On the one hand, Triofox adds traditional file server functionality to Amazon S3. On the other hand, Triofox adds cloud features such as secure remote access, mobile file sharing, and data protection to existing Windows file servers while addressing enterprise concerns about security, privacy, compliance, and control. Regardless of where your data resides, Triofox makes it easy for remote workers to access data for their work without the need for a VPN.

As more companies adopt a work-from-home policy, mobile workers are looking for an easy way to access corporate file servers protected by the Windows infrastructure. There are many Windows file server features such as drive mapping, file locking, Active Directory and NTFS permissions that we use on a daily basis. However, when it comes to storage services and applications, there is also Office 365 OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Azure Files, Dropbox, Box, ShareFile, etc., public cloud storage services that compete with Windows file servers for your data. However, for various reasons, such as data ownership or business applications that had to run on the Windows file server, Windows file servers are still the storage and collaboration solution for your business. Should you abandon your Windows file server and adopt these public cloud storage services? Or should we add modern cloud services to Windows File Server and offer Amazon S3 as an additional option for centralized data storage?

You have tried VPN, FTP or WebDAV, but none of them are the right solution. Your mobile workforce prefers a Dropbox- or OneDrive-like modern access solution that combines web browser, desktop/laptop and mobile access while integrating with Active Directory infrastructure.

Triofox integrates web browser, desktop/laptop and mobile access with data protection for your Windows file servers and Amazon S3 storage! The Triofox solution provides drive mapping and file locking, as well as mobile app and web browser access for mobile workers, without the need for a VPN. The solution also simplifies work-from-home security by integrating with zero-trust networks.

There are several benefits. First, Triofox provides an interface for mapping drives via the HTTPS protocol, so the end user does not need additional training, since everyone at work knows a mapped drive in Windows Explorer. Second, the Windows device, Mac device, web browser, and mobile apps form consistent client agent sets for remote and mobile file access. Since this is consistent, it is convenient and productive. Third, unlike VPN tunnels that traverse from unmanaged remote devices to the corporate network and potentially increase the cybersecurity attack surface, the Triofox solution restricts the incoming protocol to HTTPS and forwards it to either Amazon S3 or file servers. The end result is a more secure yet more productive way to access corporate data stores.
