Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface

  • April 19, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for FileCloud is that it is highly secure, so we use it for file synchronization and file sharing to replace services like Dropbox and SharePoint. We utilize it for file storage and sharing and other related tasks.

A quick specific example of how we use FileCloud for file sharing in our organization is that we have some secure data from healthcare providers. We can share those sensitive files without risking a data breach or compliance violation.

How has it helped my organization?

The positive impact FileCloud has had on my organization includes a significant reduction in licensing costs, as we can allow an infinite number of clients to work with it while only needing a license for ourselves.

What is most valuable?

The best features FileCloud offers include unlimited free guest accounts, which is a selling point for many businesses since there is no cost for giving an account. For example, if we have 20 employees and a thousand clients, we pay for only 20 licenses while clients have access without additional costs. Additionally, FileCloud has built-in Digital Rights Management, allowing us to restrict recipients from printing or copying documents or taking screenshots; we can even revoke access to a file remotely.

Furthermore, for compliance, FileCloud has built-in AI that scans files uploaded to the system for sensitive data such as social security numbers or credit cards. This allows us to set up rules that can block a user from emailing a document containing sensitive information to someone outside of the company, and we get notified in such cases.

When it comes to seeing a return on investment, the most visible metric for us is license consolidation. We calculated this by comparing the cost per collaborator against other competitors, which is the total licensing cost divided by internal users plus external guests. For instance, with 50 employees and 1,000 users, using two other services would lead to about $20 a month for each of the 1,050 users, totaling around a quarter of a million per year. In comparison, with FileCloud, we pay for only 50 licenses at about $20 each plus 1,000 guests, leading to an approximate total of $11,000 a year, representing a 95% reduction in licenses.

What needs improvement?

One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using FileCloud for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I do not recall having issues with FileCloud; it is quite stable. Its stability depends on how you deploy it, and in our case, with an on-premise deployment and stable servers, it performs reliably.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

FileCloud's scalability is effective. It scales very well for small companies to larger ones, but it depends on the hosting, whether it is a cloud service or self-hosted. In our case, with on-premise deployment, scalability requires architectural considerations such as adding more servers, separating databases from web servers, adding load balancers, and setting up MongoDB clusters.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing on-premises is rated 6 out of 10 for beginner users and 9 out of 10 for experienced system admins. The friction points included the SSL certificate, which we had to handle on our own, something we were not comfortable with, as well as setting up SMTP to allow sending forgot password or file shared emails, which required connecting our email server to FileCloud. We also needed to set up a database that required time and configuration.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Regarding cost reduction, I can say that with 50 employees and 200 clients needing access to files, using a service such as Dropbox would require paying for 250 licenses. In contrast, with FileCloud, we only pay for the 50 employees, amounting to about $750 to $1,000 a month depending on the tier, which I estimate can reduce licensing costs by 60 to 80% for companies working with outside parties.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing FileCloud, I evaluated other options such as Google Drive, Ignite, Citrix ShareFile, and Box.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others looking into using FileCloud is to conduct thorough research, starting with an exploration of other options and auditing your ecosystem. FileCloud is particularly good when you utilize the unlimited guest user feature. I would recommend not trying to self-host unless you are really comfortable with that environment. Also, focus on employee adoption from the start and consider leveraging white labeling from day one, as this is one of FileCloud's best features. Instead of using the default FileCloud branding, spend time setting up your custom domain and uploading your logos. This way, when you share a file outside of the company, users will see your portal.

I rate FileCloud a 7 out of 10 because, as a small marketing team needing to do simple tasks such as syncing Photoshop files or collaborating on a Word document, it feels excessive. The interface is clunky compared to Google Drive, and the setup is much more difficult. However, in an enterprise environment, I would rate it 9 out of 10 because for mid to large businesses, it is one of the best tools on the market with compliance, security, and cost savings making it nearly unbeatable.

