“The Portuguese Mint also has the delicate job of balancing ease of internal and external communications with security and accountability.”

- INCM

“We liked FileCloud’s pricing, comprehensive feature set (branding, encryption) and the responsive support”

- Stewart

“We picked FileCloud based on features, cost, the excellent support we received.”

- Hyconnect

"The fact that we can host our own solution like dropbox on our servers under our control is what makes this solution so great."

- President / CEO

"Having self-hosted large file sharing has been a real benefit for us for control and security on our terms. The FileCloud user interface is simple and completely web based for full functionality, which is a nice change from the most popular cloud based file sharing tools. Having sole control over our shared files and arbitrarily large disk space for those files, limited only by what a VM can be provisioned with, is a very good business result."

- IT Manager

"All stakeholders in our project, including architects, developers, administrators, and testers, seek to be able to send large documents via email links with ease. The best Active Directory-integrated file sharing platform FileCloud had emerged in that need. The performance of the VM is excellent, and we can allocate as much storage as we like with NO additional costs."
