Our approach to enterprise file-sharing and sync solutions soars far above our competitors’, in satisfying your enterprise’s needs — easy and quick access to your files without compromising privacy, security and control. Still not convinced? Read on for more detail about these fundamental areas of difference:
Document Quick Edit - FileCloud’s Quick Edit feature supports the extensive editing of files such as Microsoft® Word, Excel®, Publisher®, Project® and PowerPoint® — directly from your personal devices. Simply select a document to edit from FileCloud Web UI, edit the document using Microsoft Office, save and let FileCloud take care of the rest: uploading the new file version to FileCloud, syncing to your servers, sending notifications, sharing updates with your team, and the like.
Embedded File Upload Website Form - FileCloud’s Embedded File Upload Website Form feature lets you embed a small FileCloud interface onto any website, blog, social networking service, intranet, or any public URL that supports HTML embed code. Using the Embedded File Upload Website Form, you can easily allow file uploads to a specific folder within your account. This File-Drop Box lets your customers or associates send any type of file without the hassle of logging in or creating an account.
Unified Device Management Console - FileCloud’s unified device-management console provides simplified control over devices that can access enterprise data, regardless of device ownership, mobile platform or device type. Manage and control the permissions of thousands of iOS and Android devices in FileCloud’s secure, browser-based dashboard. FileCloud’s administrator console is intuitive and easy to pick up. FileCloud’s MDM works on any vendor’s network — even if the managed devices are on the road, at a café, or used at home.
Device Commands and Messaging - Ability to send on-demand messages to any device connecting to FileCloud, provides administrators a powerful tool to interact with the enterprise workforce. Any information on security threats or access violations can be easily conveyed to the mobile users. Plus, all messages are sent without any SMS cost!
Amazon S3/OpenStack Support - Enterprises wanting to use Amazon S3 or OpenStack storage can easily set it up with FileCloud. This feature not only provides your enterprise with the flexibility to switch storages, but also makes the process of switching extremely easy.
SAML -FileCloud supports a SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) based web browser Single Sign On (SSO) service. This provides full control over the authorization and authentication of hosted user accounts that can access your FileCloud web interface.
Multi-Tenancy Support - Managed service providers (MSPs) can use a single instance of FileCloud to serve numerous customers. The key value of FileCloud multi-tenant architecture is that while providing multi-tenancy, the data separation among different tenants is also maintained. Moreover, each tenant enjoys the flexibility of customized branding as data separation remains intact.
Endpoint Backup: FileCloud provides the ability to backup user data from any computer running Windows, Mac or Linux to FileCloud. You or your team can set up scheduled backups so that FileCloud automatically and regularly backs up selected data.
At half the price of Varonis Datanywhere, FileCloud offers more features and more value — allowing your enterprise to maximize productivity while minimizing costs. Every good enterprise needs a great file-sharing solution. Let us be yours.
Here’s a comprehensive comparison that shows why FileCloud stands out as the best EFSS solution.
