The product has a streamlined user interface and desktop sync capability that makes it ideal for individual users.

Businesses increase the risk of data leaks and regulatory compliance violations when employees select their own consumer-grade rogue cloud solutions. Consumer services do not support key features required by enterprises, including sophisticated permission management, synchronization of shared storage devices, and robust centralized administration capabilities.
While individual users can easily share and access their files with such tools, security and centralized control is often compromised in the process. Most cloud services such as Dropbox were developed for consumers, not for businesses.
1 The Challenge to Regain Control Corporate IT faces the challenge of embracing this revolution, while taking back control of sensitive corporate data. A recent Forrester study found that 41% of US information workers are using one or more personal cloud services at work rather than IT s offerings. Employees are bringing tools they use at home into the workplace to stay productive when they are on the go. But the tables are turning on IT departments. Employees used tools that were approved by IT in-spite of them being cumbersome or restrictive at times.

Mobile devices enable productivity on the go, yet require applications that support file access and sharing.
