Amium vs Dropbox: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amium as "Turn any file into a real-time activity feed and conversation". Amium turns every file into a conversation thread and activity feed. Files are synced and shared so you can work on them together and in real-time. Changes show up immediately in the conversation thread, and will also sync to your device. On the other hand, Dropbox is detailed as "Build the power of Dropbox into your apps". Harness the power of Dropbox. Connect to an account, upload, download, search, and more.
Amium and Dropbox can be categorized as "File Storage" tools.
Key criteria for that choice. I needed a collaborative backup tool for a 15 people team. All people would have access to both their individual private space that should synchronize automatically to/from their desktop and various shared spaces, with various kinds of access rights. Only Box would allow high fine tuning of the access rights. Multi-platform was important too. The ease to transfer ownership of a folder from one departing colleague to their N+1 was a real plus.
