How MX Stacks Up Against the Competition

Small businesses need storage that’s secure without being complicated. My MX Data delivers encrypted, compliance-ready storage that keeps client data and records safe.

It works best in Security & Compliance, File Control, Collaboration, and Large File Handling.

Quantum-Safe Protection – With its ASR methodology, MX keeps small business files private and recoverable only by the right people. ℹ️ What does this mean?ASR (Anonymize, Shard, Restore) turns data into anonymized shards, stores them across secure endpoints, and restores them only for authorized access, going beyond basic AES-256 practices.

Clear Access Logging – Records each file action so owners can trace who viewed what, and when.

Supports HIPAA, CCPA & ISO 27001 – Provides encryption and role-based access suitable for lean teams that still need compliance.

WeTransfer keeps stored files unencrypted, creating unnecessary exposure for business records.

Google Drive and Dropbox often require extra setup to satisfy small business compliance policies.

Security & Compliance

Restricted Named User Access – Access is locked to approved accounts, keeping stored data under tighter control.

Set Your Storage Location – Pick where your data is hosted to better fit industry and regulatory expectations.

🟡Basic File Features – Offers the ability to upload, download, and monitor file activity without a full document management toolset.

No Live Sync – All file transfers are intentional and secure, rather than constantly mirrored.

File Control

Encrypted File Release – Safely share stored documents with customers or suppliers, supported by timestamped delivery confirmations.

File-Specific Messaging – Keep quick notes and clarifications within the same view as the file, cutting down on unnecessary back-and-forth.

Branded Sharing Environment – Show your logo and colors throughout the exchange, which can help small teams appear polished and trustworthy.

🟡Work Edited Before Upload – Make revisions on your local files before sending them via MX.

Collaboration

Unlimited Transfer Capability – Move large designs, raw video footage or bulk client data without facing file size barriers. Google Drive’s 750GB/day and WeTransfer’s 2GB free limit are much tighter.

Secure Branded Portals for Clients – Accept uploads through encrypted pages styled to match your brand. This keeps small business data handling professional and private.

No Long-Term Cloud Storage – MX is built to move files quickly and securely, rather than store them indefinitely.

Large File Handling

How MX Helps Small Business achieve Compliance

Small teams still carry big obligations. MX protects cloud-stored files with robust end-to-end encryption and audit ready records that keep reviews quick and painless. Practical controls, clear evidence, fewer headaches.

HIPAA
Smaller healthcare practices often lack complex IT teams. MX gives them HIPAA coverage by encrypting stored patient files and logging every touchpoint, making compliance practical even for lean operations.
CCPA
CCPA obligations can overwhelm small firms. MX offers storage with clear permission settings and full activity records, so customer privacy is managed without heavy overhead.
SOX
SOX does not just apply to the big guys. Small businesses can still face reporting checks, and MX provides encrypted storage with audit ready trails that satisfy those standards.
GLBA
For small financial advisers or boutique firms, GLBA still matters. MX protects client records with encryption at rest and detailed access logs, proving confidentiality without fuss.
FISMA
Federal subcontractors are not always large agencies. MX ensures even small businesses can align with FISMA by encrypting stored files and restricting access to verified users.
FERPA
Small schools and private institutions often need affordable tools. MX secures student files with encryption and user based permissions, giving them FERPA compliance without costly systems.
ITAR
ITAR compliance can feel daunting for small defence suppliers. MX applies encryption and geographic controls, showing that even modest operations can store restricted data safely.
CJIS
Local law enforcement partners or small contractors working under CJIS rules benefit from MX encryption and complete audit logs, helping them prove compliance easily.
IRS 1075
Taxpayer files do not shrink in sensitivity just because the business is small. MX encrypts and logs every access, helping firms remain in step with IRS 1075.
NIST 800-171
Small contractors handling controlled unclassified data can rely on MX storage to meet NIST 800-171. Encryption, role based access and logs keep them covered.
Feature Description
🔒
Quantum-Safe Encryption at Rest
Every object is encrypted at a quantum safe level, combining ASR with AES-256. Data stays protected at rest and in transit which gives small teams a sturdy baseline for storage compliance.
👤
Named Recipient Control
Only approved, named users can open stored files. You see exactly who accessed what and when which reduces avoidable risk across shared repositories.
🛡️
US Compliance Alignment for Small Business
Built to support audits across common US frameworks like HIPAA, ITAR, ISO and many more. MX brings encryption at rest, named access, retention options and audit ready logs, so reviewers get clear evidence without heavy admin.
📊
Instant Storage Activity Logs
Every view, download and update is recorded with IP and timestamp details. Quick to search, easy to export, useful during reviews.
📦
Large Object Support
Store high resolution media and hefty datasets without imposed size limits. MX keeps encryption and tracking intact even for very large files.
🔐
Branded Upload Portals
Collect files into the right workspace through clean, custom branded intake portals. Encryption applies from the first byte which keeps inbound data protected and tidy.
👁️
Access Tracking
Admins can see who touched each record, for how long and from where. That visibility helps enforce least privilege behaviour across teams and partners.
🔑
Multi Factor Authentication
Add a second verification step to accounts. It shuts down casual credential reuse and protects sensitive stores from simple compromises.
No Public File Links
Public URLs invite accidental exposure. MX disables that route so stored data only moves through authenticated sessions and named recipients.

