Pros
Pro Simple Document Feedback
Amazon Zocalo lets users quickly access and gather feedback on files. Users can comment on files, send them to others for feedback, and upload new versions without emailing files as attachments. Teammates can leave comments by highlighting a section of a file, or specific text, and typing feedback. Users can set optional deadlines for feedback, track files that are out for review, and are notified by email when they have been asked to provide feedback. Amazon Zocalo automatically stores previous versions of every file so that users do not have to. Amazon Zocalo uses an innovative overlay technology that enables users to see all the comments from others that they have been working with consolidated in one place. Microsoft Word users who prefer working with comments directly in a Word document can download a version of the document with the comments included.

Cons
Con Currently in Limited Preview
Con Not a well known company
Con Software develoment has bad QA
The fact the mapping issue even exists is a token of bad QA in software development.
Con Adds drivemapping without asking
The desktop app adds a P: drivemapping without asking for confirmation. Dangerous (not to say totally irresponsible) in case you already have a drive mapped.
