Connect to your files remotely using FileCloud Drive, which streamlines remote file access by allowing you to securely map a virtual drive to your work files from anywhere. FileCloud Drive automatically picks up an available mount point in your system like a remote network drive. The lock system makes it impossible for others to edit your files while you’re working on them, preventing conflicts. You can also limit offline downloading of sensitive files. With FileCloud Drive, all of your remote files look and work exactly like those saved on your hard drive, resulting in a highly intuitive system with minimal barriers to user adoption.

Mapped Drive for Remote File Access

FileCloud Drive allows you to share and sync files stored in your file servers from anywhere. It can securely map a network drive on a remote computer or local drive to your work files. This allows secure collaboration without VPN connection.

Automatic File Lock System

FileCloud Drive can be configured to automatically lock most file types at the server level while they are being edited. When a file lock is in place, others will not be able to save the file. This prevents version conflicts.

Automated Mount

FileCloud Drive automatically picks up an available mount point in your system for hassle-free use. You can then work on your files and move them in the same way you would if working locally. This provides an intuitive user experience while also preserving the integrity of your files.

Normal File Functionality

You can perform all the same actions (such editing, saving, and moving) on your files on FileCloud Server as you do on any Windows PC or Mac. FileCloud Drive only downloads files when they’re needed and does not store local copies. You can also limit offline downloads to protect data.

Advanced Security

Get maximum protection from email spoofing and ransomware attacks. FileCloud offers full encryption for files at rest and in transit. Two-factor authentication provides additional security. Avail of a host of further security features, including compliance features, malware detection, and Zero Trust File SharingSM.

Efficient Storage

FileCloud Drive does not consume any permanent offline storage and removes the need to manually sync local files with a central server, as this process is automated. FileCloud Drive saves time downloading and uploading files when working remotely and helps to protect the integrity of your enterprise data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do you map a network drive from a remote server?

To access a network drive remotely, open File Explorer on your computer. Right-click Network and then select Map Network Drive from the pop-up menu. Then select a letter to assign to the drive. Insert the location of the remote folder, then specify whether to connect automatically when you sign in.

How do you tell what drives are mapped remotely?

If you are the administrator of the networked drive, you can access the computer registry to find mapped drives. Search for regedit from your Start menu, then select File and Connect Network Registry. Select the remote computer and navigate to the location below to look for mapped drives:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\MountPoints2\

How do I enable remote access to my server?

From the Start menu of your computer, search for:

/open Server Manager
Click Local Server and open the system properties window in the Remote tab. Select Allow remote desktop connections. Click OK then select the users that need access to your remote system. A mapped drive such as FileCloud Drive, however, is a simpler way of enabling server access remotely.
