"Filr - On Premise Dropbox Alternative"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Filr?

What do you dislike about OpenText Filr?

Controls for how files are synchronized via desktop clients. For example, if you have someone try and clean up their local hard drive they may delete files from Filr ( which would sync back to the server ). There should be something to alert an admin of such an event to approve before it's completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Filr:

Each new version the product keeps getting better. For a VM environment keep in mind that upgrades do require a new VM to be put in place. The storage from one VM can be moved as opposed to copied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
