Cloud Storage and Secure File Sharing for Schools and Universities

Secure Storage for Educators

Secure storage and sharing options are vital for any industry, but education institutes are especially tasked with handling large amounts of data for students, faculty, and staff. FileCloud offers options for cloud storage (hosted by us) and on-premises storage (self-hosted).

Board Portal Technology

It’s not only educators who can benefit from FileCloud. School boards can use FileCloud as a board portal solution as well. This allows school boards to upload/download, share, and edit sensitive information in a secure online environment that can be accessed remotely, at any time.

Automation to Save Time

On top of being a secure storage and file sharing solution, FileCloud offers a host of other benefits and features, including workflow automation and eSignature. Workflows save educators time by streamlining tedious administrative tasks like budget approvals, curriculum signoffs, and grant proposals.

FileCloud Functionalities Across Education Roles

FileCloud is a system that works for many different roles in education, including students, educators, administrators, and school board members.

For students, FileCloud is a secure document portal and digital workspace where they can upload and share papers, tests, and other files with teachers and professors. Remote access, from anywhere and any device, make it easy for students to collaborate and communicate.

Educators, from public school teachers to graduate degree professors, can leverage FileCloud to share sensitive or important data with colleagues, department heads, students, and administrators, streamlining course work review, grant applications, committee projects, and curriculum development.

Administrators and school boards can use FileCloud to store and share large files like budget documents, financial aid applications, program requirements, and student academic records. They can also use automations within FileCloud, such as the workflow automation builder, Signority eSignature, and granular access policies to streamline large-scale and long-term organizational projects and operations-related tasks.

Complete Control

Run FileCloud wherever you want: Self-hosted on-premises or connected with a cloud storage service provider such as AWS or Azure. FileCloud can also be cloud-hosted by us, allowing education institutions to host data in a preferred location without the hassle of managing the environment.

Encrypted Data, At Rest & In Transit

Cloud storage with FileCloud comes with built-in AES encryption to secure data at rest. For files in transit, admins can enable SSL or TLS protocols. For highly confidential or sensitive information, users and admins can leverage Zero Trust File Sharing®, which employs encryption of a secure container (not even FileCloud can read the data).

DLP and Remote Device Management

FileCloud’s unique capabilities to monitor, prevent, and fix data leakage ensure sensitive student and institution data is protected across all user devices. In the event of a breach, admins can leverage powerful tools such as unlimited file versioning, remote device wipe, and account blocking.

Drag & Drop File Uploads

As a private cloud storage solution for schools, universities, and education institutes, FileCloud facilitates easy-to-use file request features and anonymous file uploads support. Upload or sync files directly from desktop clients, web browser, or mobile app for a fully remote, flexible experience.

Powerful File-Sharing Features

Cloud storage for schools, universities, and education institutes supports granular file sharing through public, private, and password-protected links. Set expiration dates or download limits and apply granular folder, subfolder, and even file level permissions. Assign role based access storage, with no file size limits, built-in document preview, and view-only shares.

Metadata Management & Classification

Organize and classify documents using custom metadata sets that enable flexible, ad-hoc organization of data in mere minutes according to unique institution requirements. The classification engine can automatically scan and apply metadata tags to files for streamlined data visibility and governance.

Customization and White Labeling

FileCloud’s cloud storage portal can be custom-branded, from headers, login page images, styles, to platform messages such as email templates, notifications, and terms of service (ToS), and even calendar and language settings. For institutions with highly stylized branding, custom CSS can even be uploaded for a completely immersive visual experience.

Advanced Audit Capabilities

Comprehensive audit logs in FileCloud capture information across user and file activity, including who (user) what (files impacted), when, where (IP address) and how (mode of access). Detailed share analytics and logs can also be exported for easy platform usage management and external regulatory requirements.

Workflow Automation for Educators

Workflow automation gives educators their time back by automating tedious tasks like approvals, signoffs, and document review.

With FileCloud, it’s easy to create simple workflows with a no-code, drag-and-drop design that anyone can use—No IT experience required. Workflow Automation ensures administrative tasks get done while freeing up educators to educate.

Board Portal Solution for School Boards

In today’s online world, it’s vital that school boards have a place to share and disseminate important (and often sensitive) information in a secure environment.

FileCloud offers a totally customizable board portal that is easy to create and maintain, with enterprise-grade security. The immersive digital workspace enables remote access and unlimited external accounts.

Rigorous Retention Policies

Retention policies are an important part of data life cycle management that can have a serious impact on operations for education institutes, particularly universities and schools.

These organizations are entrusted with student PII and financial records, which is subject to data privacy regulations such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

FileCloud can optimize one component of managing data privacy: how long data is held in a system. Different retention policies ensure that only certain individuals can modify or delete files, based on a hierarchical system.