Secure collaboration has transformed data governance and replaces legacy file sharing tools

  • April 18, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

FileCloud serves as our primary solution for secure enterprise file sharing and collaboration across distributed teams. We have offices in three different cities, and FileCloud acts as a central hub where everyone accesses, syncs, and shares documents without needing a VPN. We use it heavily for sharing sensitive files with external clients and vendors through controlled permission-based access. It essentially replaced both our internal file server and our client-facing FTP portal in one solution.

One concrete example involves our work with a legal client that requires strict data handling and GDPR compliance as a non-negotiable requirement. We set up FileCloud's self-hosted deployment on our own infrastructure, configured AES-256 bit encryption at rest, and enabled detailed audit logs so the client could track every single file access event. That one implementation alone helped us win a contract renewal because the client was genuinely impressed by the transparency and control. It would take months to build something similar from scratch.

What is most valuable?

The best features FileCloud offers are the smart DLP (Data Leak Prevention), the self-hosting flexibility, and the granular permission system. Smart DLP lets us define policies that actually prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization. This is not merely a checkbox feature but genuinely enforced at the content level. The self-hosting option was a deal-breaker requirement for us, and FileCloud handled it cleanly. The permission system allows me to get incredibly specific about who sees what, even down to expiry dates on shared links.

FileCloud has impacted my organization positively through a shift from reactive to proactive data security. Before FileCloud, we relied on people following email policies, which honestly does not scale. Now the platform enforces those policies automatically. Collaboration speed has also improved significantly. Teams that used to wait on IT to set up shared files can now spin up team folders themselves with the right permissions. That independence has made a real difference in major turnaround times.

What needs improvement?

One feature that does not receive enough attention is the ransomware protection. FileCloud's heuristic scan engine monitors file patterns and actually blocks suspicious behavior in real-time. We had a test incident in our staging environment, and it caught it immediately. The multi-tenancy support is also worth mentioning, especially since we manage files across multiple business units that need to be completely isolated from each other. The zero-trust file sharing feature, where you can share encrypted files that are inaccessible even during a breach, represents a genuinely forward-thinking capability.

Regarding improvements needed in FileCloud, the user interface feels somewhat dated compared to some of the newer SaaS collaboration tools available. First-time users sometimes need guidance before they feel comfortable navigating it, which adds a small onboarding overhead. The mobile app is functional, but it does not have full feature parity with the desktop version. Some of the admin-level controls simply are not available on mobile, which can be frustrating when traveling. A UI refresh would go a long way in improving first impressions.

The documentation has improved over the years, but gaps remain in more advanced configuration areas, particularly around custom workflow setups and API integration. When I was setting up the Zapier integration, I had to rely on community forums more than official documentation, which added unnecessary time. Better step-by-step guides with real-time configuration examples would be valuable, especially for teams without a dedicated DevOps resource.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with FileCloud for close to two and a half years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability has been excellent throughout our usage. In over two years of production use, we have had maybe two or three minor service interruptions, and those were typically related to our own infrastructure maintenance rather than FileCloud itself. The platform handles our daily load of around 300 concurrent users and thousands of file operations without any noticeable performance degradation. We have also completed a couple of major version upgrades, and those proceeded cleanly with no data loss or configuration drift.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability has been demonstrated effectively for us. When we expanded from 200 to 300 users last year, we scaled our underlying server resources and FileCloud adapted without any platform-level changes required. The multi-site replication capability gives us a clear path if we need to expand to additional office locations. For organizations at even larger scales, the multi-tenancy support means you are not locked into a single flat architecture. You can segment by department or subsidiary, which is significant for enterprise governance.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support has been genuinely good, better than I expected for a mid-market product. Response time on critical tickets has been fast, usually within a few hours. We have had a dedicated contact for our account who actually knows the product well and does not just read from a script. There was one complex issue with the NTFS permission sync early on, and their technical team stayed involved until it was fully resolved over a couple of days. That kind of persistence in support is something you do not always receive.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using a combination of a Windows File Server with VPN access plus a consumer-grade cloud storage tool for external sharing. The VPN was a constant pain point—slow, unreliable for remote workers, and a support burden for IT. The consumer cloud tool had zero enterprise-grade controls, and our compliance team was increasingly uncomfortable with it. When we started taking GDPR and client data security more seriously, it became clear we needed a purpose-built enterprise solution, and that is when we started evaluating FileCloud.

