  • Pros

  • Easy to use and to set up. Does exactly what we needed without the pains of an FTP site.
  • I only used this program for its free trial, but I liked how the interface was built and the fact that you can have permissions and thus, can avoid having leaking information issues.
  • Cons

  • We have had several occasions where the site was unavailable due to technical difficulties.
  • Uploading files via FTP or larger than 500MB takes days to weeks to upload due to constant server errors and disconnects.
