CrashPlan provides protection for all of your important files out of the box.

Collaboration tools and shared drives are great for when you want to work together with a larger team or share specific files with key stakeholders. Sync solutions such as Google Drive fall down (hard) when tasked with protecting data as a substitute for a strong backup solution

“Collaboration solutions are all good and handy but we can’t rely on those as a backup source because it isn’t going to be an automatic process. We can capture some things with sync apps but that doesn’t meet the full need. We need something that we know is going to be proactively fetching that data and backing it up to a secure third location. For us, that’s CrashPlan.
