How to Use FileCloud Drive to Access Your File Server Both In and Out of Your Office

Cloud Network Drive

FileCloud’s cloud network drive for businesses provides easy access to on-premise and cloud enterprise files through mapped network drives. Upload your data just once and seamlessly retrieve it from any device, anytime and anywhere.

Cloud Shared Drive

Our technology makes your remote FileCloud server files available as though they were stored on your local drive. The drive fetches cloud network storage or local cloud storage files on-demand and doesn’t consume permanent offline storage, making it great for teams with space constraints and ideal for highly regulated industries.

Virtual Device/On-Demand Sync

FileCloud helps you mount remote files as local files. Files are downloaded from the cloud network map only when they are accessed and edited, so users can access all of their remote files without using too much local memory.

Cloud Storage as a Network Drive

FileCloud allows you to securely map cloud storage as a network drive for secure and easy remote file access.

Access your files remotely with FileCloud’s cloud network drive for business, which allows you to securely map a drive to your work files from anywhere. It automatically picks up an available mount point in your system, and the built-in lock system makes it impossible for others to save or edit the file while you’re in it, so there’s no overlap in work.

All data transfers between users and FileCloud’s cloud network drive are fully encrypted, with the architecture of the drive implementing the best industry-standard practices. Save data and connect with the cloud as a network drive. Since the mapped network drive is similar to local drives in terms of appearance and usage, it’s incredibly easy to pick up, even for the least technologically inclined members of your team.

FileCloud offers a virtual drive that comes with the speed and safety of traditional file servers, along with the ability to access files both internally and externally.

Business activities are no longer limited to 9 to 5, nor just to the walls of your office. Today, work is happening remotely and on-the-go, which is changing our workspaces all over the world. Today, mobile professionals connect and collaborate anywhere and anytime. With the COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever are involved in remote work.

Traditional file servers make it difficult for mobile workers to access their files and folders via iPhone, iPad, Android, or other mobile device. Most of these professionals want to quickly access their files like they would on their Windows, Linux, or Mac PC. With FileCloud’s cloud storage network drive, file access in or outside the office is becoming easier and more cost-effective.

Flexibility

How much flexibility does the transition to the cloud create? A cloud-based network drive for businesses can be relocated relatively easily and converted back to a stationary network. Once IT is virtualized, it can be scaled up to be more flexible and deliver more power at peak times.

Post cloud drive mapping, performance is handled by the cloud service – and quickly taken into account for downtime – unlike internal IT. If there are serious problems or downtime issues with your existing cloud service provider, switch to FileCloud and its superior services, so that you can plan flexibly without a long lead time.

Security

What about security while migrating servers and data to a cloud provider compared to your own solutions? Public and private clouds are true bulwarks that offer advanced security tools that can better protect your data. Sophisticated IT systems and logically separate networks significantly reduce many risks. FileCloud’s hyper-secure system has all the security you need and more with 256-bit AES encryption, role-based access controls (RBAC), SSO and 2FA login options, along with ransomware protection, anti-virus protection, and granular share permissions.

Selective Sync - Seamless Document Updates and Low Risk of Space Expiry

Selective sync lets your system automatically sync a cloud stored folder to your local device.

• With FileCloud, you have ample cloud space so the local disk space will never be affected.

• If users make updates to files stored in selective sync folders, the updates are synced with the cloud versions of the files in real time. This makes ‘working on the go’ convenient from an information management perspective.

• FileCloud Drive does not consume any permanent offline storage, making it an ideal option if you don’t want to sync all the files locally.
