Iozeta vs Dropbox
Both Iozeta and Dropbox are services that allow users to back up important files online, helping them to be less likely to lose important data. These two services offer a lot of similarities beside the fact that they are both forms of a similar service. They also have some features that differ, as well.
Iozeta and Dropbox both start with a simple download. Dropbox offers a free account (with up to 2GB of storage), along with two other basic accounts that offer up to 50GB and 100GB and a “team” account that allows multiple users. The team account is the closest thing they have to Iozeta’s premium account, which is named LiveDrive. The main difference here, however, is that Iozeta’s data space is unlimited. While you are limited to 2GB, 50GB, or 100GB on Dropbox, no such limits exist on Iozeta’s backup service.
Both services support Windows, Mac, iPad and iPhone. Dropbox also has software to make it work with Linux, Android, and Blackberry. Both offer free apps for iPad and iPhone.
Within this space, you can keep anything you like. Your files are encrypted with military grade AES encryption , and your files are available to you from anywhere. Both services will update the files you have uploaded by uploading the changes, making the upload much faster than if you had to re-upload the entire file. Both services keep multiple versions of your files. Iozeta keeps up to 30 versions, allowing you to roll back to a previous version easily if you need to. Dropbox keeps a one-month history, allowing you to undo changes and undelete files.
While Dropbox’s basic 2GB account is free, their other accounts are not. The 50GB account will cost a user $9.99 monthly, and the 100GB account costs $19.99 monthly. The team account is only accessible after you already have an account with Dropbox, and it starts at $795 yearly ($66.25 monthly) for up to 5 users and up to 350GB. Iozeta, on the other hand, does not offer a free account, but the accounts are so inexpensive that it does not matter much. The basic unlimited account with Iozeta starts at $3.88 monthly, and the premium LiveDrive unlimited account starts at only $6.88 monthly.
Dropbox allows you to upload files through their software. Iozeta allows an upload through their software, but they also allow uploading via email and FTP.
Both services allow users to edit their files online. With Dropbox, your files are saved both on your computer and on your Dropbox, and can be available to others. Changes are saved quickly, allowing you to share editing with others. Iozeta takes this one step farther, by allowing you access to your files not only for editing and sharing documents, but also other files, such as music and videos, can be accessed for streaming with the built in music player on Iozeta’s web portal page, allowing you to play it on any device or computer. LiveDrive also allows users to sync files between up to five of your own computers.
