"Their feature set is unparalleled"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 5.0.335
Pros
their online backup service is able to backup any type of file of any size, which most competitors limit in some way. Their new drop box also lets my clients upload files to me quickly. Also, support staff has been great answering my questions.
Cons
Connection to mapped drive cuts out at times, but I think it has to do with windows. Not sure if its just my computer. Also, it wasn't clear how to set up the group account initially.
Summary
Great if you don't want to spend the time and money to get an in house system set up. Doesn't have some of the limitations of its competitors.

"Extremely impressive, two thumbs up!"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 5.0.335
Pros
Lots of features, good features, and very easy: drag and drop, automatic folder synchronization, file versions, encryption, share and publish.
Cons
The free version has limited features.
Summary
I read the article,
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/internet/3233766/the-5-best-free-online-storage-services/?pn=2, which rates drivehq filemanager as one of the best free online storage service. So I decided to give it a try. I am very impressed by the software. As a matter of fact, I think the article failed to mention quite a few nice features, such as file versions, data encryption, etc.
I would recommend the software to any business users. I am not sure if it is the best for consumers, but worth a try. -
"Works, but watch out for over-charging your account"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 5.0.335
Pros
It works, GUI easy to use
Cons
Unethical billing practices
Summary
I tried the free version, which is VERY limited in functionality because it will stop allowing FTP uploads after you do maybe 3 lowres pictures from a webcam. So I went month to month for $2.50, which
allows more uploads and online space. Then I pre-paid for a year for $30, and they started charging me twice a month, and all my credit was gone in 6 months. In numerous emails with support, they refused to admit their mistake for double-charging me.
The problem is their billing system, which doesn't properly record orders and you don't find out about their mistakes until months down the road. It is difficult to find out what you are being charged for and your current balance, and they take it for granted that your lack of understanding their billing system is your problem, not theirs.
The service works, but I do not do business with companies who treat their customers like a number, unless of course I don't have a vendor choice. These guys behave like a monopoly and don't realize their are plenty of other companies who offer the same service. -
"It's glorified spyware."
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 5.0.335
Pros
It does what it says it does?
Cons
You need to register this with an e-mail and a password, and log in to use it. It's a growing, disturbing trend where everything we do with our computers is logged and tracked forever.
Summary
You can find a better way.

"Reliable, Intuitive and Feature rich"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 4.0.284
Pros
I have just migrated my files over from another online storage provider because I'm really impressed with DriveHQ. In particular I like the DriveHQ File Manager, it bypasses the firewall system at work and enables me to access my files anywhere.
Cons
Need a facilities to:
* Move a file to another folder.
* Embed a video file in a web page.
* Get a URL link to a file.Summary
It seems to be reliable and handles breaks in the internet connection very well. I think reliability is important, it builds confidence in the product. Despite the lack of links to a file, (as mentioned in "Cons" above), the UI is easy to use, certainly compared to the online file storage system I used before. I like the fast way to check account balance and details, that's useful.

"Free and good"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 4.0.284
Pros
It works and is reliable.
Cons
I have cable with Bigpond, which has an very slow upload speed and it takes ages to upload files. But this is not the products fault.
Summary
In the Millenium of Google, it is another useful alternative.
-
"Abysmal upload speeds."
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 4.0.284
Pros
Good software, easy to use.
Cons
My average upload speed is a ridiculous 8Kb/s. DriveHQ has become unusable. It is useless. I switched to IDrive and now upload at a glorious 708 Kb/s.
Summary
My only complaint is the appalling upload speed, so low that DriveHQ has become useless. I emailed and received a useless generic reply. I believe DriveHQ has had its day.

"The best FTP tool, but may not be for freebies"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 4.0.284
Pros
It is such a great FTP application, bundled with full-feature FTP server hosting service. It is more than a regular FTP client, It includes FTP hosting so no need to setup my own FTP server. It supports multiple users with different access rights
Cons
It is not a plain FTP client as it only connects to DriveHQ FTP server hosting service. But it has free basic FTP hosting service. So why you need to connect to another FTP server?
Summary
The best part of this FTP program is that it includes free or low cost FTP server hosting service, which can be very expensive! Plus it supports the sharing and publishing feature, which you can use to share folders and set a different levels of access rights, or link it from ebay or your own website.

"Great Product"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 4.0.284
Pros
It does what it says it will and that's a surprise now a days.
Cons
None at this time
Summary
I wanted something for personal use to transfer files between my lap top and my desktop, and got it. For anything else I'm not sure. And if I want to share my user name and password and they are willing to load the software I can do that.
-
"Lots of Restrictions"
Version: DriveHQ FileManager 4.0.284
Pros
Nice interface. Looks slick.
Cons
This is shown as free and with no limitations, but you really dont get much for your free account. You cannot upload more than 50Mb at a time; you can't send/receive more than 406Mb per month; and you cant store more than 1Gb in total at any one time
Summary
Looks good if you're willing to pay a fee. The fee looks very reasonable. But the free account is not worth bothering with.
