Your clients will be thankful when they no longer have to rely on VPN or FTP to connect to the file server.
Join Carlo Tapia, Product Marketing Manager at eFolder, and Anne Doring, Instructional Designer at eFolder, as they explain how File Server Enablement, a flagship feature of Anchor, allows IT solution providers to empower the mobility of users.
The file server is often used as the authoritative location of corporate data. But with increasingly mobile businesses and enterprises, accessing files through a virtual private network (VPN) or file transfer protocol (FTP) can end up being inefficient and inconvenient. Today’s employees expect access to business-critical documents from their phones, tablets, and laptops—anywhere and at any time.
Cloud-enabling a file server through Anchor’s cloud file sync feature, File Server Enablement, allows enterprises to maintain a single authoritative location for all corporate data, while providing a powerful sharing, collaboration, and security layer to that data.
File Server Enablement allows you to cloud-enable any folder on a machine and map it to a Team Share or a user account. In addition to local paths, you can specify a network share, a UNC path, or a NAS device, as a source for File Server Enablement.
This feature replaces the need for mapped drives (network drives), so that end users no longer need to be on-site or require the use of a VPN connection to access files and folders. With File Server Enablement, you can maintain an existing file structure while providing remote access to its contents. As an added benefit, File Server Enablement can provide a file-level backup of your file server.
