Not all cloud storage is equal.

As a content creator, producer-director, or anyone involved in the media industry, your files are everything to your business. How assets are stored, edited, and shared between collaborators dictates the pace and effectiveness of the creative workflow. Sadly, too many industry players are still stuck in the past, using Dropbox, downloading version-after-version of files, uploading & syncing those same version, dealing with corrupted assets, and the list goes on. This kind of “cloud storage” just doesn’t cut it.

We’ll admit that using Dropbox for recreational media sharing usually works great for most individuals. However, the platform quickly crumbles under the pressure of hybrid & team workloads, active projects that require a dispersed team to work synchronously & efficiently despite their distance.

In short, this is because Dropbox (or Box, Google Drive, etc.) are simple web applications that treat your data differently that Suite’s cloud storage does. Dropbox will let you preview files without downloading but it won’t let you get down to business—essentially, you can look but you can’t touch. This is detrimental to the creative process; here, we’ll explain everything…

Why Dropbox just doesn’t cut it:

• You have to download every version… of every file… every time…
• Then you have to upload / sync every version… of every file… every time…
• Storing & saving work must happen locally before sharing
• Dropbox throttles (only uses a fraction of your full network speed) uploads/downloads
• Plans can significantly limit usage crippling team efforts
• Downloads from Dropbox can (and will) fail for various reasons
• Good luck getting a timely reply from Dropbox Customer Support

Why Suite’s cloud storage gives teams the edge:

• No need to download or sync files… ever… again…
• Edit & save work in real-time without the data stored locally
• Never worry about running out of hard drive space
• Zero throttling - work at the speed of your creativity
• Zero transfer limits - migrate active media anytime your workflow requires
• Zero file size limits - Suite thrives on RAW media and heavy files
• One source of truth for every asset, updated instantly
• Easy on-boarding for additional team members & freelancers
• Pre-cache files on local hardware
• In-app one-click permissions enable folder access & security
• Simplified billing facilitates accurate budgeting & forecasting
• Built on the world’s largest and most secure cloud service providers
• Insanely fast Customer Service - Ready to help you in under two minutes

When you put the two cloud storage platforms side-by-side the difference immediately becomes clear. Suite is the ultimate Dropbox alternative; it’s the cloud-connected, centralized source of truth for all of your files that connects creators in real-time from anywhere with WiFi.

Stop wasting precious time trying to keep track of file versions via Dropbox, and stop downloading active media once-and-for-all. Simplify your hybrid or remote team workflow by choosing Suite’s cloud storage and you’ll understand why key media industry players are saying things like, “Suite streamlines my day-to-day in ways that I didn't think that it could. As a company, we are quantifiably faster on Suite. We are delivering shows earlier. That’s a huge deal.” Yeah, it is, and right you’re missing out…