FAQs

1
Technology, Security & Compliance
Why is MX suitable for small business file sharing?

MX is built to make secure file sharing straightforward for small businesses that don’t have large IT teams. Unlike consumer cloud drives that leave files sitting indefinitely, MX centers on controlled, temporary transfers. That reduces exposure and cuts complexity. Small firms get enterprise-grade protection without the burden of heavy infrastructure.

  • No Complicated Setup: Cloud deployment means you can start sharing in minutes.
  • Affordable Tiers: Pricing adjusts with usage, keeping it accessible for smaller companies.
  • Audit Ready: Logs are built in, so you can show responsible handling without extra tools.

For growing teams, MX balances usability with strong safeguards, helping staff share documents safely without resorting to risky workarounds like personal email. See how other businesses are using MX in our Case Studies.

How does MX keep small business data safe?

MX protects files using its quantum secure patented methodology, which goes further than standard encryption. Data is anonymized, split into shards, and then reassembled only for approved recipients. Intercepted pieces are useless on their own. For small businesses handling client information, that level of defense builds immediate trust.

Key protections include:

  • End-to-End Encryption: AES 256-bit applied during upload, download, and at rest.
  • Access Control: Named-user permissions replace risky open links.
  • Automatic Expiry: Files are retired on schedule, keeping exposure low.

According to Varonis, the average business shares files with more than 800 external domains, often without proper safeguards. MX stops that by restricting access to authorized parties only. Learn more on our Features page.

Does MX help small businesses meet compliance obligations?

Yes. MX supports compliance with frameworks such as HIPAA, CCPA, SOX, GLBA, and NIST 800-171. For small businesses, a single misstep can be costly. MX gives you practical controls that make governance easier without hiring a dedicated compliance team.

  • Audit Trails: Every transaction is logged and exportable for review.
  • Policy Controls: Admins can enforce expiry rules and download restrictions.
  • Data Sovereignty: Choose storage regions that align with regulatory requirements.

MX doesn’t certify compliance on its own, but it provides the building blocks businesses need to show responsible handling. For more details, visit our pages on HIPAA and NIST 800-171.

Is MX more secure than free or consumer-grade cloud tools?

Yes. Free consumer services like Dropbox or Google Drive often rely on open links that remain active longer than intended. MX closes this gap with named-user access only, automatic expiry, and strong encryption. That prevents forgotten files from being available months later.

  • Reduced Exposure: Files don’t stay open-ended in the cloud.
  • Client Confidence: Sharing through a branded secure portal builds trust.
  • No Size Caps: Send large files without restrictions, unlike many free tools.

Research shows that 30%–80% of employees turn to personal platforms for work file transfers (SER Group). MX gives small businesses a safer path and stops risky shadow IT habits. Explore more in our Blog.

Efficiency & Business Value
How does MX save small businesses time compared to regular cloud drives?

Small teams often waste hours each week chasing lost files, recreating expired links, or sorting through messy shared drives. MX avoids that by focusing only on secure file transfers instead of permanent storage. Each exchange is logged, controlled and temporary, which removes the headaches of version sprawl and forgotten folders.

