Online Backup Reviews : Best Online Backup 2011

I just heard about this newer service launched by good old Dropbox last week called Dropbox for Teams. The name says it all. This was launched late last October. They are a little late to the party because other providers have already introduced this feature a long time ago. Collaboration is common these days and with a cloud-based backup service, you can't afford not to have one.

The plan starts at $795 for 5 users. Not exactly cheap. In my opinion JungleDisk Workgroup has better options. For instance, if your group is the kind that does not upload much then for $795 you can't capitalize on that expense per month. JungleDisk, however, will charge you on 3 points - storage used, data request and data transfer and how many users are in workgroup.

$795 per month for 5 persons?!

That is insane. I could already buy 2 ASUS Eee PC for that amount. It is ridiculous why its too expensive. It's not even feasible.

I can easily get a decent VPS at a tenth of the price, pay somebody to setup a VPN server, have my team connect to the VPN and voila,we have file sharing! All for less than $100 a month.

I tried Dropbox and I really liked their service. It's good to know that they have upgraded their technology. Do you know how much Dropbox team costs?
