Secure File Sharing
Today’s file sharing services allow you to do much more than simply send something to a colleague to get their thoughts. Multiple people, in multiple locations can now access and edit documents simultaneously. Far more efficient than sending documents back and forth as email attachments or downloading large file transfers, this also eliminates any version control issues since you’re only ever working on one document.
However, the biggest benefit of today’s cloud-based file sharing platforms is that they allow anywhere, anytime file sharing from any networked office or mobile device. And that’s becoming increasingly vital for both productivity and collaboration, as more and more employees work remotely, instead of in an office. Take teamwork to the next level with a modern file sharing service.
Which secure file sharing service is right for your business?
There are a range of online file sharing services out there, most of which offer similar core capabilities — though some provide additional features. So the best option for your business will depend on your specific needs, your budget and the other software you’re using, which will need to be integrated.
We always recommend talking through the options with your IT Service provider as they’ll advise on infrastructure integration and licensing implications, amongst other things.
