Fits Your Organization Workflows
FileCloud easily fits all organizational needs with seamless capabilities and ease of use. Apply your company’s logo, login screens, and Terms of Service, and run FileCloud on your custom domain. Admins can control user groups, set file/folder access, and assign password-protected permissions or restrictions whenever required.
Unparalleled ROI With FileCloud
FileCloud offers high ROI through innovative, enterprise-grade features. Unlike Citrix, you can self-host FileCloud on-premises for seamless secure access. FileCloud also offers a server-sync function without restrictions.
Check Detailed Feature Comparison Below Between ShareFile and FileCloud
For users looking to opt ShareFile for the Enterprise Sync, (which will be fully deprecated as of October 31, 2019, and and will no longer function for customers) will need to look for another solution which offers a solution to sync two folders on a file server. FileCloud’s ServerSync converts your Windows file servers into a powerful enterprise file sharing, sync platform. ServerSync maintains copy of files and permissions between the cloud and on-premises storage and enables a hybrid cloud approach that allows traditional LAN access when on-premise, and cloud access when off-site or remote.

FileCloud offers high ROI compared to ShareFile. Citrix ShareFile costs you $14,400 for 100 users annually, whereas, FileCloud is only $5,000 for 100 users annually. Check FileCloud pricing here
