Why FileCloud?

The flexibility in everyday work is increasing. Employees only need Internet access – and can access data, applications, and services from anywhere. The parallel processing of data is possible. IT resources are spared because highly complex applications are served via the web interface. While easy access and automation is necessary, security is much more important.

Dropbox does not use encryption for your files when uploading files, hence, it is a major security risk to your enterprise data. In the past few years, Dropbox accounts have also been hacked, which is a big concern.Dropbox professional alterrnative FileCloud provides your files with end to end encryption, end-point backup, automatic anti-virus scanning and data loss prevention. FileCloud is truly the best choice among programs similar to dropbox.

Storage capacity and large file sharing

Storage capacity and IT infrastructure are no longer a problem. Bottlenecks in storage space are a thing of the past. The cloud can be adapted to the needs at any time. The construction of IT infrastructure is eliminated. Cloud computing, cloud data or cloud storage – all these terms have already found a solid use in our day to day life. With Dropbox, you may have to pay more for more storage and for lifting file size limitations. FileCloud, on the other hand, offers unlimited file size sharing, unlimited storage with business plans. Host your own dropbox alternative in your own local infrastructure.

Cloud Backup

Backup was the first major application for cloud storage. It began as an ideal way to secure domestic desktops and found its way into the company, where it now secures the terminals of employees. FileCloud offers automatic backup of your files which prevents data loss at any cost. Dropbox also doesn’t offers end-to-end encryption.

With FileCloud, one can rest assured that corporate data is well-protected on company servers and employee devices. FileCloud provides AES 256-bit encryption to store files at rest and SSL/TLS to secure tunnels for file transmission. FileCloud also provides 2-factor authentication, anti-virus scanning, and ransomware protection and multiple levels of security at each layer.

Other features offered by FileCloud similar to dropbox

FileCloud provides data access from anywhere

Similar to Dropbox, if your data is stored on the server of FileCloud, you get access to it anytime, anywhere. This is because, when you store data in a cloud, they are not on a specific device, but on the highly secured servers of the cloud provider. This allows access to the data via the Internet. All you need is a user account. Regardless of the device or location, you have access to your data.

Cloud enables collaboration with others.

Alternative to Dropbox for file sharing, FileCloud offers the ability to share data stored in the cloud with other users or to work on it together. These functions can be very useful, for example, to exchange large files with clients or to work on a document together and keep it up to date.

Cloud providers take care of the data.

If data is given to a cloud provider, it will also take care that the data is secure, so that it does not get deleted accidentally. Data backups, will, of course, make these professional providers quite different from most private users, which is a great advantage, in terms of data security.

Clouds theoretically offer unlimited storage space.

While some cloud file sharing solutions offer unlimited storage space, Dropbox is not one of them. FileCloud on the other hand gives you the option to have unlimited storage without spending a fortune.

Data Loss Prevention

Dropbox customers have faced data leaks and permanent loss in the past. Data loss may happen due to natural disasters or loss of backup servers. These events are impossible to predict and implementation of a multi-layered backup system is recommended.

FileCloud Data Loss Prevention

Secure from Hijacking

Hijackers these days are smart and can get into your personal data and interfere with your business processes. More than secure document sharing, you need processes, security compliant measures and features to regain control in case of any hijack event.
