Pros

  • It does what it says it does, and it's simple, clear and customizable. Super easy to setup and install.

  • For quite some time, I've been hunting for a great bookmarking software that had a visual appeal. So this also worked out perfectly to include needed web links for each project.

  • If you're in the hunt for a straightforward, collaborative space that's not just secure but enjoyable to use, then I'd recommend giving Deskfirst a go.

Cons

  • The very confusing price model makes it hard to logically follow the connection between the users x desktops x storage. But based on the exchange with the founders, they are working on it.

  • Just 3 cons:- lack of 2FA- folder with inside other folders, don't seams to upload automatically and it must be manually- lack of a dedicated device app.

  • I hate that I cannot duplicate desktops. I also wish I could have one URL that is on my domain instead of Deskfirst.

"Deskfirst is an exceptional tool for organizing and sharing files"

Overall: I'm loving the tool. Branding customization is something that greatly enhances the service provided

Pros: Deskfirst is an easy and intuitive tool, it doesn't require any training or configuration to start using.

Cons: As the Deskfirst roadmap still has a lot of functionality being created, I hope that previews of more file types will be inserted into the tool.

Switched From: Google Drive
Reasons for Switching to Deskfirst: Google Drive is very good for sharing spreadsheets. But for visual identity control, photos of events and media for social networks it is not practical.

"Great Potential if Devs"

Overall: International file management will become easier for people who find it difficult to adapt to unfamiliar user interfaces. Some of the primary functions of the software is not what I expected - I may downgrade my plan because of this. Deskfirst has incredible potential - hopefully the Devs balance with a capable business development manager.

Pros: Exceptionally easy to use, smooth and familiar.

Cons: No white labelling and CName.Confusing team roles (the fact that your team cannot create their own private desktops and utilize the storage on your plan may cause buyers to misunderstand what they are actually getting)Currently not many file types can be edited within the Deskfirst interface.

Alternatives Considered: Dropbox Business
Reasons for Choosing Deskfirst: Different approach to UI

"A Great Client Brand Dashboard Solution"

Overall: It was simple to use right from login

Pros: It's simplicity and easy setup. Not having to explain to a client how to access their files makes all the difference.

Cons: Haven't found a negative as of yet, but hopeful I won't find any worth mentioning!

Switched From: QuickReviewer
Reasons for Switching to Deskfirst: I wanted a more intuitive system for my clients to get access to and view/download their brand files

"Fast, fun and easy to use"

Overall: It was super easy to use and set up my desktops in a matter of minutes.

Pros: I'm using Desktop as a solopreneur to create a visual space for various projects....Once I started, I kept coming up with more ideas.For quite some time, I've been hunting for a great bookmarking software that had a visual appeal....so this also worked out perfectly to include needed web links for each project.

Cons: I want to be able to create some permanent sharing links instead of expiring ones. At this time, I'm not yet able to do that. Perhaps they will add this feature.

Reasons for Choosing Deskfirst: I chose Deskfirst over other popular storage options hosted online because of the visual appeal. I love that I can quickly upload, store files, share files, and organize my content just as I would on my laptop. When I get a new computer in the future, I'll be able to access these desktops quickly online. The visual appeal had a big draw for me.