How was the initial setup?

The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was straightforward and competitive, especially compared to SharePoint Online licensing or some of the other enterprise EFS solutions we reviewed. We were on an annual per-user license for FileCloud Server, and the value is clear when you factor in all the features included. The initial setup took our team about a week end-to-end, including the AD integration and permission migration from our old system. Their professional services team helped with the migration plan, and that honestly prevented what could have been a messy transition.

What about the implementation team?

Active Directory integration was huge for us. Our IT team did not have to create a new set of user accounts. It simply synced with what we already had. We went with an on-premises deployment using FileCloud Server. That was a firm requirement from our legal and compliance teams. We need 100% data residency within our own infrastructure. FileCloud supports that without compromise, and we run it behind our corporate firewall. We do use AWS S3 as a secondary storage endpoint for archival purposes. In some ways, it is a light hybrid setup, but the primary deployment is fully self-hosted.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment, and the ROI became visible within the first six months. Between consolidating tools, reducing IT support overhead, and accelerating file-based workflows, we estimated roughly a 22% reduction in total cost of ownership compared to what we were spending across our previous patchwork of solutions. Productivity-wise, the time our team saved by not fighting with VPNs or waiting on IT for access provisioning in real-time has probably resulted in several hours saved per employee per month across a 300-person organization. That compounds quickly. We also consolidated three separate tools—our FTP server, a third-party cloud storage subscription, and an old backup solution—into FileCloud alone, which cut our related software spend by approximately 28%. These numbers showed up clearly in our annual IT budget review.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing FileCloud, we evaluated SharePoint Online and Citrix ShareFile. SharePoint was powerful but felt over-engineered for our file-sharing needs, and the licensing cost was steep. Citrix ShareFile was solid, but the self-hosting option felt more limited compared to FileCloud. Ignite was a strong contender, but FileCloud's pricing was more transparent and the feature set, especially the DLP and self-hosting flexibility, tipped the balance. The fact that FileCloud had a 30-day trial made the final decision far easier to justify internally.

What other advice do I have?

If you are considering FileCloud, my advice is to spend real time planning your permission structure before you go live. It is worth the upfront investment because the system is flexible enough that you have many choices, and retrofitting permissions across thousands of files is painful. Also, take advantage of the trial seriously. Do not just test file upload and download. Actually test the AD integration and DLP policies and the audit reporting. Those are the features that will matter most in a real enterprise environment, and they are where FileCloud actually distinguishes itself. FileCloud has been a reliable, security-forward platform that genuinely fits enterprise needs without trying to be everything to everyone. In our organization, we take data governance, compliance, and secure collaboration seriously, and especially if you need self-hosting flexibility, it is difficult to find a better fit in this price range. I would choose it again without hesitation. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Secure hybrid sharing has empowered controlled collaboration and improved data governance

  • April 17, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Our main use case with FileCloud has been secure enterprise file sharing and collaboration across teams. We use it to manage internal documents, share files with external clients, and maintain strict access controls.

In one project, we built a client document portal where users could upload and access sensitive files. Using FileCloud, we implemented role-based access and expiry links, which reduced unauthorized access incidents by almost 40%.

We also used FileCloud for syncing large files across distributed teams and for endpoint backups. It worked well for remote teams since people could access files from any device without needing a VPN.

What is most valuable?

One of the best features FileCloud offers is its hybrid deployment. You can run it on-premises, in the cloud, or both, depending on your compliance needs. It also offers strong data governance and encryption, which is critical for enterprise use.

