Rating Stars Image 4.6

Most architectural firms work on-premise; architects and ground staff rarely rely on remote work. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has thrown all that for a loop. Businesses marked as non-essential have been forced to close their doors, and countless teams have been thrown into unfamiliar work situations. We at FileCloud know how difficult it can be to adjust to telework, so we’re here to help! Whether you’re an architect, own an architectural firm, or work at one, FileCloud guarantees a remote working solution customized to fit your business needs.

Does This Sound Like You?

There’s an easy way out for architecture firms needing secure remote enterprise file-sharing! A reputable remote office solution such as FileCloud can give you and your team the chance to take your business to the next level, and all from home! Give your staff selective, secure and easy access to terabytes of data stored in on-premise file servers and storage applications, for an affordable price.

A Detailed FileCloud Benefit List for Remote File Sharing

  • Accessibility – Accessibility is one of the prime features of remote file sharing. Regardless of whether you’re in your office, kitchen, or an Uber, you’ll be able to access all your data at any time as long as you have the right permissions; all without going through the hassle and expense of maintaining a VPN.
  • NTFS Security Integration – All of your existing NTFS permissions will automatically be integrated into FileCloud to ensure that you never have to waste time recreating user access conditions.
  • Mapped Drive & Mobile Apps – All drives on different devices, even mobile apps, can be accessed through a mapped network drive that imitates a local drive. Minimal local storage space is required, while maintaining maximized user-friendliness.
  • Anti-Virus Protection and Ransomware Protection – Trusted remote file-sharing systems utilize high-end antivirus protection and ransomware gueard to ensure that no data is left unprotected, and that there are no chances of a security breach occurring.
  • Data Leak Prevention – Other than data breaches, the chances of data leaks are also minimized by tightening security measures. FileCloud systems provide smart DLP protection to control all user actions (download, shares, logins) based on IP addresses, user types, groups, email domains, folder paths, document metadata and more.

Secure Remote Access from Anywhere

Get quick and easy drive access from anywhere, anytime, from both inside your office (LAN) and from the comfort of your own home (WAN). Access your data as though it were in a local disk with our drive clients.

Powerful Audit Trial

Architecture - Use Case, Remote File Access

Large architecture firms often consist of:

  • Approximate Employees – 2600
  • Approximate Offices – 26

As such, the following challenges may arise:

  • Collaborative work between a huge number of employees can be messy and chaotic without the right tools
  • Working from home can be unfeasibly slow, especially if the requirement of local data storage is high
  • Teaching every employee the workings of a complex mechanism involving connecting/disconnecting VPN is difficult
  • End-users are already familiar with mapped drives used within the company and may resist change


Steps you can take to ensure business runs as usual:

  • Video/photo-sharing instead of visits
  • Communication web-conferences, phone calls, and web meetings
  • Updates and critical information shared through webcasts
  • Usage of a unified platform (remote file-sharing system) to connect the teams and projects in real-time, so that no ideas or information are lost in translation.

For this architecture firm to make remote file sharing a success, it is vital to find a solution that allows connections to their on-premise server. Along with a conferencing/video call app for team meetings, it’s also important to invest in a remote file sharing solution without purchasing a costly service or any new hardware. The FileCloud team was able to get remote file access to all employees, allowing business to continue as usual in no time. All existing NTFS permissions on network folders were preserved and our existing IT infrastructure was used to get access.
