Secure File Sharing Server with FileCloud

In this hyper-connected, post-COVID digital age, a company’s user-generated data and intellectual property are more valuable than ever. However, with unabridged access comes heightened vulnerabilities.

Employees require tools and IT environments that support data control and security while enabling real-time file sharing and collaboration. A file sharing server software solution can help address these requirements, minimizing the risk of a breach or loss of IP while supporting collaboration.

Secure Remote File Access

Traditional file server software was extremely difficult to access using mobile devices, restricting file sharing between remote offices or globally distributed workforces.

FileCloud’s file sharing server software allows employees to securely access, store share, and back up files from any location and on any device. Users can access and work on files directly from their laptops or mobile devices with FileCloud client applications (including apps for iOS and Android).

Seamless Real-time Synchronization

FileCloud synchronizes data (including files and file permissions) across smartphones, tablets, and computers with the file server, allowing users to quickly access files without an internet connection.

By enabling local access through real-time sync, FileCloud eliminates latency, guaranteeing top-notch performance while offering flexibility. Data can also be migrated without disrupting operations or losing NTFS permissions and folder hierarchy.

Unmatched Sharing Capabilities

FileCloud’s file sharing server software offers multiple features to foster modern, ubiquitous file sharing, allowing distributed workers and partners to collaborate with each other from a single access point.

Employees can share files with a large audience by creating a public or password-protected share link (or QR code). These links can be emailed, embedded in other documents, or made publicly available via social sites or instant messaging apps. Users can also create private share links to make files available for internal collaboration with other users or user groups.

Furthermore, FileCloud’s server management software supports sharing with additional controls such as:

• Share expiration — set the share to expire after a specified period of time.
• Download limits — set the share to expire after a specified number of downloads has occurred.
• Granular permissions — set file access to include (or exclude) download, modification, deletion, or sharing.

These share permissions can be updated as needed. Furthermore, users can monitor file versions. The file owner can regulate the changes other people make to the file by setting up read, edit, view, delete or copy permissions, or even instituting a download limit.

Granular Folder Permissions

With FileCloud’s granular permissions, you set up access permissions at the folder or subfolder level based on departmental or project needs, allowing both workers and partners to securely access files from anywhere. With support for shared folder audit software, admins can enforce appropriate levels of access for every user.

Admins can also set read, write, delete, or share permissions at any folder level. For example, even if the user has permissions for some actions at a higher-level folder, a specific subfolder can have different permissions. This guarantees that each user can only view the folders intended for their projects and access them from anywhere.

Custom Branding

The FileCloud file sharing server software allows you to put your brand front and center. You can configure it to reflect a consistent brand to customers, businesses partners and your employees. Host your files on a custom domain, with customized colors and a logo, messaging, fonts, background image, and terms of service.
