Filecamp Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Filecamp is easy to use, keeps documents secure and enables user-friendly sharing and receiving of documents. It has an all important link sharing expiry option, which means that links to documents cannot be abused. You are able to share files and folder with people who do are not registered with your Filecamp storage platform, which is very handy for once off document sharing requirements.

Nachteile

The moving of documents between folders is a bit slow as there is no drag and drop or cut and paste option.

Vorteile

We previously used Dropbox but it became a file wasteland with difficult to find files. For Media Files Filecamp and the ability to see thumbnails was a huge improvement.

Nachteile

I would like to be able to have a navigation that could mimic our current website and/or integrate into Wordpress. I think finding items is tricky for users not familiar with clicking around to find things.

Warum Filecamp gewählt wurde

Filecamp allowed us to show file thumbnails and share items without the users needing to install Dropbox.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Filecamp

I liked the Filecamp interface and features.

Vorteile

Has most of the features I need. Uploading is easy. Has the tagging functions and ability to add users.

Nachteile

The features don't all work well or are not well implemented. No real search function, poor mobile performance. Been having buggy performance lately. Informing users of new galleries or selects or other changes is nearly non existent, users can be notified when files are added to a folder but it just lists the file names in an email. It should rather show a preview of the images added and send them their login credentials to view it or make logins for clients easier.

Vorteile

The price point for the product is spot on. We are using it to manage a library of over 3,000 images, videos and graphic files. It's been easily implemented and adapted within our organization. Setup can be done in an hour. No high pressure sales as with other products.

Nachteile

Would love to see the ability to enlarge images in the grid view for easier browsing. Would also love to see the ability to check a box to make an image the folder icon instead of having to resize and upload.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Filecamp

Mainly price. FileCamp had all the features of the bigger brands, but a price point that was an easier sell within our organization.

Vorteile

What I like most about Filecamp is how I can share files with my clients through secure links that can be set to be temporary. This way the clients don't need to log-in or make an account and I can just share the links through an email template within Filecamp. As a photographer another thing of importance is the ability for clients to preview shared files.

Nachteile

Filecamp has the option for a branded white label file sharing. This means that all your client sees is your own business without any references to Filecamp. But the 'white label' option could still be made better if there was the possibility to change the wording (manually or automatically in a language of choice) in any of the UI that the client see. This is important for non-English businesses in order to have a true white label experience.

Vorteile

Our architects and technologists can easily organize projects and make drawings and documents quickly accessible to all stakeholders. From an admin point of view it's easy to manage people, folders and password.

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind at this time. The software functions as you would need it to.

Vorteile

This software is a fantastic option if you need a budget Digital Asset Management but still with a very professional look and feel. Some of the best features is the granular access control for users, unlimited users (don't have to pay per seat which is a must for us!), and white label branding control.

Nachteile

The access control for folders and files is not quite granular enough, automatic emails are very limited when it comes to formatting etc, managing users can become complex.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Filecamp

Unlimited users, not as complex and quicker to implement, granular access control, cheaper and more suitable payment plans (don't have to pay per user), still included branding features (to a limited extent to alternatives but still sufficient).

Vorteile

Ease-of-use is a big one - for me, having a capable software with many features is important but also being able to quickly find something / upload new files is just as important, and Filecamp has figured that process out.

Nachteile

Honestly, I don't have a complaint. I work in a field that is historically not tech-savvy, so the only issue I've had is getting people to utilize the software vs. asking me to do it for them. This has nothing to do with Filecamp, just human nature.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Filecamp

Pricing, features/functionality, unlimited users included in price, custom domains

Vorteile

Filecamp offers a great way to manage your digital assets like photos and videos. You can easily bulk upload and tag images, so they are easy to search for. They also offer nonprofit pricing, and great customer support.

Nachteile

There are new features that can be added to make it even better, and their support team is open to ideas for new feature requests.

Vorteile

A formal sharing tool the user can upload, manage and share the file with the other file camp users. It's a simple, quick and easy cloud storage solution. The user can create a folder and upload the folders which keep the information organized. The user can add a description to the file so that other users get the information about the file. The user can use tags to the file which help to find a particular file quickly. The user can download the original uploaded file with lower resolution files. The file camp allows the enterprise to add its company branding and titling. The user can set a custom theme for the user interface. The application is available in Android, Windows, Mac and website version.

Nachteile

The subscription plan is pricey for small enterprises, would have introduced custom subscription plans. In-person, webinar training support is not available. Customer support should improve the response time and resolution of the issues. The user interface should improve the simplification of the options.