  • Fast Access: Recipients know exactly where to collect files without digging through archives.
  • Less Rework: Clean handoff reduces duplication and confusion.
  • Simplified Oversight: Owners get instant confirmation that deliveries are complete.

According to 6sense, nearly 40% of business data uploaded to the cloud is for file sharing. MX streamlines that process, saving time and improving daily efficiency. See more benefits on our Features page.

Can MX help reduce costs for small businesses?

Yes. Cloud storage costs often rise quickly as data builds up, pushing businesses into higher-priced plans they don’t need. MX is designed differently. Files are exchanged securely then retired, so you only pay for essential transfer activity instead of endless storage space.

  • No Expanding Archives: Data doesn’t pile up on servers, keeping costs predictable.
  • Lower Compliance Expenses: Simpler audits reduce professional service fees.
  • Reduced Breach Risk: Less stored data means fewer potential liabilities.

IBM notes that the average cost of a data breach now exceeds $4.45 million globally (IBM). For small businesses, prevention is far cheaper than recovery. Explore pricing on our Pricing page.

Does MX make small businesses look more professional to clients?

Yes. Instead of sending sensitive files through free services or bulky email attachments, MX lets small businesses share through a secure, branded portal. This shows care, professionalism and awareness of compliance—qualities clients value when choosing a supplier.

  • Branded Experience: White-labeling makes MX feel like part of your business.
  • Trust Factor: Clients gain confidence from encryption and controlled access.
  • Reputation Boost: Avoids the impression of relying on casual free tools for serious data.

Research shows 74% of small businesses believe customer trust directly impacts their growth (Salesforce). MX helps build that trust by ensuring every exchange feels secure and professional. Read more in our Case Studies.

Setup, Support & Integration
Is MX easy for small businesses to set up?

1. Quick Deployment: MX is cloud-native, so there’s no need for servers or complicated prep work. Small businesses can begin secure file transfers within hours of activation without heavy onboarding costs.

  • Simple Admin Tools: Add users, set permissions and define file expiry in just a few clicks.
  • No IT Burden: Designed for teams that don’t have specialist staff on hand.
  • Step-by-Step Guides: Clear resources walk you through the essentials.

Because MX is focused on file exchange instead of storage, setup is lighter and faster than typical cloud drives. To see for yourself, start a Free Trial.

Does MX work alongside existing business tools?

1. Complementary Approach: MX isn’t a replacement for productivity suites like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. It runs in parallel, adding the secure transfer layer those platforms don’t provide. Teams can continue using Word or Google Docs to create content, then hand off final versions through MX for compliance and traceability.

2. Flexible Connections: MX’s metadata APIs let you link file transfers into other workflows—like CRMs, invoicing platforms or regulated portals—without forcing disruptive changes to daily routines.

  • Parallel Use: Keep your current tools, add MX only where secure exchange is needed.
  • Workflow Fit: Integrates cleanly into existing processes with no new software required for staff.

For more examples of workflow alignment, see our article Collaborate with Confidence.

What support options are available for small businesses?

1. Standard Support: All MX customers get access to a knowledge base, FAQs and ticketing support. This is ideal for small businesses that don’t have in-house technical expertise.

2. Optional Upgrades: As businesses grow, enhanced packages provide dedicated account managers and guaranteed response times. This ensures continuity even as data volumes expand.

  • Knowledge Base: Quick answers for everyday user questions.
  • Email & Ticketing: Responsive help with compliance or technical issues.
  • Enterprise Options: Scalable support for firms that expand their use of MX.

For help, visit our Contact page or check Pricing tiers for available support levels.

Can MX reflect my company’s brand identity?

1. White Labeling: MX offers branding features so small businesses can present a polished, consistent image. Clients see your logo, colors and domain, not a generic third-party service.

2. Trust & Differentiation: For smaller firms, looking as professional as larger competitors is critical. A branded MX portal shows that you treat data handling with care, which builds client confidence and helps you stand out.

  • Logos & Colors: Apply your corporate style across portals.
  • Custom Domains: Deliver MX through your own URL for a seamless experience.
  • Client Assurance: Reinforces trust during sensitive exchanges.
