Many organizations are instituting work-from-home policies for non-essential employees due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Accessing and sharing files stored in internal network shares is one of the major challenges you might find you and your team needing to overcome. After all, VPN access is complicated, especially when mobile devices come into play. Staying compliant with data-security regulations can also be a challenge when new users start accessing sensitive files from home. Common problems can include:
- Getting your whole team access to large enterprise file shares and on-premises storage appliances such as EMC Isilon and NetApp Files
- Drive mapping and familiarizing end users with accessing these drives
- Allowing your team to work and access drives of sensitive data remotely
- Ransomware and anti-virus protection against malicious programs
- Keep existing NTFS access permissions and Active Directory authentication
FileCloud offers a solution that addresses all of the above, by providing secure, remote file share access – without needing a VPN – using your Windows file shares. FileCloud integrates with Active Directory and keep your existing NTFS permissions. Plus, features like our Mapped Drives, file locking, unlimited document versioning and Office 365 integration make collaboration within your team secure and seamless.
