FileCloud - Trusted by 1000s of Organizations across 90 Countries

Self Hosted, Cloud, or Hybrid Deployment

FileCloud offers flexible deployment options for enterprises. Self-host with on-premises storage (FileCloud Server), allow FileCloud to host in the cloud (FileCloud Online), or leverage a hybrid solution, which can be used to enable cloud-like access to local storage (HDD, NAS/SAN). FileCloud can also be integrated with S3 or OpenStack object storage to create public cloud infrastructure.

Robust Security

Modern IT infrastructure requires dynamic cybersecurity. FileCloud offers advanced encryption for data at rest (256-bit AES) and in transit (SSL/TLS 1.3), as well as two-factor authentication (2FA) and Single Sign-on (SSO) for identity authentication, AD/LDAP integration for a streamlined IT infrastructure stack, comprehensive audit trails to track user and file activity, antivirus and ransomware protection, and endpoint security.

Collaboration & Remote Access

Enterprises can leave collaboration bottlenecks in the past by deploying FileCloud. The centralized administration ensures that secure data policies are enabled in the backend, while users can leverage granular sharing permissions, public and private sharing options, workflow automation, unlimited versioning, and smart notifications to collaborate remotely and in real time.

Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) with FileCloud

FileCloud’s EFSS platform — available as an on-premises or cloud deployment — empowers organizations to securely access, share, and sync files across devices and locations. Our solution simplifies collaboration, boosts productivity, and offers enterprise-grade security, compliance, and administrative control.

By providing a centralized, scalable, and intuitive file management system, FileCloud enables businesses to streamline workflows, drive innovation, and maintain a competitive edge in today’s dynamic digital landscape.

What is Enterprise File Sync and Share?

EFSS is a secure, scalable solution that enables teams to access, sync, and share files across devices and locations. It supports collaboration by ensuring users always work with the latest version of documents, while maintaining strict security and compliance controls.

EFSS solutions typically include role-based access permissions, encryption, audit logs, and integration with enterprise systems such as identity providers, content repositories, and cloud infrastructure. These capabilities help organizations maintain control over sensitive data while enabling efficient workflows.

How Does EFSS Work?

EFSS platforms like FileCloud operate by continuously syncing files between a secure central repository and user-authorized devices, ensuring real-time access to up-to-date information. When a file is modified, those changes are automatically replicated across connected devices, eliminating version conflicts and improving team coordination.

These systems use granular permission settings to manage access rights, ensuring that only authorized users can view, edit, or share content. Files can be shared both internally and externally through secure links, with additional safeguards like password protection, expiration dates, and detailed access controls. Advanced logging, policy enforcement, and integration with identity providers help ensure that data access remains transparent, compliant, and fully auditable.

Why Use a Secure EFSS Solution?

Implementing a secure EFSS solution is critical for businesses navigating today’s data-intensive environment. A robust EFSS system ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information by providing end-to-end encryption, granular access controls, and comprehensive audit trails.

This not only protects against data breaches and helps maintain regulatory compliance but also empowers seamless and secure collaboration among employees. They can share, sync, and access files from any location or device with confidence, ultimately boosting productivity while mitigating significant cyber risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the key security features of a robust EFSS solution?

A strong EFSS solution provides multiple layers of security. Look for features such as end-to-end encryption (for data at rest and in transit), two-factor authentication (2FA), granular access permissions (controlling who can view, edit, or share files), comprehensive audit logs for tracking all file activity, data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities, and integration with identity providers for secure user authentication.

Can EFSS solutions integrate with my existing IT infrastructure?

Yes, one of the primary benefits of enterprise-grade EFSS solutions is their ability to integrate seamlessly with your existing IT environment. This often includes compatibility with Active Directory, NTFS permissions, existing storage systems, and other enterprise applications via open APIs. This integration streamlines user management, access control, and overall workflow.

What deployment options are available for EFSS solutions?

EFSS solutions typically offer flexible deployment models to suit diverse enterprise needs. Common options include on-premises deployment: (hosting the solution entirely within an organization's own data center), cloud deployment (a fully managed service hosted by the EFSS provider), and hybrid deployment (a combination of both on-premises and cloud components).

How does EFSS enhance collaboration within an enterprise?

EFSS significantly boosts collaboration by ensuring all users are working with the most up-to-date versions of documents, minimizing version conflicts. Features like real-time file synchronization, secure sharing links, commenting, and version control enable teams to work together efficiently from any location or device. It centralizes file access, making it easier for distributed teams to coordinate and share information securely.

What's the importance of administrative control in an EFSS solution?

Centralized administrative control is vital for data governance and security. It allows IT administrators to manage users, roles, and permissions effectively, monitor file activity, enforce security policies, and maintain compliance. This level of control helps prevent unauthorized access, ensures data integrity, and simplifies auditing.
