10 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Review and approval in one thread per file
Filestage runs review and approval in one thread per file from $199 a month, process machinery for teams rather than a personal storage plan.
Send big files and collect notes on them
Hightail sends big files and collects notes on them, the same delivery-plus-feedback pairing, with a free tier and plans from $12.
Send a file of any size, from six dollars
Filemail sends a file of any size from $6 a month with a free tier, a cheaper pipe for pure delivery.
Encrypted storage where only you hold the key
Sync.com does encrypted storage and sharing where only you hold the key, from $6 a month, for client files that need stricter privacy.
Big files sent without an account
WeTransfer sends big files the recipient can open without an account, free to start, built around delivery rather than a synced two-terabyte store.
Large file transfer priced by the gigabyte
MASV prices large file transfer by the gigabyte, so occasional heavy deliveries cost only what they weigh instead of a standing 2 TB plan.
Where a client gives notes on the timecode
Frame.io is the stronger review tool, with notes tied to timecode from $15 a month, the pick when the approval process matters more than storage.
Object storage at one rate, with no egress fee
Wasabi charges one rate with no egress fee at $8, so pulling large files back out costs nothing extra.
Cloud storage at $6.95 a terabyte
Backblaze charges $6.95 a terabyte for cloud storage alone, cheaper than Dropbox's $9.99 plan for anybody who does not need Replay or a synced desktop folder.
Cloud storage you buy once and keep
pCloud sells storage you buy once and keep, from $199, which removes the monthly bill on an archive that only grows.
