How important is speed ?

Dropbox is very fast compared to Skydrive.

Interesting, where can the Indian pricing be seen?

Indian pricing is the default option that shows for me when I go to skydrive.live.com and select the Manage Storage option on the left

I like this option the best but I only have one problem, can 15-20 people access the same folders and upload/download from them? Just like in DropBox?
