How MX Stacks Up Against the Competition

While Dropbox and WeTransfer cover the basics, My MX Data delivers secure, traceable and compliance-ready transfer for organisations that can’t risk exposure or guesswork with sensitive files.

The difference shows in Security & Compliance, File Control, Collaboration and Large Data Transfers.

Quantum-Safe Encryption – MX applies its ASR methodology to shield stored business data from next-generation quantum threats. ℹ️ What does this mean?ASR (Anonymise, Shard, Restore) splits data into anonymised fragments, places them in secure distributed storage, and re-forms them only when an authorised request is validated, outperforming conventional AES-256 methods.

Auditable Storage Access – Every interaction with stored files is recorded for compliance tracking.

Meets GDPR, UK DPA & ISO 27001 – Designed to help businesses maintain full compliance via secure storage and user control.

WeTransfer offers no encryption at rest, making it risky for sensitive archives.

Google Drive and Dropbox lack default configurations for higher-level compliance needs.

Security & Compliance

Named User Restrictions – Access is limited to authorised, identifiable users to cut down on data leakage risks.

Selectable Data Sovereignty – Pick storage locations that align with sector compliance rules or client preferences.

🟡Essential File Operations – Provides upload, download, and activity monitoring without full-scale document management tools.

Lacks Instant Sync – Built for secure transfers rather than ongoing background synchronisation.

File & Access Management

Protected Business File Sharing – Share large or sensitive files with encryption and complete transaction records for compliance peace of mind.

Integrated Messaging – Conversations about a file stay connected to it, so context is never lost.

Your Brand, Your Portal – A fully branded workspace, showing your colours and identity to clients and partners alike.

🟡Edits Made Outside MX – MX focuses on secure transfer, so content changes happen before files are uploaded.

Collaboration

Unlimited File Movement – Unlike Google Drive, which stops uploads at 750GB per day, or WeTransfer free accounts limited to 2GB, MX supports unrestricted transfers for business data.

Secure Client Upload Portals – Your organisation gets an encrypted, branded gateway for receiving important files, something consumer services simply don’t provide.

No Archival Feature – MX is optimised for secure transit, not storing files indefinitely as with Dropbox or OneDrive.

FAQs

1
Technology, Security & Compliance
How does MX differ from standard cloud storage solutions?

1. Purpose-Built for Secure Exchange: Unlike mainstream providers, MX is not designed for long-term storage. It focuses on controlled, traceable exchanges of sensitive data. This distinction helps organisations reduce the risks that come with files lingering unnecessarily in centralised cloud servers.

2. Technology Advantage: MX applies its quantum secure patented methodology, which anonymises, shards, and restores data, providing resilience even against future quantum computing threats. In contrast, consumer-grade storage platforms rely on conventional encryption without advanced protective layering.

3. Compliance Orientation: MX helps businesses facilitate adherence to frameworks such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and the UK Data Protection Act, offering audit trails and permission-based access. This makes it particularly suitable for regulated industries like finance, legal, and healthcare.

Does MX provide end-to-end protection of files?

1. Encryption in Transit and Storage: Files are protected with AES 256-bit encryption during both upload and download. MX goes further by applying its ASR (Anonymise, Shard, Restore) methodology, which separates data into multiple shards and stores them in distinct locations.

2. Advanced Safeguards: This design means that even if one shard were intercepted, it would be unusable without the others. This is a deliberate step beyond conventional storage providers, who typically keep entire files intact in a single repository.

3. Future-Proof Security: With adoption of quantum-resistant methods still at only 0.029% in open-source systems (source), MX provides businesses with a forward-looking layer of defence.

How does MX support compliance requirements?

1. GDPR & ISO Alignment: MX facilitates adherence to GDPR, ISO 27001, and the UK Data Protection Act by giving organisations control over file expiry, download restrictions, and data sovereignty options. While MX does not provide compliance certification itself, its tools help businesses achieve and demonstrate conformity more easily.

2. Audit Trails: Every transaction is logged, producing evidence of who accessed a file, when, and from where. This improves organisational readiness in case of audits or investigations.

3. Regional Flexibility: MX allows businesses to specify where data shards are stored, which is increasingly important as data sovereignty regulations tighten across Europe and globally.


For more information, explore our dedicated pages on GDPR and ISO Compliance.

