Our organization was looking for a self-hosted EFSS solution that we completely controlled. We looked at many solutions, and even tried installing a few. We had several installation issues or weren’t satisfied with the iOS & Android Apps.

Then, we came across FileCloud and reached out to their support folks. Those guys were able to point us to the right direction. They referred us to the AWS AMI and asked us to try it.

We kicked off the new AWS EC2 instance with FileCloud AMI. It took us less than 10 minutes to get it up and running. Sometimes we overlook the ease of creating instance and running an application. All I can say is it was magical.

Amazon + FileCloud AMI = AWESOME EFSS!!

The iOS & Android Apps were slick. Although we didn’t have much of a need for the phone backup feature, but it’s a cool thing to have I think. The ability to edit documents over the phone was a really nifty feature.
