FileCloud: A Premier Replacement for Citrix ShareFile

Best Citrix Alternative

A holistic content collaboration solution, FileCloud exceeds the set of features offered by Citrix ShareFile. FileCloud focuses on security, reliability, ease of use, and accessibility. Its robust compliance capabilities take the manual work out of adherence to regulations like ITAR, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Smooth Customization Options

FileCloud facilitates all your organizational needs. Apply your company’s logo, login screens, and terms of service, and run FileCloud on your custom domain. Admins can control user groups, set file and folder access, and assign password-protected permissions or restrictions whenever required.

Unparalleled ROI with FileCloud

FileCloud offers high ROI through innovative, enterprise-grade features and seamless integrations. Unlike Citrix, you can self-host FileCloud on-premises for easy, secure access. A leading Citrix ShareFile competitor, FileCloud also offers a server-sync function without restrictions.

Why FileCloud Stands Out in Comparison to Citrix ShareFile

Citrix ShareFile for Enterprise Sync was discontinued. FileCloud’s ServerSync converts your Windows file servers into a powerful enterprise file sharing and sync platform. ServerSync seamlessly syncs files and permissions between on-premises storage and a remote cloud site. This enables a hybrid cloud approach that allows traditional LAN access when on-premises, and cloud access when off-site or remote. This is a feature seldom provided by Citrix ShareFile competitors.

Additional Benefits of Choosing FileCloud Over ShareFile

FileCloud has a powerful Admin Portal with enhanced security features for enterprises. You can access, share, synchronize, and install client software, and work on your organization’s files from any device. For enterprises who are looking for a robust alternative to Citrix ShareFile security, FileCloud is simply the best solution. With FileCloud, you have unlimited storage and 100% control over your data. This is why thousands of FileCloud’s customers trust us over other EFSS solutions. Citrix ShareFile backup has limited storage space, as compared to the unrestricted storage offered by FileCloud.

Do you need more workflow features to power your enterprise tasks? Get role-based access, metadata management, and highly granular access control and permissions. FileCloud also offers Active Directory support and remote access to existing Windows File servers, preserving user NTFS permissions and full text search for easy use.

Robust Protection for Enterprise Data

FileCloud secures your files with encryption protocols, two-factor authentication (2FA), and automatic anti-virus scanning. With its comprehensive set of security features that are consistently updated to reflect industry needs, FileCloud empowers your enterprise to safeguard its data. You can easily integrate FileCloud with Office and Outlook add-ons to edit documents in the browser, share large files on the go, and use documents through office mobile apps from your smartphone. This makes FileCloud a flexible solution for implementing security controls across a range of enterprise apps.

FileCloud’s Added Benefits

If you are not already convinced that FileCloud is the best among Citrix ShareFile alternatives, let’s see what else FileCloud has to offer. Further advantages include centralized device management, policy management, federated search, role-based access, workflows, powerful admin reports, metadata management system, selective sync, virtual drive, unlimited storage, enhanced security features, endpoint backup, and built-in ransomware protection. FileCloud’s flexible range of features to suit all enterprise infrastructures and needs, as well as its ability to scale easily, gives it a significant edge over other alternatives to ShareFile.
