Market Landscape Report: Online File Sharing and Collaboration in the Enterprise

The trend toward "consumerization" marches onward in IT; more and more end-users are choosing their own hardware plaforms and software applications in lieu of the IT-sanctioned business tools provided by their companies.

This need for balance is one of the drivers of the fast growing online file sharing and collaboration segment of the SaaS market. This paper examines the market drivers, inhibitors, and top vendors in this segment, including Box, Citrix Sharefile, Dropbox, Egnyte, Nomadesk, Sugarsync, Syncplicity and YouSendIt.
