Being able to host digital storage that lets multiple users collaborate without everyone needing to be on the same email domain offers a lot of flexibility. Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google are more rigid in that respect, so ChurchCloud fills a niche that non-profit organisations like churches, especially smaller churches with small teams or no staff at all, really need. The UI is simple currently and makes it intuitive to use as new aspects are gradually added to improve, update and modify to the users who are feeding back on the live model. Uploads are quick and seamless and you can upload a chunky 100mb at a time allowing you to upload slideshows and photos as well as videos at speed. Access to the ChurchCloud is integrated into our Church website and that gives us access to ChurchSuite and so the trio work very well together. The price is extremely competitive with other digital storage providers and I feel as a church leader that we are getting extremely good value for money and it has removed a lot of the stress of communicating our Sunday Services. and sharing all the files that sometimes 3-4 people need access to. We can also make our safeguarding a protected file that no one can access except our parish safeguarding officer (PSO) and myself as clergy where needed. Other files can be designated to specific people or groups and so you can put up more sensitive material for PCC's and leaders notes that you only want to share with key people. I have been using it since day 1 and have been familiarising myself as it has developed. There are now significant upgrades to tutorials, guidance, troubleshooting for all aspects of ChurchCloud.

Because it’s largely text-based and presented as lists of files, some people may find the lack of visuals a bit off-putting. That said, this is also part of its strength: the minimalist approach keeps things straightforward, and it feels like a process that can evolve over the coming months as it continues to be upgraded and polished.
