Their Pitch

Intelligent content management platform for secure, collaborative work.

Our Take

It's Google Drive for teams who need actual permission controls and version tracking. Built for people who've been burned by the chaos of "FinalReport_v2_REAL_USE_THIS.docx" floating around in email.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Three people editing the same contract and creating version chaos** → Real-time editing shows who's typing what, unlimited version history saves your sanity
  • +**Sending huge files through email and hitting attachment limits** → Share links with permission controls, set expiration dates for sensitive stuff
  • +**Sales team can't find customer contracts when prospects call** → CRM integration puts all customer files right in their contact record
  • +Desktop sync keeps files on your computer without eating storage space - access everything but download nothing
  • +Workflows automate the boring stuff like organizing files into the right folders when projects start

Best For

  • >Your team keeps emailing attachments back and forth like it's 2005
  • >You need to share files with clients but can't give them access to everything
  • >Already using Zoho CRM and tired of customer files scattered across 5 different places

Not For

  • -Solo freelancers or tiny teams under 5 people — you're paying for collaboration features you don't need
  • -Companies already deep in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 — the switching costs aren't worth it unless Zoho integration is critical
  • -Teams wanting the cheapest option — this costs more than basic Google Drive or Dropbox

Pairs With

  • *Zoho CRM (where customer files actually live instead of scattered across email attachments)
  • *Zoho Projects (creates project folders automatically so files don't end up in random places)
  • *Microsoft Outlook (save email attachments directly without the download-upload dance)
  • *Zapier (connects to 1000+ apps because Zoho doesn't integrate with everything natively)
  • *Zoho Mail (automatically saves incoming attachments to the right folders)
  • *Slack (for notifications about file changes and link sharing with the team)

The Catch

  • !No specific pricing in their docs - always a red flag for budget planning
  • !Desktop sync limited to 5 folders, so you'll hit that limit faster than expected
  • !The real value comes from Zoho integrations, so if you're not using their other tools, you're paying premium for basic features

Bottom Line

Google Drive's organized cousin - costs more but won't make you cry when 12 people edit the same document.
