Best File Sharing with FileCloud

Factors to determine which file sharing service is the best?

1. First and foremost, you must think about the security aspect of your files. Security in the cloud is a crucial aspect to be considered when you are sharing files in the cloud. And when you are sharing files with others, it is a must to have authorization policies in place to secure the files. You should be able to securely access files via the web and other devices. Whilst doing this, you should be concerned about the data leakage prevention and digital rights management. You should be able to have the user group hierarchy and add roles the, then add policies over these to provide proper authorization policies. The secure access to the files is considered with having proper authentication mechanisms as well for the file sharing solution. It is ideal that it has SAML SSO, but on top of that should give more control over authentication for the user with multi-factor authentication.

2. The other security aspects come with the compliance requirements. Wherever you organization is established in the world, if you are doing any business all over the world, you should be thinking about regional compliance requirements. Your file sharing solution should be able to adhere to these specific requirements such as ITAR, GDPR, HIPAA, FINRA, and other compliance standards.

3. Another aspect is protecting your business-critical data. As we have talked about in the security section as well, we need to have proper controls over who has the access to the data with data leakage management. The administrators of the file sharing system should have the capability to control all the actions that are done by the users. Administrators should have the authority to control certain actions if they think those would affect the integrity of the files. The administrators should be able to control over all the connected devices and do any remote wipes where necessary if those devices get stolen and misplaced.

4. Audit trails is another aspect of security that any file sharing system should have. Fully enabled audit logs can tell who did what and when. It is very easy for the administrators to look at the log files and understand any threats.

5. Another aspect of the best files sharing system if the ability to integrate with any systems easily. The file sharing system should be able to integrate with network shares, active directory, NTLM SSO as well as seamless integration with NTFS file system permissions. The file sharing system should also expose an API to integrate with any other necessary system when the customer needs customizations to their system for further development.

6. Another most important aspect is to maximize your return on investment. When you are using a file sharing system, you should be able to leverage your existing infrastructure. Building on top of that is the best solution to go with. When your system is compliance-friendly, it will benefit the ROI in turn as well by adhering to the regulations. You should be able to fit your need based on the given options by the file sharing system in terms of pricing. There should be a fit for the different needs of your business.
