FileCloud

FileCloud is a enterprise-grade platform for secure file storage, synchronization, sharing, and collaboration. Designed to provide organizations with complete control over their data, FileCloud offers a self-hosted or hybrid alternative to proprietary cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive. It caters to businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations that prioritize security, compliance, and flexibility in file management and collaboration.

FileCloud enables users to store files securely and access them across devices via web interfaces, desktop clients, or mobile apps. It supports real-time file synchronization between devices, selective sync for conserving storage space, and advanced sharing capabilities. Files can be shared internally or externally through password-protected links with configurable permissions (e.g., view-only or edit access) and expiration dates. Users can also lock files to prevent overwriting during simultaneous editing. FileCloud integrates seamlessly with productivity tools like Microsoft Office Online and Google Docs, enabling users to edit documents directly within the platform.

One of FileCloud's features is its emphasis on security. The platform employs AES-256 encryption for data at rest and SSL/TLS protocols for data in transit. It also supports client-side encryption, ensuring that files are encrypted on the user's device before being uploaded to the server. This zero-knowledge design means that encryption keys are not stored on the server, protecting data from unauthorized access even by administrators. Additional security measures include two-factor authentication (2FA), integration with Active Directory and LDAP for user authentication, and endpoint protection to secure data across connected devices. FileCloud also includes heuristic scanning to detect ransomware or malware in uploaded files.

FileCloud is particularly well-suited for organizations operating under strict regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, ITAR, or FIPS 140-2. Its compliance dashboard simplifies adherence to these regulations by providing tools for auditing, reporting, and enforcing security policies. Administrators can monitor system activity through comprehensive audit logs that track user actions (e.g., file access or modifications) along with metadata such as timestamps and IP addresses. Remote device management allows administrators to block unauthorized devices or remotely wipe data from lost or stolen devices.

Collaboration is another strength of FileCloud. The platform supports team folders for shared projects and integrates workflow automation tools that allow users to create custom workflows using a no-code builder. These workflows streamline repetitive tasks by automating actions based on predefined conditions (e.g., if a file is uploaded to a folder, notify specific users). File commenting enables teams to discuss changes directly within the platform, while advanced notifications keep collaborators informed about file activity

FileCloud's flexibility extends to deployment options. Organizations can choose between self-hosting on private infrastructure for maximum control over data residency or leveraging FileCloud's managed cloud services for convenience. Hybrid deployments are also supported, allowing businesses to combine on-premise storage with cloud scalability. Data residency options enable organizations to select specific geographic locations for data storage to comply with local regulations or reduce latency.

Scalability is another vale of FileCloud's architecture. The platform can handle large-scale deployments with thousands of users while maintaining high performance and reliability. Features like unlimited file versioning ensure that previous versions of files are always accessible for recovery or review.

FileCloud’s modular design allows extensive customization through APIs and integrations with third-party tools such as Microsoft Outlook for email-based file sharing or OnlyOffice for collaborative document editing. The platform also supports federated search capabilities for e-discovery across multiple repositories.

FileCloud is a secure and versatile platform that combines enterprise-level file management with advanced collaboration features. Its focus on privacy through encryption and self-hosting options makes it an ideal choice for organizations prioritizing data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. With its scalability, workflow automation tools, seamless integrations, and robust security framework, FileCloud offers a comprehensive solution for modern business environments seeking an alternative to proprietary cloud services.
