What is Secure File Transfer?

Content Collaboration & Secure File Sharing

Sending files to specific recipients is one way to get data from point A to point B. But using a shared app or folder can facilitate collaborative changes. Many cloud-based file sharing tools, like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox, make sharing large files simple. Upload files to the platform and simply assign users access to individual documents or entire folders. Most file sharing tools limit your storage space based on the subscription plan, but still make sharing large files straightforward.

For organizations that need to exchange large files securely with internal users but want to avoid the cost and lack of security controls that come with a mainstream file sharing product, there are options! Consider secure file sharing tools like GoAnywhere’s Secure Mail, Secure Folders, or GoDrive to support your internal file transfer requirements. All of these are affordable, practical, and easy to use.

Enterprise File Sharing

Also known as EFSS, Enterprise File Sync and Sharing tools help organizations of all sizes sync and share information in the cloud, on-premise, and across multiple locations. An advanced EFSS allows your users to access shared files remotely, from wherever they happen to be working.

Don’t let the word enterprise scare you off from EFSS if you’re a small business. Enterprise solutions are well-suited solutions to help organizations adhere to business-related security standards and compliance regulations.
