All File Sync Offerings are NOT the Same

Consumer-class offerings: • Aren’t as secure as business-class

offerings• Don’t offer file-sharing policies for

users• Lack in management features

Business-Class File Sync: Better for Customers

functionality• Enable storage on-site, in the cloud

or combination of both• Offer cloud enablement of file servers• Provide greater security; no data leaks

Security: The No. 1 Priority

• Cloud-based file syncing enables access to data from anywhere, any device

• Without proper security controls, data can be exposed to anyone

• Companies using non-secure file syncing risk noncompliance with government regulations

• Sensitive customer information can be compromised

Where MSPs Fit In
