Pros

Very positive experience - any successful business would find significant efficiencies and opportunities by moving to 365.
I love how secure the platform is, the software is easy to navigate. I love the fact that it is accessable worldwide.
We utilize all that the product has to offer on a daily basis and are quite happy with the product. It helps us manage our business better and provides the tools necessary to communicate effectively.

Pros

The GUI is nice and smooth and easy to use and the integrations with other SSO technologies is easy to implement and very stable.
We are very pleased with FileCloud and believe it offers our organization excellent value and great flexibility.
So far it has been great and customer service has been very responsive and helpful.

Cons

This is the sort of thing the hard drive resident application never struggled with. Conditional formatting layered up is the sort of thing that causes problems.
Sometimes i get logged out and have trouble logging back in. This is very rare but can be confusing and upsetting as everything is on there.
I hate, hate, hate, hate the fact that you cannot install each app on its own. It is pointless to force people who only need Excel or Word to install EVERYTHING.

Cons

Poor support for another languate than English. The Changes are very disruptive, I don't like it.
You start working on a file that has already been modified by someone else. This alone makes the software useless for certain types of work.
Need more higher internet connection which is poor in my country.

FileCloud a great alternative for SharePoint for clients that can't or won't move

Reviewed 2 years ago

The sales team and support team (when needed) have been professional and incredibly quick.

Pros

Integration with Office 365 applications and the ability to inherit the current NTFS permissions implemented with Active Directory integration makes this much easier to transition

Cons

The only con I have is also a pro; but its that some of our clients still have or need on-premises servers. FileCloud allows for these clients to benefit from the features that SharePoint brings though, without the on-premises licensing costs and management overhead.

"File Cloud is a Safest and Fastest file sharing Platform"

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Sharing folders and files with Filecloud is easy and flexibleOne more good feature is its integration with Microsoft app.

Cons

The admin portal is hard to find specific settings. Need to identify which admin sections contain certain features, so they are easier to find.

Review of Filecloud

Reviewed 3 years ago

We have been with filecloud for many years now and overall have had very few issues with the product.

Pros

We use this software daily to share files without people outside of our company. It is easy to use and very user friendly.

Cons

The biggest negative that we have is that it is one more tool to use. We have many different tools and each tool requires administration. As we progress more with Office 365 we find ourselves using the sharing features of Sharepoint more than filecloud.

A Great Enterprise File Sharing and Syncing Solution

Reviewed 2 years ago

10/10

Pros

Having used FileCloud for several months now, I can confidently say that it is one of the most robust file sharing and syncing solutions available. The software's interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to upload, share, and collaborate on files. I also appreciate FileCloud's advanced security features, including two-factor authentication, data encryption, and access controls, which give me peace of mind knowing that my files are secure. Additionally, FileCloud offers a wide range of integrations with other tools such as Microsoft Office, Google Drive, and Outlook, making it easy to sync and access files across platforms.

Cons

One downside of FileCloud is that it can be a bit complicated to set up and configure, especially for users who are not tech-savvy. While the software's interface is user-friendly, the initial setup process can be a bit overwhelming. Additionally, while FileCloud offers a mobile app for iOS and Android devices, it lacks some of the functionality of the desktop version, which may be limiting for users who need to access files on the go. Finally, FileCloud's pricing can be a bit steep for small businesses, especially for those who don't need all of the features that the software offers. Overall, while FileCloud may not be the most straightforward solution, it is an excellent choice for businesses looking for a secure and feature-rich file sharing and syncing solution.

FileCloud Review

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall good experience, but want these cons addressed to improve performance and function.

Pros

The best feature is storing files and having them sync so our team can collaborate. Security seems good with good recovery of files if needed.

Cons

The software frequently allows multiple users to edit and work in the same file, but this should be blocked with the Microsoft add-on with FileCloud. Sync speed needs to increase. I need better reporting on who has access to what file/folder that was shared with them so I may audit and update access. There are still common sync issues where we have conflicted copies, but not sure why this is occurring. Sometimes I try to delete a file/folder only for it to continue to reappear. Browsing files with the app needs to be a complete search and not just with beginning characters.
