If you are considering replacing Drive or OneDrive with one, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r2docuo.com\/en\/document-management-vs-shared-folders\">document management system vs shared folders<\/a> we look at when each option makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>You are probably wondering what the main practical differences between the two are. We have put together an infographic with the nine main differences (click on the infographic to see it larger):<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.r2docuo.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/gdocvsstorage900.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.r2docuo.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/gdocvsstorage900-600x764.png\" alt=\"Infographic: 9 differences between document management and shared folders (Spanish version)\" width=\"600\" height=\"764\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-file-organisation\" class=\"anchor\">1. File organisation<\/h3>\n<p>In a document management system you can <strong>organise your files using folders, categories and user queries<\/strong>. With simple cloud file storage you can only do it with folders.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-metadata\" class=\"anchor\">2. Metadata<\/h3>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r2docuo.com\/en\/best-document-management-software-spain\">document management software<\/a>, as in a library, <strong>every file has a metadata record<\/strong> to hold its most important information. In a traditional file storage service the only source of information is the file name and, at best, its content (FTS).<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-searches-and-user-queries\" class=\"anchor\">3. Searches and user queries<\/h3>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r2docuo.com\/en\/document-management-system\">document management system<\/a>, <strong>searches look both at the file name and at its main metadata<\/strong>, resulting in fast, precise queries and searches.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-collaboration-tools\" class=\"anchor\">4. Collaboration tools<\/h3>\n<p>In a cloud document management tool, <strong>collaboration between users resembles that of any social network<\/strong> such as Facebook or Instagram, where users can leave comments, reminders or tasks about their shared work. In a cloud file storage service the only collaboration between users is based on sharing files.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-workflow-management\" class=\"anchor\">5. Workflow management<\/h3>\n<p>Cloud document management systems such as Docuo <strong>have workflow management features<\/strong> for documents that let you know the status of each file within the company&#8217;s internal process (a quote being created, sent, accepted or rejected by the customer) and also show it to users through diagrams, colours or status names, whereas with file storage services only folders can be used for this.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"6-corporate-branding\" class=\"anchor\">6. Corporate branding<\/h3>\n<p>The look of the Docuo document management software can be customised so that when your customers or partners reach the file sharing or collaboration screens, they <strong>see the whole environment with your logo and corporate identity<\/strong> and know where they are. Free file sharing services generally have no customisation options.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"7-handling-repetitive-tasks-templates-and-automatic-emails\" class=\"anchor\">7. Handling repetitive tasks: templates and automatic emails<\/h3>\n<p>Repetitive tasks in document management software can be automated through <strong>scheduling and workflow design<\/strong>, whereas with cloud file storage services you always have to fall back on copying and pasting old versions of documents.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"8-additional-tools\" class=\"anchor\">8. Additional tools<\/h3>\n<p>Cloud storage services have no additional tools for working on files beyond online editing (at best). Document management software offers everything from <strong>OCR to direct scanning and digitisation of files or the electronic signing<\/strong> of PDF documents.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"9-price-and-ease-of-use\" class=\"anchor\">9. Price and ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>Free cloud storage services are affordable and have a gentle learning curve that lets you use them in no time. The Docuo cloud document management system can be used <strong>for the same price as a cloud storage service and with the same simplicity<\/strong>, while also bringing additional features that are useful for companies and teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is common to compare professional cloud Document Management Software with simple file storage services using
