    Why FileShare Plus is a Superior Web Based Document Sharing Solution

    January 26th, 2012

    The web-based file sharing marketplace has ramped up in the past year. Even Apple is dabbling in online storage solutions via its iCloud. This demonstrates just how widespread these solutions are becoming. From the consumer to the small business to the enterprise, web  based document sharing is quickly becoming a necessity.

    But, which solution should you choose for your organization? While the basics of document sharing online are the same, each service has its pros and cons. One of the best and most feature-rich options out there is FileShare Plus, and it’s worth taking a look.

    Here are some things that make FileShare Plus stand out from the crowd:

    1) Hosting choices. You can choose to host FileShare Plus in-house, or you can have it hosted by the vendor. This gives you flexibility that most cloud-based storage solutions don’t. By running FileShare Plus in-house, you can keep document storage locked down the way you want. You can also make your document sharing available externally, if you wish, giving you the same mobility as you would have with cloud services.

    2) Ease of use. FileShare Plus has an interface that looks and acts like the Windows Explorer interface. That means training needs are minimal. The advanced features of FileShare Plus are intuitive, and can be readily adopted by most users.

    3) Branding. You can actually brand FileShare Plus with your own company’s identity. You can use custom logos and backgrounds. There are a number of customizable templates to use, as well. You can even use FileShare Plus in a “brokerage” fashion, where the identities of those creating and downloading files are isolated from one another.

    4) Robust add-ons. There are a couple of areas in which web-based file sharing solutions have fallen especially short: project management and CRM. There are optional add-ons for FileShare Plus that let you seamlessly integrate things like project attributes and milestones for project management purposes. The CRM option lets you keep notes about companies and contacts, as well as task lists for companies.

    5) Customizable security. Many web-based file sharing solutions don’t let you administer security. This can raise compliance concerns. FileShare Plus lets you add on advanced security measures such as password automation and encryption, event logging, password resets, and more.

    Simply put, FileShare Plus does things that cloud storage providers don’t. That makes it more than just a novel FTP replacement; that makes it one of the most robust choices for document sharing you can implement.

    Why use FileShare Plus?

    January 15th, 2012

    The answer is one word: Trust.

    A word about file sharing services:

    Most file sharing portals are hosted by companies which charge you a monthly fee for a parcel of their shared computer system. You never own the software and there is no true guarantee that your files will not be jeopardized or accidentally co-mingled with another entity’s as a result of technical malfunction or human error on the host’s part.

    Why is FileShare Plus trustworthy?

    1) Ownership. FileShare Plus is a one-off product you purchase one time and can easily host yourself. There is no monthly fee and your files are never held hostage.

    2) Transparency. The lack of this has caused companies such as British Petroleum (BP) a lot of grief recently. FileShare Plus is a transparent representation of your file system. There is no mysterious “database” where all files are collected. The list of accounts for logging into the system is maintained in an open data architecture using Microsoft SQL Server, which you can access at any time. FileShare Plus is made by Technical Framework, a Colorado-based company with several decades of combined team experience. Our revenues come the traditional way: from long-term relationships. We neither brag about a long list of anonymous clients, nor want to. Each relationship is as much a friendship to us as a business partnership.

    3) Stability. Due to FileShare Plus’ simplicity, there is little chance of instability. FileShare Plus is built on what is a solid and mature ASP.NET foundation which can be supported by a large community of experts. You are not reliant on FileShare Plus technical support unless you want to be.
