Why FileCloud is the Best Pydio alternative?

Better Pydio alternative

FileCoud is a better Pydio cloud alternative despite Pydio being a comprehensive sync and share platform. Pydio and FileCloud both can be deployed either in a private cloud or on-premises. Unfortunately, the solution lacks the stability and maturity to keep up with the ever-evolving industry demands. Numerous bugs have been reported in the project by consumers, thereby necessitating a substitute that overcomes such shortcomings.

FileCloud Advantages

A self-hosted EFSS (Enterprise File Sync and Share) solution, FileCloud is deployable in the cloud or on-premises according to the customer’s storage preference. Like Pydio file sharing, FileCloud too provides superb security and data access. But that’s where the similarities end. FileCloud boasts many other innovative features to surpass the competition as the best Pydio alternative.

Greater ROI

Enable remote access, sync to network shares (NTFS) and ensure that you have 100% control over your data, keeping data on-premises. FileCloud provides advanced search, Metadata, workflow automation, granular permissions, tools to customize the user experience, data governance, custom workflows, monitor, and audit.
