Once you have a few hundred files uploaded the portal slows down to taking 10-15 seconds each click to navigate. ----- ### "Smart File" — 4.0/5 > **Joshua** | *2 February 2019* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very simple to setup Users acclimated with ease > > **Cons**: Confusing platform to share files, The buttons are not obvious on how to use it.

I needed to make directions for all of my users on how to use this service, and they were detailed with screenshots. ----- ### "Great platform" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *8 September 2020* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and to set up.
