Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure."
"FileCloud has been a very positive experience overall."
"I decided to switch from OneDrive to FileCloud because FileCloud offers advantages over all the cloud products I have used, as it is more cost-effective, fast, and reliable, with unparalleled security compared to other alternatives, and it is very easy to use, allowing us to access our server and retrieve our files with ease."
"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."
"Overall, FileCloud is a strong fit for what we need; it gives us better control, better user experience, and much stronger governance than the legacy approach we are replacing."
"My advice for others looking into using FileCloud is that you can use it for remote storage, as it is good and better than other providers."
"My main use case for FileCloud is that I love it because it's a very secure content collaboration platform that provides compliance, data governance, data leak protection, data retention, and digital rights management capability."
"FileCloud is a solid, enterprise-grade solution for secure file sharing and collaboration, giving you the control of on-premises with the flexibility of cloud, which is a significant advantage."
"Since using FileCloud, I have reduced the cost in our organization by at least 70% in our storage area, which shows a 70% cost optimization."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"When I mention the UI interface and organizing files, I find that it is not that great."
"However, one area that it should improve is that the updates need to be more constant, especially to the file drive."
"I think FileCloud could be improved because we are using different types of databases and need database separation for different types of database providers such as MongoDB, MariaDB, and MySQL."
"The biggest area for improvement in FileCloud is the admin experience around troubleshooting and observability."
"I would suggest that the cost could be reduced to give smaller organizations a chance to afford this tool."
"The requirement to uninstall and reinstall after every other update is time-consuming and should be addressed."
"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."
"The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable."
