In today’s digital age, accessing essential files and data from anywhere and from any device is vital. Not only is it convenient, but the information is at your fingertips when you need it most. Cloud solutions allow you to back up and access data from multiple devices, which makes it great for small businesses. In this article, we’ll compare top cloud solutions to use in a small business, plus go over a few others.

Amazon Web

Amazon Web is a comprehensive cloud platform offering over 200 fully featured services that help small businesses innovate faster with lower costs. It has various databases to choose from and offers features and services for everything from machine learning, to analytics and IoT. One of the storage solutions that Amazon Web offers is 5GB of standard storage and creating a bucket to store that data, giving you management options and access to advanced analytics.

DropBox

DropBox is a popular cloud service among small businesses, allowing people within the business to store and share those files when collaborating on projects. It’s an intuitive solution that is easy to use and secure, which means you don’t have to worry about your information falling into the hands of those outside your small business.

Microsoft OneDrive

Microsoft OneDrive is an intelligent files app that allows you to share and collaborate from anywhere you are. You can upload files up to 100GB, sync libraries, and sync reports, and the admin capabilities allow you to migrate easily. OneDrive’s file detail pane lets you see your file activity and comments in one place, which allows you to navigate easily.

Google Workspace

Google Workspace offers flexible storage options with centralized administration and data loss prevention. Google Drive uses AI to help predict what’s important to you as the AI recognizes important content and collaborators. If files require attention, it uses features such as Quick Access and ML-based search enhancements to connect users. Drive also uses less disk space on your computer, so there’s less waiting time when syncing files.
