Education File Sharing & Data Management with FileCloud

Educational institutions are major sources of information and data traffic. To educate the next generation, institutions need robust, secure, and flexible file sharing solutions that incorporate modern modes of data access and collaboration.

FileCloud provides a comprehensive platform that meets the unique challenges of the education sector, from managing digital resources to enabling seamless collaboration between students and faculty.

Comprehensive Security for Educational Data

Multi-layered Security
FileCloud supports a multi-layered, enterprise-grade security strategy, protecting data throughout its life cycle. Security features include end-to-end encryption, user authentication, role-based access controls, granular file sharing permissions, data privacy protection, retention policies, and detailed audit logging. This strategy has been recognized and authenticated by the Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT), and as a result FileCloud is listed in the HECVAT Community Broker Index.

Strategic Integrations
Additionally, FileCloud supports integrations with content protection applications, including antivirus scanning, ransomware protection, content disarm and reconstruction (CDR), and SIEM. These integrations protect education IT ecosystems from network breach and ransomware attacks.

Compliance Support
Not only does FileCloud help educational institutions secure and protect sensitive information, but it also provides support for compliance with key regulations, including COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR. Fine-tuned data governance, built-in security configurations, highly controlled collaboration, and automation capabilities ensure that students, faculty, and staff have access to the information they need (and no more), while blocking unauthorized file access and sharing.

Flexible Deployment

Choose between self-hosted and cloud-based deployment options to meet your institution’s specific needs and compliance requirements.

Scalable Infrastructure

FileCloud can be configured to support thousands of users with load balancing and high-availability architecture.

Advanced Authentication

Support for Single Sign-On (SSO), Active Directory integration, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) ensures secure access while maintaining user convenience.

Remote Access

Enable learning anywhere with cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices.

Role Based Access Controls (RBAC)

Granular permission settings allow institutions to restrict access based on user roles (e.g., student, teacher, administrator).

Version Control

Track changes and maintain document history with built-in version control and file recovery features.

Private File Sharing

Faculty can create secure, shared workspaces for students to collaborate on projects and set distinct user permissions to limit read, write, delete, and share activities across subfolders.

Public File Sharing

Students, faculty, and staff can publicly share files and set protections with granular permissions, password-protection, expiration dates on share access, download limits, and more.
