FileShadow ‘Edit in Place’ for Files Stored in Cloud Vault

FileShadow, Inc. announces ‘Edit in Place’ for native editing of files stored in a company’s vault.

Using the macOS or Windows 10 apps, users can find and edit files on their local or virtual desktop using familiar, native applications. As the files are modified, they are automatically protected as a revision within the company’s vault.

The firm aggregates files from multiple storage sources including cloud storage services (iCloud, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe’s Lightroom solutions, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business) and local storage (macOS, Windows Desktops, and Drobo network and DAS (NAS/DAS) devices ^(*) ) into one secure cloud vault. The service provides a single, secure location to access and search files across multiple locations.

Recently, the company announced thin provisioned storage services for virtual desktops, providing access to large file vaults without synchronizing data to the virtual desktop server. Now, virtual desktop users can edit a file and save it to FileShadow, giving them the ability to access all versions of their files in a virtual location. In addition, the firm helps IT departments save money by minimizing the amount of local storage allocated on their macOS and Windows machines, and virtual desktop servers.

“Our previous versions focused on accessing content, regardless of where is was located. Today’s release enhances our service to enable direct ‘editing in place’ of those protected files,” said Tyrone Pike, president and CEO, FileShadow. “It benefits both corporate IT and individuals, especially those employing virtual desktops.“

The company delivers ’11 nines’ of durability, assuring that assets stored will be accessible, protected and available for a lifetime in a secure cloud vault.

“Using FileShadow for storage combined with virtual desktops creates a more secure storage solution for IT departments, while giving users access to all of their data as soon as the desktop finishes launching,” Pike said.

The firm’s service is free of charge for up to 100GB of data. Subscriptions are available for more storage ($15/month for 1TB; $25/month for 2TB; each additional terabyte is $10/month). Subscriptions for FileShadow for Virtual Desktops are available for $25/month for 2TB and each additional terabyte is $10/month.

^(*) Supported Drobo NAS products include: 5N, 5N2, B810n; DAS Products Include: 5C, 5D/5Dt, 5D3 on Windows over USB and the 5C, 5D/5Dt, 5D3, 8D for Mac.
