With a diverse community of students, faculty, and staff engaged in various creative endeavors, the need for storage and sharing of large video and image files was ever-present.<\/p>\n<p>Initially relying on Google Workspace for Education, CalArts found themselves at a crossroads when Google updated their pricing tiers. The service was no longer available for free, and CalArts could only get the storage they needed at a large markup.<\/p>\n<h3>Seeking the Perfect Solution<\/h3>\n<p>As a fine arts school, students and staff at CalArts needed the option to store and share large files (including images and videos). These files serve as the backbone of collaborative projects at CalArts, which meant large file sharing and storage was a top requirement for the school.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, they also needed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A user-friendly interface that wouldn\u2019t necessitate extensive training<\/li>\n<li>Compatibility with Linux<\/li>\n<li>Access controls<\/li>\n<li>VPN-free accessibility<\/li>\n<li>Integration with Active Directory for streamlined user management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These requirements meant that CalArts needed a broad EFSS solution that also provided collaboration tools, without breaking the budget.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-at-3.19.10%E2%80%AFPM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-at-3.19.10\u202fPM.png 970w, https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-at-3.19.10\u202fPM-768x717.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\"><\/p>\n<h3>Why FileCloud?<\/h3>\n<p>After extensive research and testing, CalArts found FileCloud to be the perfect fit for their needs. Unlike other solutions, FileCloud offered unlimited storage, a familiar cloud interface,\u00a0 simple file sharing options, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/third-party-integration\/\">seamless integration<\/a>\u00a0with existing tools like Office 365 and Outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, FileCloud\u2019s granular access controls and Active Directory integration ensured efficient management of user permissions, even with frequent changes to the user population with incoming and departing students and staff.<\/p>\n<h3>The Implementation Process<\/h3>\n<p>With FileCloud identified as the ideal solution, CalArts wasted no time in moving forward with implementation. Within a matter of months, the institution had deployed FileCloud\u2019s high-availability server product, ensuring minimal disruption to their operations.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to FileCloud\u2019s intuitive design and minimal training requirements, CalArts\u2019 IT team witnessed a smooth transition, with users quickly adapting to the new platform.<\/p>\n<h3>Unleashing the Power of Collaboration and Unlimited Storage<\/h3>\n<p>With FileCloud integrated into their workflow, CalArts is able to leverage unlimited storage \u2013 students and staff no longer had to worry about running out of space for their creative endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, FileCloud\u2019s integration options with popular productivity tools like Office 365 and Google Docs make collaboration effortless.
