Virtual data rooms are utilized to facilitate critical business transactions and mission-critical processes in which the safe, secure sharing of files is crucial for achieving success. They remove the risks associated with physical storage and provide the most convenient and cost-effective alternative to expensive physical meeting business documentation rooms and remote file sharing tools like email, Google Drive or Dropbox. VDRs also come with a fixed monthly or transactional pricing and are cloud-based. This makes them cheaper than physical rooms, which require office space, storage, and management.
