Keep kDrive, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace kDrive you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 34 of the 45 other file storage and sync services we grade.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, OnlyOffice, Microsoft Office Online and Synology among them.
What this rests on. kDrive’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
