EFSS stands for Enterprise File Syncing and Sharing, also commonly known as Enterprise File Sync and Share.

What Makes it Enterprise?
Enterprise File Sync and Share solutions aren’t only for large businesses – they can benefit companies of any size that are searching for a way to securely transfer files or need to collaborate often or across locations. Most of the tools people use in their everyday lives – email, Google Drive, Box, shared photo albums in Apple, to name a few – don’t hold up to the security standards or compliance regulations businesses adhere to, which is where EFSS comes in. EFSS software is built for business needs.
