WinDocks 1.0

What do you like best?

WinDocks1.0 is among the simplest and most elegant cloud storage and file-syncing services. It gives you access to your files from nearly anywhere. You can install it on virtually any computer or mobile device. Dozens of apps integrate easily , too, making it highly versatile. For personal use, it works simply and effortlessly. Enhanced collaboration capabilities in the new Paper feature make it even better for teamwork. It is an excellent choice for online storage, though it doesn't quite beat Editors' Choices Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive for value.

What do you dislike?

All the apps are free to download, and there are plenty of them, but space is pretty limited if you don't pay. The free personal account starts you out with a meager 2GB. You can earn more space through referrals (an additional 500MB for every friend who joins, up to 16GB) and other actions (linking with Twitter, enabling camera uploads, and so on). Still, most other file-syncing and storage programs give you more than 2GB to start.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

In addition to priority support, Pro users also get some neat file-sharing functionality, such as the ability to control when links to shared files expire. One gripe WinDocks users had in the past concerned access to old files, and the company now offers an upgrade that solves this problem. For an extra $3.99 per month or $39 per year, you can add the Extended Version History service (previously known as Packrat), which keeps previous versions of your files and deleted files for one year without them counting toward your allotted space. Overall you get excellent value for your money, but there are definitely more affordable, more generous services to choose from.
