Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered.
- How is Orangedox different from Fordata Data Rooms?
- Fordata Data Rooms is a traditional VDR platform designed for managing M&A, due diligence, and secure document sharing. Orangedox, by contrast, is built specifically for Google Drive and Dropbox users, offering real-time syncing, advanced document tracking, and transparent flat-rate pricing for deal and due diligence workflows.
- Does Orangedox integrate with Google Drive and Dropbox?
- Yes. Orangedox connects directly to Google Drive and Dropbox, syncing files automatically in real time. Fordata requires documents to be uploaded manually to its platform, so updates in Drive or Dropbox won't sync automatically.
