FileCloud Virtual Machine is currently available via Azure Marketplace.

Using FileCloud VM on Azure,  one can host their own file share sync and mobile access solution for their organization in less than 10 minutes. The FileCloud Virtual Machine is built on top of Windows Server 2016 Data Center Edition. FileCloud stores the metadata information in MongoDB which is already pre-configured in the FileCloud Virtual Machine.
