Use Cases and Deployment Scope

FileCloud is used by our organization as a central location to store all of our company shared documents as well as our personal work documents. It is used as a cloud storage solution so we can access our company files from anywhere.

Pros and Cons

Web GUI is easy to use
Administration is simple
Has mobile app

Updates need to be more apparent to FileCloud Drive
Uninstall/Reinstall was needed to fix most issues
Cost

Return on Investment

Allowed us to share our files easily
Allowed us to manage our cloud shares as we saw fit
The need to uninstall/reinstall after every other update was a little time consuming

Alternatives Considered

OneDrive, Dropbox and Box

The one thing FileCloud has over all other cloud products I have used such as OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box is that you are hosting everything on your own server. You don't have to rely on Microsoft or any other company to maintain the servers and hope that they don't have a large issue to where you can't access your files. As long as you can access your server, you can get to your files.

Likelihood to Recommend

FileCloud is well suited for companies who want to utilize a cloud storage system but not use products such as Box or OneDrive. FileCloud allows the company to host everything on their own servers and have full administrative access to everything they need. If you don't have someone to manage a server, or don't need to have the granular admin access, this wouldn't be appropriate.
