Overview

What is FileCloud?

Where it fits

FileCloud gives organizations Dropbox-style access without giving up control of storage, identity, or policy. It runs in FileCloud's cloud or on infrastructure you manage, with Active Directory and SSO support, sharing rules, audit trails, retention controls, and remote device actions.

Common deployments

  • A law firm shares client folders through branded portals while logging downloads.
  • A manufacturer keeps files on premises but gives field staff mobile access.
  • An IT team replaces consumer file-sharing accounts with governed team spaces and external links.

Use it, or skip it

Choose it when data residency, self-hosting, ransomware protection, or compliance administration outweighs a consumer-simple setup. Skip it if you want a free personal drive, minimal IT involvement, or strong collaborative document editing. Licensing is paid by user tier; cloud, server, and governance editions differ, so exact cost may require a quote.
