Enable remote and web file access to shared folders on the internal Windows file server without VPN. Remote web folder access and file sharing made easy!
Accessing local file servers is fast, secure and easy when you are on the local network (LAN), but accessing the same file server remotely over the Internet has always been a challenge, either with VPN or RDP. It's no surprise, then, that many organizations are looking to online file sharing solutions to replace traditional file servers when they purchase a new file server. However, online file sharing solutions introduce new problems, such as data duplication, data leaks, application compatibility and non-compliance. A better approach is to equip existing Windows file servers with modern Web and remote folder capabilities and turn them into an online file-sharing service.
Do you want to selectively publish your file shares over the Internet and access them through a modern web interface?
Do your users complain about VPN connectivity, performance, or usability?
Tired of losing control of your data when users share it via public services like Dropbox?
Do you want to limit the number of ports open on the firewall for internal infrastructure?
