the best of workplace is the way that you can share your files with your team, you can even select what and with who. you can, for example. select a folder for user A and the other one to user B. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

if you share a folder, you are unable to pass the ownership of it, for example, if an especific user share a folder with college and he move to another job for example, you cant pass that ownership to you, you need to copy all the info to you and then share it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datto Workplace was very easy to deploy to over 30 workstations. We just used the admin account to send out invite links to all of the users, and then sent them a few short instructions on installing the software and moving their files into the cloud-protected folder.

We had a really hard time migrating data from old servers. Quite a few clients needed to move away from physical servers and wanted their files on Datto Workplace, but moving terabytes of files into the cloud was a little tricky with the latest version of the software. My team ended up finding the trick to doing this, is to install the older version, which allowed you to point to an existing folder and sync that. (The new version creates a folder in which you had to drag the files into, but it capped out at syncing 25GB at a time or something like that. My use last use was early summer 2021, so updates may be in place now.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about this tool is that I can backup and synchronize my files in a few clicks. Also you decide where and when sharing the file that you synchronized and let the user view or download the file directly with a simple click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about that app is that sometimes it gets disconnected from the internet, and you don't know why; also, the workplace folder does the same behavior, and you have to click it to get it connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful part of Datto Workplace is the sharing options. You can easily set user permissions, password protects your shares, require validation, expire access after a set amount of time or number of downloads, and require users to log in for auditing purposes. The system automatically captures access logs, as well as usernames and IP addresses. We have an easily accessed record of who accessed files when we do external shares, which has saved us a lot of back and forth if someone claims they never received something.

We have two companies sharing several folders, and the on-premise server sync tool for one of the companies has a consistent error because we can only grant folder ownership to one sync agent at a time. The files still sync, and the end-users don't need to make changes to those folders. But if they did, we would need to figure out a workaround for the folders shared between companies.
