Highest scored
MEGAMEGA
MEGA packs private storage and sharing with useful extras, but transfer limits and overages need attention.
ForkLiftForkLift
ForkLift does more than transfer files, but its one-time license doesn’t include lifetime updates.
BoxBox
A feature-rich content platform, but seat minimums and unpublished add-on prices complicate the value case.
