The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/file-storage ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Signiant you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 91 other file storage and sync services grade higher. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Storing and serving files for other people. - You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and roles and permissions. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
