Amazon WorkDocs

Amazon WorkDocs is a file storage and collaboration service provided by global market behemoth Amazon. It's a direct competitor to the older and more popular Google Docs. Some notable customers of WorkDocs include IMDb, Conde Nast and Signet Maritime Corporation. Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, who is now the richest person on the planet. Amazon's wealth and versatility makes it an obvious choice for many businesses, and their increasingly robust selection of services gives companies plenty of incentive to invest. WorkDocs

Amazon WorkDocs Reviews

Businesses of all sizes are using Amazon WorkDocs in order to have a centralized location for documents and spreadsheets. This is especially useful for companies that already use some of Amazon's many business services, like Lightsail, to keep all of their resources in a single place. Consolidation of online services means greater security, since Amazon is a robust company with plenty of cybercrime deflection measures behind it. The pricing model is modular: Users only have to pay for active user accounts and currently used storage. That means no shelling out cash for unused storage space. WorkDocs comes equipped with a handy software developer kit (SDK) to permit integration with custom modifications and plug-ins. Users can access Amazon WorkDocs from any device, increasing mobility in the ever-changing business environment. Administrators have full control of who is able to modify files online, and the environment's unlimited versioning feature means every change is saved in real-time and is immediately seen by other collaborators. Additionally, an activity feed records a history of all changes made to a document, allowing a moderator to revert back to previous version if needed.
