My little team enjoyed the benefits of Canto because it has helped us save time and access the resources we need. Prior to Canto, we outsourced a lot of work and had to comb through email to identify several Google Drives, WeTransfers, and Dropboxes in order to get the materials we required. This was cumbersome and ineffective. Canto now lets me choose who sees what and what is preserved, plus it's a simple application to navigate. We gain from Canto's solution to the problem of disorganized media files since it helps us identify the materials we need faster and more easily.

We've used it to share documents and work together on projects, and it's been awesome for that. We've been able to collaborate really well and get stuff done. It has a bunch of different features to try out, but sometimes it's hard to use with other applications. It's been a big help for us in working together as a team.

I think the coolest feature is that you can create your own websites to keep your business or personal stuff organized and safe. It works best on Microsoft Edge and the shared space makes it easy to share documents and collaborate with others. You can even email links to stuff you want to share. The documents look really cool with all the visual features and graphics.

The bummer is that Microsoft is stopping the use of SharePoint and it's not clear how that will affect things. Also, this feature isn't free on a bunch of Microsoft editions and it's kinda tricky to use. You definitely need some help to get the hang of it.

The product has enabled us to share data across multiple platforms and significantly improve collaboration within our organization.

I really appreciate how simple it is to set up and access files for sharing with both internal and external users, especially for projects where collaboration is key.

Sometimes, configuring permissions can be a bit confusing for end users. They may struggle to understand the different levels of access and require technical assistance.
