DAM was designed specifically to secure files and keep track of employees’ access to the files.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of protections DAM has in place that Dropbox doesn’t provide. In fact Dropbox comes up short in numerous areas when it comes to security. Having control over who has access to certain data is something Dropbox doesn’t offer. This potential liability isn’t a problem with DAM, as administrators are able to see who is viewing files and when. The digital security of DAM makes it a necessity for every company with sensitive assets and an important \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fdropbox-alternatives\u002F\">Dropbox alternative\u003C\u002Fa> for companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An organization should never have to worry about sensitive data when it comes to cloud storage, which is why Canto digital asset management teams up with Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS provides the absolute safest cloud storage available. It also gives companies great speed to access their files, which is impressive considering the elite-level safekeeping it offers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--secure-dropbox-alternative-targeted-accessibility\">Secure Dropbox alternative – Targeted accessibility\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DAM allows employees working on shared files to access certain data through searches of keywords. The data will be much easier for employees to both share and access. Files will be accurately organized, saving time and hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another key feature of DAM is the custom permissions component.

Dropbox lacks the full file-sharing functionality that DAM provides. Employees can share files on numerous devices and from various locations with a click or a tap.
