Efficient remote file access with robust security features and excellent support
I noticed a feature in competitors that requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for uploading and downloading files in the share folder, which adds an extra security layer. I haven't seen this implemented on FileCloud, and it would add a valuable advantage for security. Additionally, currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server. Expanding compatibility to other Linux distributions could be beneficial for users.

I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync
We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups.  The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again. It takes too long for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"Ability to share documents."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
 

Cons

"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
