#1 Dropbox alternative for client portals

If your business needs more than just basic file sharing, consider Huddle 

You probably signed-up for Dropbox with a free account to get some free storage and to make your own files more portable. But now you're looking for an enterprise solution, and something to help you manage file sharing and content collaboration across your business, and beyond. 

Dropbox is a great tool for basic file sharing and cloud storage. But if your business is looking for something more, Huddle offers a proven Dropbox alternative. 

Today's businesses need the tools and services to work securely with their clients and partners. That means securely sharing content, managing document versions, and controlling the approval process.

Client portals are a great way to achieve this - offering you the ability to build beautifully branded spaces in the cloud, where your teams can come together with their clients to collaborate and manage content. 

What do you need from a client portal?

We've worked with hundreds of businesses to help them build engaging client portals. So, if you're looking to build a client portal yourself, here are some of the things we've learned: 

• It has to be easy for your clients to sign-up and use: If you use Microsoft Office and are trying to share content through OneDrive, your clients will need to register with their own Microsoft account? It's the same with Google Drive; if your clients doesn't have a Google account, they'll need to register for one. With Huddle, there's a no-fuss sign-up process. Your clients can use their own workplace email address and access your portal in minutes. 
• It has to be secure: When you're file sharing sensitive client information, security must be top of the list of requirements. Huddle makes secure file sharing simple and easy, with the ability to track all document activity - and even check when your clients have read a document. 
• What type of files do you need to share and collaborate on? File size is an important consideration. Some file sharing tools have limitations, must like your email account! If you need to share large files, including video, Huddle has you covered! 
• Be mobile: It's important that both your internal teams, and your clients can access the content they need, when they need it, even if that's through a mobile device when they're on the road. Huddle can be accessed on your PC through any web-browser, through a dedicated desktop app, and through our mobile apps for iOS and Android. 
• You need to be able to partition teams and projects: Tools like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive are built around files and folders. This makes it hard to partition teams and projects, which can create folder sprawl.
