Dropbox vs Kloudless: What are the differences?
What is Dropbox? Build the power of Dropbox into your apps. Harness the power of Dropbox. Connect to an account, upload, download, search, and more.
What is Kloudless? Integrate a single cloud storage API in the place of many. Kloudless is the last cloud storage API you'll ever need. Integrate a single REST API instead of many and use our UI tools to quickly build cloud storage support into your app. We maintain all the integrations so you can focus on building awesome products.
Dropbox and Kloudless can be primarily classified as "File Storage" tools.
Some of the features offered by Dropbox are:
- Dropbox Chooser- Get files from Dropbox into your web app with just a few lines of JavaScript.
- Sync API- Read and write to Dropbox from iOS & Android as if it were a local filesystem.
- Core API- The basics. Upload, download, search, and more from your web or mobile app.
On the other hand, Kloudless provides the following key features:
- Cloud Storage REST API for files and folders
- Search
- Access Controls
Due to we are using G Suite for emails, Google Drive comes out of the box.
In Google Drive we keep save just some basic marketing files. We used it as a single repository to share files between designers and developers. Nothing more than that. In some moment we had some backups there, but just for security reasons, we removed it
Key criteria for that choice. I needed a collaborative backup tool for a 15 people team. All people would have access to both their individual private space that should synchronize automatically to/from their desktop and various shared spaces, with various kinds of access rights. Only Box would allow high fine tuning of the access rights. Multi-platform was important too. The ease to transfer ownership of a folder from one departing colleague to their N+1 was a real plus.