FileCloud's data governance and encryption feature made a significant difference for us. When we were working with a large financial client, we had to ensure that all sensitive documents were not only encrypted but also accessed and shared in a highly controlled manner.

I really appreciate the granular sharing controls, such as password-protected links, download limits, and expiration dates. It also supports audit logs and activity tracking, which is excellent for monitoring file usage.

FileCloud has improved collaboration between our internal teams and external clients without compromising security. Teams have become more confident sharing sensitive data, which sped up our workflows.

What needs improvement?

I think the user interface could be more modern and intuitive, especially for non-technical users. Sometimes, onboarding new users requires training.

Documentation is decent but could be more developer-friendly, especially around API integrations. Debugging permission-related issues can sometimes be time-consuming.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using FileCloud for around one to two years, mainly for secure file sharing and internal document management. It came into play when we needed more control over data compared to tools such as Google Drive or Dropbox.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

FileCloud has been quite stable overall. We have had only a few downtime issues, even with large file operations and multiple users.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is quite strong in my opinion. You can scale storage and users easily, especially with hybrid or cloud setups. It handled growing team sizes without performance issues.

How are customer service and support?

Support has been responsive in most cases whenever I have interacted, especially for enterprise plans. Documentation and community support also helped resolve issues quickly.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using Google Drive and Dropbox earlier but switched because we needed more control over data and compliance.

How was the initial setup?

Setup was a bit complex initially for on-premises, but cloud setup was straightforward.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment has been solid: better data control, reduced SaaS costs, and improved productivity. Overall efficiency improved by around 20%.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated solutions such as OwnCloud, Box, and Dropbox Business. FileCloud stood out due to its hybrid deployment and security features.

What other advice do I have?

FileCloud is very strong in security and flexibility, but user experience and developer experience could be better. We use a hybrid model where some data is on-premises for compliance and some in the cloud for accessibility.

We reduced dependencies on multiple tools and saved around 20% in our overall SaaS costs. Also, file access and sharing workflows became about 25% to 30% faster.

If your organization deals with sensitive data, FileCloud is a great option. Plan your deployment strategy early, such as on-premises, cloud, or hybrid.

FileCloud is a solid, enterprise-grade solution for secure file sharing and collaboration. It gives you the control of on-premises with the flexibility of cloud, which is a significant advantage. I would rate FileCloud 9 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Remote collaboration has improved and database handling still needs better separation

  • April 17, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for FileCloud is providing customers remote access to share their data and our data for development, testing, and staging purposes. I provide clientless access for internal content collaboration.

An example of how I use FileCloud for development or testing is that we have on-premises infrastructure in which the cloud sharing is installed. In that particular environment, there are three different types of users located on our infrastructure for the tester, developer, and production environment. I have provided FileCloud to secure access through remote access VPN users for internal collaboration.

For storage access consolidation, I am using FileCloud for NAS sharing, AWS sharing, and on-premises and off-premises sharing.

How has it helped my organization?

Since using FileCloud, I have reduced the cost in our organization by at least 70% in our storage area, which shows a 70% cost optimization.

What is most valuable?

The features that stand out to me include workflow and sync improvements, as real-time sync enables faster updates, disaster recovery, unnecessary encryption, file folder structure, and 2FA and access control, which provide more reliability, automation, and monitoring backup.

The best features FileCloud offers in my experience are the internal discovery search, which is cost-effective and preserves corporate data for legal compliances and business purposes.

For our organization, the internal discovery search works in a remote work environment. The key uses for us include remote work establishment and secure external collaboration. File sharing provides ransomware protection, disaster recovery, and data governance regulation. This is beneficial for our team and our environment.

What needs improvement?

I think FileCloud could be improved because we are using different types of databases and need database separation for different types of database providers such as MongoDB, MariaDB, and MySQL. I need to reduce the load in that particular area.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using FileCloud for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

FileCloud is definitely stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

FileCloud's scalability is excellent, as it allows the organization to manage growing values without capacity constraints. It provides horizontal and vertical scaling as highly scalable hybrid cloud storage, along with load balancing.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support from FileCloud is great.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, I used the S3 bucket for storage, but that was not compatible with different services, so I migrated to FileCloud.

