FileCloud Overview

What is FileCloud?

FileCloud is a hyper-secure EFSS (enterprise file sync and share) platform that provides industry leading compliance, data governance, data leak protection, data retention and digital rights management capabilities. Workflow automation and granular control of content sharing across most enterprise platforms is fully integrated into the complete EFSS stack. FileCloud is a leader in content governance and collaboration for unstructured data, trusted and used worldwide across Global 1000 enterprises, educational institutions, government organizations, and service providers. Granular control of content sharing is fully integrated into the stack through comprehensive audit logs and access permissions, and the Compliance Center helps with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and NIST 800-171 (among others). FileCloud also provides Zero Trust File Sharing® an industry-first innovation that allows users to share sensitive data via an encrypted zip file that cannot be accessed by unauthorized users, even in the event of a data breach. FileCloud helps customers solve complex challenges in enterprise file sharing, privacy, compliance automation and governance across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. In addition to its enterprise file sharing solution, FileCloud’s product portfolio also includes Signority (acquired in May 2024), a Canadian-based e-signature and document workflow platform.

What do you like best about FileCloud?

File cloud allows me to quickly able to upload and share with a customized link and easy to organize. Setting the restrictions is fairly easy as well and notifications of who accessed what is a good confirmation that the intended party received the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileCloud?

I would like a way to send things to file cloud through email. I tried installing the add-in but the installation failed, throwing a pretty serious error, so i aborted. Also while it's possible to share a link for one of your less savvy co-workers to use as an upload file, it isn't streamlined. Also it would be nice to have an "archive" shortcut. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FileCloud:

Get over all the "box" sites, go to the "cloud" instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FileCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the issue of getting files securely to our intended parties without compromise. The benefits are that it works! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FileCloud?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileCloud?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FileCloud 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FileCloud?

The gui is simple to use and massive files can be exchanged with anyone anywhere in the world. Speeds for uploading and downloading seem pretty good and there have been no vendor issues when transferring files of 100 + mb to gb. This is necessary to keep our workflow moving quickly and keep schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileCloud?

Quick online videos for troubleshooting. My interface on my Mac platform does not always match the interface shown in tutorial images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FileCloud:

Then set up the free trial to make sure it works for you. We needed to share and distribute large files worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FileCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our internal FTP did not provide enough space or protection for massive files to be forwarded to our global suppliers. Hightail and WeTransfer services with all vendors have not been successful. FileCloud has given us an easy-to-use interface to share files with everybody else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FileCloud?

The main thing i like about the FileCloud is that it help in file storage and this is crucial more so when retrieving and authenticating about the operation of the institution. This tool is very fast in opening the website and thus no delay when using it. The FileCloud has many software in it and this make more effective in storage of the information.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileCloud?

The tool is somehow too complex to the first time user and this can bring inconvenience in the operation of the institution. Despite it having a user guideline but the tool is somehow lengthy and this make it a bit complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FileCloud:

I have been with the tool for several years and i can recommend other institution to integrate the tool in their system and this would help in their general operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FileCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloud content collaboration well enhanced with the use of this tool thus the storage of files is well enhanced and this improves the performance of the institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FileCloud?

FileCloud is a very useful and innovative platform in which file sharing, synchronization and backup can be done in a more fluid and secure way. With FileCloud you can share and store commercial data and at the same time offer a backup and guarantee of access through mobile devices. 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.

You can see that it works with modern encryption methods (256-bit AES) and industry standards for transferring (SSL / TLS secure tunnel) and storing content securely. Allows two-factor authentication functionality, antivirus scanning, data leak prevention Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FileCloud?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FileCloud 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. FileCloud is like a very Premium category for organizations with high requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
