Secure and Flexible File Sharing with Minor Setup Snags
Reviewed on Feb 03, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like FileCloud's powerful security controls and flexibility. It gives me confidence that our files are protected with strong encryption, detailed access permissions, and admin controls, while still being easy for my team to access and sync across devices. I also appreciate the option to deploy it in the cloud or on-premises, which gives us full control over our data and compliance. The balance between security, control, and usability is what stands out most to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few areas where FileCloud could be improved. First, the initial setup and configuration can be confusing, especially if you’re not very technical — it takes time to get permissions, sync settings, and integrations just right. Second, I’ve noticed occasional performance issues with sync speed, especially on larger file sets or custom environments. The mobile app feels less polished than the desktop/web experience, and some features (like advanced previews or offline access) aren’t as smooth as I’d like. Overall, these are not deal-breakers, but improving the setup experience and mobile functionality would make FileCloud much more user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FileCloud provides secure, centralized file storage and sharing, syncing files across devices, and enabling collaboration with strict access controls. It ensures compliance with data security through full control over data storage and access, reducing duplication, enhancing collaboration, and securing our data.

Secure file sharing with strong control, but admin settings and permissions can feel clunky
Reviewed on Jan 29, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is that it feels safe and under your control. You can share big files without jumping through hoops, set simple rules like "only these people can see this", and if someone leaves a project, you can cut off access fast. It’s also nice that you’re not forced into a bunch of extra tools; it's mainly about storing, sharing, and keeping track of files without the chaos.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can feel a little “IT-y.” Some settings and admin stuff aren’t super intuitive, so you might need help getting it set up right.
The interface isn’t the slickest. It works, but it can feel a bit clunky compared to the big-name file apps people are used to.
Sharing/permissions can get confusing. If you’re trying to lock things down tightly, it’s easy to second-guess whether you set access the way you meant to.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of files being spread across emails, random drives, and chat threads, it keeps them all in one spot. That saves time and cuts down on confusion. Also, You can send someone a link to a file or folder and decide what they can do (view, download, edit). That makes sharing faster without feeling risky.

Secure, Reliable, and Easy for Large File Sharing
Reviewed on Jan 28, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like FileCloud's working principle and find it very useful for my work. I appreciate that it allows me to upload and share very large files easily, and I can access these files from anywhere without problems. The security sharing controls and the ability to grant access to non-users easily are big pluses for me. I also love that large file uploads, whether it's big files, videos, CAD files, or project folders, are smooth and save me time without the error messages I get with email for files being too large. Additionally, using FileCloud with Office Suites like Microsoft 365 makes it easy for storing, sharing, and versioning Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files centrally. Finally, I personally find FileCloud easy to use, and I think it's nice for all types of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the learning curve for beginners a bit steep. The interface can feel complex at first, especially for those used to simpler tools like Google Drive or Dropbox. Some settings like permissions, user roles, and policies might take time to understand. Performance can be an issue with large folders too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use FileCloud for safely storing and sharing documents. It provides secure backup and recovery, supports large file uploads, and offers easy access with security controls, which saves time and avoids errors.