Why is MX a safer option than keeping files in permanent cloud storage?

1. Reduced Exposure: Studies suggest that about 60% of files uploaded to cloud platforms are never actually shared (Varonis). MX eliminates this issue by limiting retention and focusing on the secure transfer itself.

2. Access Control: Files are only shared between named, authorised users. In contrast, open links in conventional cloud services often remain accessible longer than intended, increasing risk of misuse.

3. Business Reputation: Reducing the chances of exposure through forgotten or broadly shared links helps protect client trust and regulatory standing. This makes MX a cleaner and more responsible approach to data handling.


Looking at adoption trends? Research shows that 39% of business data uploaded to the cloud is used for file sharing purposes (Computerworld), which underlines why secure exchange is a high-value investment. Visit our Blog for further insights.

Efficiency & Business Value
How does MX improve business efficiency compared to cloud storage platforms?

Conventional cloud storage tools often prioritise archiving, meaning files accumulate over time and staff spend effort managing them. MX removes this burden by focusing purely on secure file exchange. Files are uploaded, encrypted, delivered, and then automatically retired according to expiry policies, reducing unnecessary administration.

For businesses, this translates into faster workflows and fewer bottlenecks. Teams no longer waste time locating old links, cleaning up drives, or verifying whether a file has been accessed correctly. Instead, MX provides clarity and accountability at every step.

  • Less File Clutter: Expiry policies prevent long-term accumulation.
  • Reduced Risk: No “forgotten files” stored indefinitely in the cloud.
  • Audit Trails: Instant confirmation of receipt for sensitive material.

Explore more benefits on our Features page or browse our Case Studies for practical examples.

Can MX reduce costs associated with file handling?

Yes. By stripping out long-term storage, MX eliminates the expense of maintaining extensive cloud repositories. Files are only retained for the duration of their transfer, which helps reduce costs tied to storage growth, compliance reviews, and potential data breaches. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach now costs businesses over $4.45 million globally (IBM).

With MX, you avoid these unnecessary risks and storage charges:

  • No Idle Data: Automatic expiry ensures that files don’t linger and inflate costs.
  • Lower Breach Exposure: Less data stored means fewer assets vulnerable to attack.
  • Streamlined Compliance: Shorter retention times simplify regulatory audits.

What value does MX provide for client and partner relationships?

Trust is often compromised when sensitive files are shared through general cloud platforms or consumer tools. MX strengthens relationships by ensuring partners and clients receive data through a branded, secure environment with clear access controls. This demonstrates a higher standard of care for their information.

Rather than risking reputational damage from a mis-shared link, businesses using MX can show clients that every transfer is encrypted, monitored, and temporary. This approach helps reinforce credibility and positions your organisation as a reliable custodian of sensitive information.

  • Professional Image: White-labelled portals reflect your brand identity.
  • Data Confidence: Clients know files aren’t sitting on public cloud links.
  • Reduced Risk: Secure, named-user access reassures stakeholders.

For a first-hand view, you can request a Free Trial and test how quickly MX can be deployed.

Can MX work alongside my existing software environment?

1. Complementary Use: MX doesn’t attempt to replace collaboration suites such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Instead, it runs in parallel, providing the secure exchange layer missing from those platforms. Staff can continue drafting documents in Word, Excel, or Google Docs, and then transfer the final versions via MX for audit-ready compliance.

2. Sector-Specific Flexibility: MX’s metadata APIs can link into finance, healthcare, or engineering systems, so file exchanges feed directly into existing compliance workflows. This ensures businesses avoid juggling multiple transfer tools across departments.

  • ERP/CRM Integration: Metadata can be fed into business systems for record-keeping.
  • Cross-Organisation Use: Partners outside your core environment can still interact securely.

Can MX be customised to align with my business branding?

1. White Labelling: MX allows businesses to apply their corporate identity across client-facing portals. This includes logos, colours, and subdomains, making the platform appear as a natural extension of your brand.

2. Professional Value: Branding your secure exchange portal signals responsibility and builds client trust. Rather than sending files through a generic service, your stakeholders interact with an environment that feels owned and controlled by your business.

  • Consistent Brand Experience: Reinforces professionalism across every touchpoint.
  • Custom Domains: Host MX under your own URL for a seamless brand presence.
  • Client Assurance: Reduces doubt when sharing sensitive information.