What was our ROI?

I can share that specific outcomes since using FileCloud show that it impacts our storage purpose and provides cost optimization of up to 50% less than physical servers.

What other advice do I have?

For infrastructure optimization, I am using FileCloud for SSD storage, database separation, load balancing, and patch management.

Since adopting FileCloud for the last three years, I believe there is no need for any changes. However, I advise that we need day-to-day patch updates and to provide the end-user agreement as well.

I advise others looking into using FileCloud that because it allows for on-demand growth, cost management, improved performance, and high flexibility, they should use FileCloud rather than other products. I would rate this product a 7 out of 10.

Centralized menu access has improved multi-store control but role-based workflows still need refinement

  • April 13, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I have been using FileCloud while building a product for a QSR domain, and I am exploring the system where I can secure my content in terms of images, reports, and everything.

My main use case for FileCloud is building a QSR platform which is used by multiple stores, and I want to store all the menus in centralized storage from where every store's owners, kiosk, and mobile app will access it. It will be the content of the menus and images of the products, everything.

In my day-to-day operations, I use the role-based access feature by allowing my operations team and store managers to update the store-based menu I put in, where I have a path for my centralized menu. The managers can change the product image, remove the product, or update the inventory, but colleagues or staff may only have view access, and for updating anything, they need the help of managers, maintaining an easier hierarchy where the manager should be aligned with everything.

What is most valuable?

The best features FileCloud offers include centralized data access in a secure way, and we have role-based access where we can easily assign a role so that a person can access the data, update it, and add new data. FileCloud has positively impacted my organization by allowing centralized access to my menus across all stores, meaning we can access the same centralized store menu from kiosks, mobile applications, and even a PWA, making it easier to access.

What needs improvement?

Everything is fine with FileCloud and it can be improved.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

FileCloud is totally stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

FileCloud has everything I want and I would say it is totally scalable.

How are customer service and support?

I have not connected with the customer care team, but as far as my experience goes, it should be great.

What other advice do I have?

To implement something centralized, a data store system, you should use FileCloud. I would rate FileCloud seven out of ten because I am exploring FileCloud and I have not used all the available features; without using all the features, I cannot give a product ten out of ten. Whatever I used, I am pretty much happier, so that is why I gave a seven, as per my usage.

Remote storage has improved how I organize files and share data with colleagues

  • April 06, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for FileCloud is storing my data as a storage solution. I used FileCloud for storing my personal files, data, photos, and other things similar to how I would use Google Drive.

What is most valuable?

I organize my files in FileCloud using the creation of folders, structures, and permissions. In my opinion, the best features FileCloud offers are more storage, a good UI interface, a good way to organize files, folder structure, and permissions.

When I mention the UI interface and organizing files, I find that it is not that great. It is the same as other providers such as Google Drive and OneDrive, but it is a good UI. FileCloud has not positively impacted my organization's efficiency. It does provide storage where we can store our data.

Having that storage in FileCloud has helped my workflow by allowing me to store data on a file share other than storing it in our local storage. We can also share it with other colleagues. In that way, it functions as a shared storage.

What needs improvement?

FileCloud can be improved by making some integrations with other things and integration with local storage.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using FileCloud for the past 11 or 12 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

FileCloud is stable for my needs, but it can be improved.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

FileCloud's scalability has met my needs as my data grows, and I have not faced any trouble.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had much experience with FileCloud's customer support because we have not needed to reach out to them yet.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using only our local storage before switching to FileCloud.

How was the initial setup?

FileCloud is deployed in our organization on our public cloud. We use AWS as our cloud provider for FileCloud. We have not purchased FileCloud through the AWS Marketplace. We have set it up on our AWS instance.

What was our ROI?

