Millions of people risk losing their unprotected, critical data every day. As the amount of unprotected data stored on multiple devices increases, it becomes harder to synchronize and easier to lose. Keeping data secure, synchronized, backed up and available can be expensive and require in-house IT expertise. Whether customers are online or offline, working at the office or on the road, Nomadesk allows business teams to secure, sync and share data with no limits or change in behavior. Each Nomadesk virtual file server acts just like a hard drive, storing important documents in one place with local and remote access from a PC, Mac, iPhone or Smartphone. Users simply drag and drop their docs into a virtual file server, and files are immediately encrypted, backed up and available for file sharing. For a flat monthly per server fee, SMB teams can now predict the budget for their collaborative workflow.

“Many of our customers are amazed that guests have free access to a team members’ Nomadesk file server, making it easy to predict and budget collaboration workflow,” added Filip Tack. “Another differentiator is that you can have more than one account with Nomadesk to separate personal and business stuff, and you can have multiple fileservers on one account to collaborate with different teams. And, each fileserver has a unique email address, so team members can email docs right into the Nomadesk fileserver or drive.”

"I’m a Mac user and have been looking for a product that has the capability to improve collaboration, while safely storing my stuff," said Caroline Vanderstede, a creative designer at Mojoville. "The online dashboard is fast and easy to use. As a creative designer, much of my work consists of large files that are difficult to email and risky to forward back and forth on a thumb drive or memory stick. Nomadesk’s security features are one of the biggest reasons why I selected their product for my small business."
