What is an Internet File Server?
An internet file server is a centralized data storage that is connected through an internet network where you can store and share data files with your clients and teammates. Data files can be shared with ease and without worrying about data protection. You can either opt for FileCloud’s online cloud server or on-premise file server or the best of both, a hybrid cloud storage.
Secure Remote File Access
In the hyper-connected world, employees need complete access to information and tools on the go. But with uninterrupted access comes heightened vulnerabilities. In this digital age, a company’s data and intellectual property are more valuable than ever. Employees require tools that enable them to share files without worrying about the security of that sensitive information. An internet file server software can address the requirements of the employees, as well as the business to minimize the risk of a breach or loss of IP. Traditional file servers are extremely difficult to access with modern devices, making file sharing between remote offices extremely difficult. FileCloud’s file sharing server allows users to securely access, store, share, and backup files, from anywhere, on any device. All file creations, edits or permission changes are automatically synced across all devices, so the changes are similar across devices. Desktop file access is also plausible via virtual mapped drives, allowing for the dragging and dropping of files between folders as you would on regular Windows or Mac drives.
Seamless Real-time Synchronization
FileCloud synchronizes data across devices in real-time. With ServerSync, files and permissions stored locally on a computer, on a virtual machine, or unified storage are automatically synced with the cloud file server, allowing users to quickly access files even without an internet connection. By giving users local access, FileCloud ServerSync eliminates latency, guaranteeing top performance while offering flexibility, which is very useful when collaborating on large size files. Data can also be migrated without disrupting operations or losing NTFS permissions and folder hierarchy. Since everything is synced, users can preview varying types of files with the in-built document preview option.
Unmatched Sharing Capabilities
FileCloud’s internet file sharing server software offers multiple features to foster modern, ubiquitous file sharing, allowing distributed workforce and partners to collaborate with each other from a single access point. Employees can quickly share files or publish. Files can be accessed via unique links which can be emailed, embedded in other documents, or made publicly available via social sites or instant messaging apps. Users can set shared links to expire after a specified period of time (months, weeks, or days), or after a number of clicks. Furthermore, it’s possible to monitor file versions while keeping track of who the file has been shared with. The file owner can regulate the changes other people make to the file by setting up read, edit, view, delete or copy permissions, or even instituting a download limit.
