If a business decides it is interested in using a virtual room, they need two primary features such as secure storage of their documents or files and easy access by team members. Based on the industry and project as well as the number of users, and the length of time it is possible to choose different pricing options for a VDR like per-page pricing, per-user pricing, pricing based on size of storage or a monthly flat cost.
