Why FileCloud is the Best Nextcloud alternative?

Better Features Than Nextcloud

FileCloud is also an on-premise solution like Nextcloud but gives you more control over your data and more security and compliance features. FileCloud also provides seamless collaboration, secure file exchange, and mobility compared to Nextcloud. With top of the line features like full text search, ransomware protection, powerful admin controls and better customer support, FileCloud is undoubtedly the best alternative to Nextcloud.

Fits Every Organization

FileCloud offers customization to use your own logo and custom login screen, as well as unlimited external user (partner/client) accounts. Branding features are only available as a separate add-on with Nextcloud.
FileCloud can also be scaled according to your organization’s needs, so your platform fits with your operations. Deploy FileCloud as an on-prem, cloud, or hybrid solution, and take advantage of our best-in-class support and Professional Services offerings to streamline the integration process.

Best Nextcloud Alternative

FileCloud offers a powerful admin interface allowing user management, analytics and reports, role-based access, connected device management, full audit logs, and much more. FileCloud also offers data loss prevention in form of remote wipe, recycle bin, endpoint backup, view-only file shares, and options to roll back to previous versions. These features and others make FileCloud an unparalleled alternative to Nextcloud.
