If you have the right Internet connection, this is a GREAT file sharing tool for business use
What do you like best about the product?
Having self-hosted large file sharing has been a real benefit for us for control and security on our terms.
The FileCloud user interface is simpler and completely web based for full functionality, which is a nice change from the most popular cloud based file sharing tools. Drag and drop to copy, click to share, the URL for a file can be easily copied by any user who understands "Paste" into an email. We've had essentially no training issues.
Users have to be a member of a specific ActiveDirectory security group to have access to our FileCloud, and they use their Windows username and password to login. This makes day to day administration very straightforward. For backup, it's just another Windows VM, and Veeam does its usual fine job.
For mobile users, the client is easy enough to use, no worse or better than the other choices in the cloud, including device backup. The Outlook integration is decent, and included.
There IS a desktop client for Windows and you can even map a drive letter to it. I have a few users in remote locations using this to share network folders at the main office, it's not super fast but it is easier for them to manage than mapped drives over a VPN.
Support has been helpful and patient on the few occasions we've needed them.
Having sole control over our shared files and arbitrarily large disk space for those files, limited only by what a VM can be provisioned with, is a very good business result.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a Windows SSL certificate, be prepared to disassemble the PFX file with OpenSSL to generate compatible certificates. Any Linux admin will be familiar with this, but it's something that may be foreign to a Windows admin.
The non-critical errors in the logs look worse than they are, so why are they there?
Finally, you won't save any money hosting your own file sharing system, it's more expensive than the cheap race-to-the-bottom options in the market. If you don't have the infrastructure to host your own on-prem servers with public IP's, adding all that just for file sharing makes no business sense. The licensing is reasonable but not inexpensive, so budget wisely.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing large files and plan sets with customers who have email attachment size limits is practical and easy with FileCloud. Not having to depend on churn-and-burn file sharing services in the cloud makes us feel better about security and control over our information. Giving off-site employees access to files in a secure manner, and providing for backup from mobile devices, is icing on the cake.

Its interface is very minimalist and you can access its options with a few clicks. What I like most are the various ways in which you can access the files of the company or organization in which you work, without compromising security. It can be accessed either through a web browser, through an application on a mobile device, through a virtual disk or simply through a web browser plug-in.

What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike other online storage programs or as a server, FileCloud is mostly aimed at the business sector, so its cost is slightly higher than similar tools. The free version only lasts 14 days and must be made with an advance request. For small businesses it is a bit expensive, unless you require a security and a highly guaranteed support that justifies the cost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FileCloud is an interesting option for data storage and sharing, however, although we liked our company very much for the work we do, we don't need to pay for the price that stops us for the security of our files. We think of more common and low cost options. FileCloud is thinking for a company with a high volume of confidential content and that deserves a very secure backup.
