According to a new press release, “With millions working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations have uncovered an expected problem: many of their employees don’t have access to critical files stored in on-premises servers and storage applications. The virtual private networks (VPNs) that organizations often rely on to manage access to critical files are showing their limitations. VPNs struggle in lower-bandwidth environments, making desktop access a messy process and mobile access downright difficult. FileCloud, a cloud-agnostic enterprise file sync, sharing and data governance platform, offers seamless access to on-premises file shares from home without a VPN. There’s also no need to migrate all users to a different system and migrate their access rights because FileCloud integrates with existing systems and allows organizations to keep their existing NTFS permissions for access control.”

The release goes on, “One industry that has seen tremendous change is manufacturing. In many cases, workers on the shop floor are the only ones in the entire factory, with the rest of the office staff now working from home for the first time. FileCloud eases that transition by offering secure access with no need to change permissions. Similarly, large universities have traditionally stored files in on-premises file shares. Over the past few weeks, research staff and students have been accessing the university’s network from home, many of them from mobile devices. FileCloud’s system of creating common working folders that integrate with existing access rights allow thousands of users to access these internal shared files remotely.”
