This month...from the Egnyte Team

meet-egnyte-at-cloudbeat-2011At Egnyte, employees are ringing in the holiday season with exciting enhancements to our product. A new, unified FTP solution is now available, as is single sign on, subfolder sync, and a file viewer. This week, I am speaking at VentureBeat's CloudBeat conference about why the year of 2012 will the year of "cloud commuting." As organizations disperse and telecommuting becomes a permanent reality, hybrid cloud solutions are going to be the only way to cut costs and control the proliferation of good for the individual / bad for the company point solutions.

My team is working hard to enable you to work efficiently at anytime and from anywhere.

"Our geographic location often puts us directly in the path of significant and severe weather during hurricane season, so we can't take for granted that our teachers won't lose important data during a disaster. Because of this, we chose Egnyte's hybrid cloud solution as part of our disaster preparedness planning."

Product Updates

Unified FTP

egnyte-unified-ftp-solution-secure-folders

We are very excited to announce our new unified FTP solution! Our new solution integrates FTP as a transfer option, completely removing the need for a separate FTP server. You now have a simple way to upload and share large files directly into Shared and Private folders securely (via FTPS or FTPES).

Subfolder Sync for Personal Local Cloud

egnyte-subfolders-syncing

After numerous requests from our users we are enabling subfolder sync on Personal Local Cloud. Previously, users could drill down one level and select folders to sync. Now, users can drill down as far as needed to select which folders they want to sync locally on their computer.

File Viewer (Beta)

You can now view files directly off the web interface without the need to have the supporting application (e.g. MS Word) installed on that computer.
