We provide corporate with a file-sharing solution by integrating the essentials of ownership, compliance, privacy, and security into cloud file sharing.
If you have data hosted on a third-party site, who owns your data? And who is responsible in case of data loss?
Do you need to adhere to compliance regulations? Are there specific requirements that affect where data is stored?
If the data is hosted elsewhere, who else has access to your data?
Do you fully understand security offered and do you have full control over every step of the way to your data?
NASA needs a shared storage solution, comparable to SharePoint from an end-user perspective, for its external employees and contractors. The storage solution must first integrate with a single sign-on solution and be subject to regular certification audits and must meet certain compliance and regulatory requirements.
In this case, SharePoint is well suited for the general public, but not for organizations that have higher security requirements and compliance regulations. In the end, NASA uses its own VMWare infrastructure to set up a self-hosted file-sharing solution that resembles SharePoint.
An IT consultant in Canada Quebec has an immediate opportunity that is a government agency. For a government agency, data security is a top priority. They are looking for a secure file sharing solution, but also have concerns about regulatory compliance, security, and data ownership. The file-sharing function can be fulfilled by SharePoint or OneDrive, but they do not want to rely on the "cloud" for compliance. Even the "cloud" provides privacy compliance, but they feel that it is not the same in the "cloud". It's not easy to ask a vendor to do something very specific for a particular compliance requirement. Change management is difficult. However, with an on-premises file server, change management is easy. When something is "local", you feel like you have a lot of control to ensure compliance. They found that Triofox, a secure online file sharing solution with the flexibility of managing a local file server, can also facilitate compliance outside of America.
With the challenge of accessing traditional file servers from mobile devices and the lack of an enterprise file-sharing service, your employees may choose to use consumer cloud file-sharing solutions such as Dropbox or Office 365. While these solutions offer productivity and are cost-effective, they often fail to ensure data ownership and data security. Public clouds, however, are not secure enough for many enterprises' standards. While they desire the convenience of public cloud storage, enterprises can't help but have concerns about data ownership, privacy, compliance, data splitting, etc.
With third-party cloud file sharing solutions, company files may be copied onto a personal Dropbox folder for easy sharing, or even sent as email attachments for easy access outside the company's firewall. As a result, businesses cannot control their files, leading to a high risk of data breaches. In addition to data security concerns, the potential leakage of file server data to third parties is also a significant issue. This involves not only cyber threats and hackers, but also competitors, foreign nationals and governments.
"Where exactly is my data?"
"How vulnerable is my internal company information?"
"Who has access to it and what will they do with it?"
Triofox eliminates the common drawbacks of remote file server access and cloud file sharing solutions to provide the best of both worlds: privacy, security, and control of legacy file servers, combined with the efficiency and productivity gains of cloud file sharing.
Easy Deployment
SharePoint on-premises requires at least two servers, a database server and a storage server that IT must manage. Triofox is much easier to deploy on a clean Windows server.
Familiar User Experience
SharePoint is difficult to learn and use. Triofox provides a mapped drive over HTTPS for simplified access from anywhere.
No Additional Training Required
No training is required for Triofox's drive-based access. Right-click to share or request file transfers.
Simplify Management
Triofox is much easier to manage with auditing, reporting, and policy-based administration.
Data Privacy
Businesses can address data privacy concerns by providing access to internal file servers. Triofox offers the unique option of cloud-enabling existing file servers to replace cloud file sharing.
Data Security
Files are secured at rest and in transit with military-grade encryption and secure connections. Save setup time and money by automatically using existing users and permissions.
Maintain Compliance
Centrally manage users, access controls, and storage for each tenant. Administrators can perform audits of GDPR and HIPAA compliance or track all changes to individual files.
Data Remains of your Local File Servers
Unlike SharePoint, which requires you to upload your confidential data, Triofox leaves all shared files intact on your file servers. Triofox keeps the data in one place, for both file server shares and cloud file sharing, instead of scattering the data.
Remote and Mobile Access
Simplify remote access to file shares with familiar instances on any computer or device. Windows and Mac desktops natively display mapped drives in Explorer and Finder. The same experience is presented on iOS and Android devices, as well as in popular web browsers.
Simplified Management
Centrally manage users, access, controls, and storage for each tenant. Administrators can perform audits of GDPR and HIPAA compliance or track all changes made to individual files.
Folder Permissions Management
For complete control and visibility, permissions can be managed from the source file server or natively with Triofox.
Hybrid Deployments
With Triofox, data saved to file shares is replicated to the cloud and vice versa, to ensure business continuity with hybrid deployments.
Simplified Collaboration
Collaborate with business partners by giving them access to a limited set of internal files or folders. Share files with non-Active Directory users while maintaining administrative control. Simplify multi-site collaboration with automatic version control and file locking.
Increase Productivity
Provide a mapped drive that works anywhere, on any device, and gives mobile users easy access to internal file shares or cloud file servers.
On-Demand Synchronization
Mapped drives display the directory structure but delay downloading until a file is in use to reduce bandwidth usage and endpoint storage consumption.
Change Notification
With Triofox, you can receive automatic notifications to help you keep track of any changes in the system.
Reduce Costs with a simple VPN Alternative
Eliminate the overhead and support tickets typically associated with VPN file sharing, Always On VPN or Direct Access. Automatically use existing users and permissions to save setup time and money.

On-Premises Alternative to Dropbox and SharePoint
Triofox has the flexibility to provide an on-premises alternative to Dropbox and SharePoint using existing file servers.
"Simple cloud migration - The cloud migration process is simple and tailored to clients' needs. We can take the time to migrate individual users to the cloud over days or weeks, rather than requiring everything to be done in one night. What kills in a data migration is rushing through it and with Triofox we can take our time."
