Cloud Storage as a Network Drive
FileCloud allows you to securely map cloud storage as a network drive for secure and easy remote file access.
Access your files remotely with FileCloud’s cloud network drive for business, which allows you to securely map a drive to your work files from anywhere. It automatically picks up an available mount point in your system, and the built-in lock system makes it impossible for others to save or edit the file while you’re in it, so there’s no overlap in work.
All data transfers between users and FileCloud’s cloud network drive are fully encrypted, with the architecture of the drive implementing the best industry-standard practices. Save data and connect with the cloud as a network drive. Since the mapped network drive is similar to local drives in terms of appearance and usage, it’s incredibly easy to pick up, even for the least technologically inclined members of your team.
FileCloud offers a virtual drive that comes with the speed and safety of traditional file servers, along with the ability to access files both internally and externally.
Business activities are no longer limited to 9 to 5, nor just to the walls of your office. Today, work is happening remotely and on-the-go, which is changing our workspaces all over the world. Today, mobile professionals connect and collaborate anywhere and anytime. With the COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever are involved in remote work.
Traditional file servers make it difficult for mobile workers to access their files and folders via iPhone, iPad, Android, or other mobile device. Most of these professionals want to quickly access their files like they would on their Windows, Linux, or Mac PC. With FileCloud’s cloud storage network drive, file access in or outside the office is becoming easier and more cost-effective.

Flexibility
How much flexibility does the transition to the cloud create? A cloud-based network drive for businesses can be relocated relatively easily and converted back to a stationary network. Once IT is virtualized, it can be scaled up to be more flexible and deliver more power at peak times.
Post cloud drive mapping, performance is handled by the cloud service – and quickly taken into account for downtime – unlike internal IT. If there are serious problems or downtime issues with your existing cloud service provider, switch to FileCloud and its superior services, so that you can plan flexibly without a long lead time.
Security
What about security while migrating servers and data to a cloud provider compared to your own solutions? Public and private clouds are true bulwarks that offer advanced security tools that can better protect your data. Sophisticated IT systems and logically separate networks significantly reduce many risks. FileCloud’s hyper-secure system has all the security you need and more with 256-bit AES encryption, role-based access controls (RBAC), SSO and 2FA login options, along with ransomware protection, anti-virus protection, and granular share permissions.
