Dropbox is well known and a frequently used cloud when it comes to storing data or photos and being able to access them regardless of location. But what functions does Dropbox offer and how does it differ from our cloud solution? Does data storage with Dropbox offer companies sufficient security?  What about data sovereignty and data control – for example, when it comes to sensitive customer data? What are the advantages of EGroupware’s file manager solution?

EGroupware – free alternative to Dropbox in the German data centre

Our EGroupware servers are located exclusively in Germany, which is an important criterion when it comes to data security. Support and development also take place in Germany.
A filing system is only useful if it works centrally and independent of location. This is why companies use various cloud solutions. In recent years, the discussion about data protection and data control has increasingly brought the “German cloud” into the conversation for companies. Companies want the greatest possible data security. In this respect, EGroupware as a free Dropbox alternative is a real option. The German server location is an important factor for many of our customers. Via our test version, you can try out at your leisure whether EGroupware is the right solution for you. Here you can test our current version!

An important “plus” is also the online appointment scheduling without an appointment book – location-independent, configurable and secure. Appointment diaries in book format are no longer practical for most teams. Changes are not managed centrally here and reconciliation between employees at other locations is hardly possible. Here, software that manages information centrally and at the same time offers, for example, a group calendar, is a truly time-saving solution.

Dropbox alternative free of charge – integration instead of isolated solutions

As already mentioned, it is essential to have all functions linked in one tool. It is of little use to create a complicated structure using functions from different providers. “Isolated solutions that do not cooperate cost many companies valuable time. With our solution you can not only manage data and create appointments for employees. EGroupware as an employee tool also links all integrated applications (“apps”) with each other.  Users not only have the option of storing data like in a Dropbox, but also a tool at their side that reminds employees of appointments and links data perfectly.

You can also control access rights in detail and adapt settings perfectly to your processes. You can organise data, projects and tasks even better and easily integrate external partners through approvals. Another advantage is that you can control all these functions from mobile devices such as your smartphone or tablet.
For a company that also has freelancers, data management online is a particularly important issue. Wherever your employees are: Via the access rights, you regulate in detail who may access your company data from where. With EGroupware as a German Dropbox alternative, you can, for example, send read releases as a link or download permissions for external team members.
Of course, you have the possibility to test our current software version free of charge and decide after 30 days whether EGroupware is the right solution for your team.

Some companies that have not yet taken a closer look at cloud solutions initially express reservations because of the changeover to a new tool. We enable you to get to grips with all the functions right from the start. You will receive an introduction from our experienced, German-speaking team. Questions can be clarified in a personal conversation by phone, email or on site. Of course, we also offer staff training for the software.

Especially for companies, it is important to try out a possible Dropbox alternative for free so that they have a good basis for decision-making before making the switch. Our software solution offers German-language support and our team is happy to help with any questions about the business software.

We look forward to hearing from you and would welcome you to try our Dropbox alternative for free!