I am not the right person to share details about the return on investment so far because we are still exploring the pricing models and other things.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are currently exploring the pricing models of FileCloud, including setup costs and licensing. In those pricing models, we are looking at both costs and features.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using FileCloud is that you can use it for remote storage. It is good and better than other providers. I gave FileCloud a review rating of 8.

Secure collaboration has transformed remote work and now protects sensitive data across devices

  • March 04, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for FileCloud is that I love it because it's a very secure content collaboration platform that provides compliance, data governance, data leak protection, data retention, and digital rights management capability. I also love the workflow automation and granular control of content sharing across enterprise platforms, which is fully integrated into the complete CCP stack. It also offers file sharing, synchronization, and mobile access capability on public, private, and hybrid clouds, which makes the deployment very flexible.

What is most valuable?

Recently, I implemented FileCloud to host our data externally using HTTPS instead of placing our data on a third-party cloud solution or using VPN technologies. It's being used by our entire department to access the data on our file server of our organization. With a lot of our staff members working remotely and on the move, this solution helps our staff members access their data on our secured central servers without having to use VPN technologies.

I love it because we can access our internal file server data from anywhere on the planet as long as we're connected to an internet connection. I also love it because we are able to use the mobile application, which is a very robust and intuitive application.

Some of the best features that FileCloud offers include an intuitive mobile application. The user interface is very easy to customize and user-friendly. File synchronization, storage, and archiving are very easy. Document management is great. Content search and retrieval are great. Enterprise content collaboration is on point, together with the security and risk management and information governance.

FileCloud stands out especially because it provides secure data storage and real-time synchronization capabilities. We can easily synchronize files across devices, manage document versions, and access files on the go through the mobile app.

I also love it because it provides enterprise-grade security features such as two-factor authentication and other features which ensure the security of our data and files is top-notch.

Secure remote access has simplified file sharing and boosted collaboration across our teams

  • February 25, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

FileCloud is used by my organization as a central location to store all of our company shared documents as well as our personal work documents. It serves as a cloud storage solution so we can access our company files from anywhere as long as we are connected to the internet.

In my daily work, FileCloud allows my company to host everything on their own servers and have full administrative access to everything they need. If you don't have someone to manage a server or you don't need to have granular admin access, FileCloud would not be appropriate for your usage.

Recently, we implemented FileCloud to host our data securely using HTTPS instead of replacing our data on a third-party cloud solution or using VPN technologies. Our whole organization is now using it to access the data on our file servers.

With many of our staff members working remotely and on the move, this solution helps our staff members access their data on our secured central servers without having to use VPN technologies.

What is most valuable?

FileCloud offers several best features including a web GUI that is easy to use, simple administration, and a very intuitive mobile app. The platform provides good access to internal files and file server data from anywhere with an internet connection, the ability to send emails with expiration dates, password links, and access control, the ability to send attachments that exceed email limits for downloading, and seamless integration with NTFS and Active Directory.

I also appreciate the integration plugin for Outlook and Office applications.

FileCloud has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to share files more easily and securely, manage our cloud shares as we see fit, and enable remote collaboration because we can access data anywhere with an internet connection. It has helped our staff members be more productive in accessing the data they need at any time from anywhere in the world.

Since using FileCloud, we have saved approximately 40% of the time it previously took to access data because we can retrieve information at any time with an internet connection. Remote collaboration has increased between 40% to 55%.

FileCloud has helped our staff members be more productive in accessing the data they need at any time from anywhere in the world, making collaboration much easier. Additionally, the security of our data has greatly improved, and we have saved significant time because we can access our data at any time as long as we have an internet connection.

What needs improvement?

FileCloud can be improved by providing easier access to set up drive mount on a Mac without the use of other applications like Fuse. Updates need to be more apparent to FileCloud drive.

Negative

FileCloud allows you to host everything on your own server, so you don't have to rely on Microsoft or any other company to maintain the servers and hope that they don't have large issues that prevent access to your files. As long as you can access your server, you can get into your files easily.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable.