Vorteile

User interface is great
Easy to learn and navigate
Features work great.

Nachteile

The load time of the pages takes too long.
No thumbnails previews for large PSD files.
I prefer the old labeling rather than the dots. It is easy to read APPROVED or NEW PROOF or whatever the label is then to try to remember what the colour represents. Especially when you have multiple label sets.
Drag and drop to move files would be amazing.
The commenting tool is weak. It needs more features, like circling or highlighting.

Vorteile

easy and elegant appearance, corporate design, easy of use

Nachteile

user notification management is somehow confusing. I would welcome a central management for this issue

Vorteile

It is very flexible with many features I never thought I even needed.

Nachteile

There are few issues I have found withe the software, however I would like it, when I am uploading new files for the ability to just drag and drop anywhere rather than have to open a dialogue box to do so. Not a biggie, but would make workflow a lot faster.

Vorteile

Filecamp was extremely easy to set up and has a very intuitive design. It's simple and effective for organizing images and files to easily share with my team.

Nachteile

I wish it were easier to use the search tool to find images based off the file name vs. tags. I fully plan to tag each image but that is a long process for the number of images we have so in the interim being able to search by file name would be easier.

Vorteile

Speed, ease of use, intuitive interfaces.

Nachteile

Ability to batch manage files for tasks such as deletion, etc.

Vorteile

ease of use, features and the price options

Nachteile

for the price i think it has all the needed features. Ideally being able to put active/inactive dates on iamges to show/hide them and possibly a way to archve expired images off filecamp to save space.

Vorteile

Very easy to use, Filecamp meets a particular need for our group of volunteers to share files used in promotions. Intuitive, so that a novice or casual user can navigate to find what they want and even technophobes can handle the admin tasks. It has a large storage capacity for the many photo files we have and most importantly for us, it is searchable and displays the content visually.

Nachteile

This is just a personal peeve. I do search the file often and wish the search bar would refresh with each search and not retain the last word searched. That one extra little step to delete the previous search term is an annoyance.

Vorteile

This product is exactly what a small business needs, and has plenty of room for scaling.

Nachteile

The UI isn't as "fancy" as some of the higher-end products, but honestly, it's not an issue and the fact it's simple and customizable has been actually a good thing. I also wish it integrated with google docs or other software so it was more centralized but it definitely gets the job done.

Vorteile

Ease of use and overall look and feel: Cleam and professional.
User management.
But most of all, the customer service experience has been great!

Nachteile

I guess you could get cheaper options, but will you also be satisfied with customer care?

Vorteile

Easy to organize, great tagging/search tools, straightforward admin interface. We use it is an internal catalog of creative assets, organized by asset genre folders, and tagged for keyword searching. It's been the right tool for the job!

Nachteile

I wish it was easier to section things off for search purposes. The function might exist, but I've yet to find it.

Vorteile

It's a pretty clean interface for the most part.
Files seem to be there and stable all the time.
Can hold quite a bit of data.
Sharing isn't too complicated and once you share, access is easily achieved unlike some other programs.

Nachteile

I am still not sure what specific improvements i would like to see. Perhaps adding a message space to preset groups folder sharing.

Vorteile

1) User friendly
2) Covers most of the features that is required for file sharing
3) Allows labelling and adding comments which is useful while reviewing
4) Provides tight permissions on the document.

Nachteile

1) Cannot edit the contents of the document online. It should always be downloaded
2) Would have been better if there were more customisation options. Currently we can only add company logo and name
3) Storage capacity

Vorteile

It has all features as super expensive options out there. I would have loved to stay with them but my project was FotosDCuba and because of the US Embargo, Cuban photographers cannot access the site. Their team worked hard to try and solve the issues. Their Customer Service is Five Stars Plus. No issues in getting a refund. I really wish them the best.

Nachteile

I didn't have the chance of finding negative. I would mention the little storage but I understand (If you think of the pricing is not bad at all)

Vorteile

It is a cheaper data storage alternative to what we were using previously. Uploads are fairly easy (and very fast) , especially since they have made some updates over the last few years.

Nachteile

We prefer to have a years worth of folder hierarchy set up in advance of data uploads, but have to use the FTP for empty folder uploads. The regular upload function will not work for empty folder structures.

Vorteile

This is a great tool to store, share, and work with all formats of files (documents, presentations, images). Design is user friendly and easy to use. Having files organized and accessible from one place will greatly improve your company’s operations. Keywords and tags function make search and discovery files easier and faster. What is important, they provide 24/7 secure system for your data.

Nachteile

I miss drag and drop option, but this it's not a disadvantage, that would be an improvement
