CodeLathe knows that governance is also evolving, and as requirements change, our software is flexible enough to handle the new requirements.

In addition to new features, FileCloud users will also notice how much faster FileCloud responds to your requests.

Many other improvements have been completed to provide users with an even richer experience, especially to the Sync and Drive clients that synchronize data with FileCloud.
