Cloud File Transfer

Cloud file transfer is the process of securely moving digital files between systems, users, or applications using cloud-based infrastructure rather than traditional on-premises methods. It enables organizations to exchange data over the internet without relying on local storage, offering benefits like scalability, automated workflows, and accessibility from any location. Modern cloud file transfer solutions often include encryption, compliance certifications and controls, audit trails, and integration with enterprise workflows to ensure data remains protected both in transit and at rest

GoAnywhere MFT can be deployed to most major cloud computing platforms, including Amazon EC2, AWS, and Microsoft Azure. GoAnywhere can also be deployed as a cloud-based SaaS solution, called MFTaaS (Managed File Transfer as as Service).

Automate your file transfer workflows, whether in the cloud, on-premises, or between the two, with secure managed file transfer. GoAnywhere MFT Projects can be configured to move data between your internal systems and to your external trading partners. Learn more about project automation.

GoAnywhere MFT integrates with dozens of popular web applications, including Dropbox, SharePoint, and Salesforce. See the complete list on our Cloud Connectors page.

On-premises file transfer moves data between on-premises systems and servers. Cloud file transfer moves data between cloud-based systems, as well as moving data to or from on-premises systems.

Cloud security is a two-way street. Researching each cloud provider’s cybersecurity methods and selecting the best one for your organization is imperative—a positive step toward ensuring your data’s integrity. But it’s not the only step. IT teams are just as responsible for the security of their sensitive business data as the cloud platforms that hold it. Secure your cloud data: get the guide.

No matter where you deploy GoAnywhere MFT, files can be exchanged between cloud and on-premises systems. Discover how a hybrid cloud environment can support your business operations: get the hybrid cloud guide.
