How is Suite different from traditional cloud storage?

How Suite outperforms traditional cloud storage by offering instant access to large files without syncing or downloading.

Updated this week

Sync solutions (introduced by companies like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive) are a way of keeping files synced across multiple devices by having copies of the files in different places. This method works fine for individuals with small files and casual sharing needs however, as file sizes and data sets get bigger, it becomes less effective and impractical for production environments.

Sync solutions can be problematic and inefficient because users have to download and sync files repeatedly across multiple locations, which wastes time and resources.

Suite Storage, on the other hand, integrates directly with the file system on your device and is built to make cloud storage behave like a Network Attached Storage or NAS. It provides instant access to data regardless of size or distance, without the need to sync or download, which is a huge advantage for those working with large files or in remote working situations.
