Rating Stars Image 4.5

FileCloud empowers your company to take on architecture, engineering, and construction projects with sophisticated and scalable support. Build customer rapport, facilitate smooth submission of permits and permissions, communicate with contractors and subcontractors with ease to finalize estimates, and work on plans and schematics with your cross-functional teams in real-time, all without missing a beat. FileCloud is a comprehensive tool that can be implemented as a primary platform or easily integrated into existing IT infrastructure for architecture file sharing.

FileCloud ServerSync

Files and permissions stored on Windows file servers on-premises are easily synchronized to the cloud server. With this hybrid architecture, copies of files, as well as their permissions between the cloud and on-premises storage, are maintained in complete sync. The hybrid-cloud approach helps with traditional LAN access when accessing files on-premises and cloud access when off-site or working remotely. On-premises hosting provides low latency access whereas cloud storage offers scalability and redundancy while streamlining file sharing for engineering.

AutoCAD preview with FileCloud

AutoCAD Viewer

To make work even simpler, users are now able to preview AutoCAD files in FileCloud. AutoCAD files contain designs and blueprints and other important details like processes and materials.

To enable this feature, admins must set up an integration between FileCloud and Autodesk Viewer (in both applications). Once integrated, you can preview an AutoCAD file in FileCloud using Autodesk’s file viewer.

A Digital Platform for Collaboration

FileCloud provides the tools needed to boost content collaboration and security for construction, architecture, and engineering enterprises, even with slow or inconsistent connectivity at active job sites. With FileCloud, you can utilize file sharing for any number of files delivering real-time access to files, blueprints, schematics, and designs for every project.

Record Management Platform

Rising regulations and legal mandates require that sensitive documents are stored and shared across secure environments. FileCloud’s enterprise record management platform efficiently manages records throughout the content lifecycle, from creation and distribution to archival and deletion. The records management system is responsible for identifying information like document files, emails, digital documents, photos, audio recordings, contracts, images and videos, from internal or external sources. The appropriate records management policy is applied to each record, and admins have the ability to fetch and export records when required to support legal proceedings or internal processes.

Remote Access

Project teams need to access large CAD/CAM files, photos, and blueprints from anywhere to perform their daily work. FileCloud’s file sharing architecture offers multiple ways to access your organization’s files securely: Web, Desktop Sync, FileCloud Drive, Mobile Apps and WebDAV. Mobile offline sync enables file access from tablets even without the internet.

ServerSync - Hybrid Cloud

FileCloud ServerSync is an industry remote office solution that addresses latency and high availability requirements of companies with remote job sites. ServerSync is a FileCloud add-on that maintains file versions and permissions between the cloud and on-premises storage for construction engineering companies.

Superior Security

Public SaaS File Sharing offerings are prone to spoofing and ransomware attacks. In contrast FileCloud’s distributed architecture, built-in antivirus scanning and malware detection, two-factor authentication, and powerful encryption for data at rest and in transit ensure file sharing for architecture firms is protected across all devices.

Governance & Compliance Features

FileCloud supports a wide variety of compliance requirements like GDPR and ITAR. Advanced controls and detailed activity logs (who, what, when, where, how) help manage and secure organization data across devices. Unchangeable audit logs can be exported easily into CSV files for internal review or external governance requirements.

Easy Integration

FileCloud offers easy integration with existing corporate IT systems (Active Directory, NTFS File permissions, Network Shares, ADFS, NTLM SSO). Our powerful API’s make any integration with your line of business apps a breeze.

Maximum ROI

Leverage your existing on-premises IT infrastructure to run your own on-prem file sharing and sync solution. Businesses with critical data benefit by storing data in-house to minimize data security threats and meet compliance requirements.

Granular File & Folder Sharing

Share the files and folders you want to share and prevent unauthorized access with granular sharing permissions. You can restrict access to specific users or user-groups, adjust read/write/edit permissions, send password-protected share links, set link expirations or download limits, and revoke access at any time.

Real-Time Collaboration

Built-in Document Preview and Quick Editing of Documents from the web browser simplify collaboration. Add comments to files to keep everyone in the loop. Lock (check-out) files while editing to prevent unexpected overwrites. File versioning ensures you can recover files in the event of accidental overwriting or deletion.

Smart Classification and DLP

FileCloud provides a content classification engine that combines with custom metadata to create seamless data leak protection (DLP). Uploaded documents can be scanned for certain types of data, including metadata pattern sets, file types and size, and user activity. The Smart Classification system can automatically apply relevant metadata tags as well as retention policies and access permissions/restrictions. With DLP enabled, you can rest easy knowing that your confidential client documents and government files are shielded from unauthorized access.

FileCloud and Third Party Integrations

FileCloud understands the value of being able to work with familiar tools and platforms. That’s why we provide support for both widely popular and industry-specific applications. Customize FileCloud to best suit your needs across enterprise mobility, storage, productivity, communication, SSO and identity management, antivirus software, and SIEM.
