We have tested a number of different file sync and share solutions that you can deploy within your private cloud workspace on Swizznet.
There are two types of solutions available:
Option 1 - Data is stored with the file sync and share third-party vendor and can be accessed within Swizznet and locally via a mapped drive or via a web browser. Because this data is stored and shared via the cloud it would not count towards your data storage on Swizznet and may be more cost-effective.
| One Drive | You can map your OneDrive as a drive on Swizznet via a script. Our support can assist you with this. 1 TB of OneDrive storage is included with all Office 365 ProPlus accounts and is a very cost-effective option for sharing files. | https://onedrive.live.com |
Option 2 - Data that is stored on Swizznet can sync'd to a third-party vendor and accessed via the cloud and/or a locally mapped drive. This option utilizes your paid data storage on Swizznet.
| File Cloud |
This solution is installed on the server and you select which data on your server that you would like to sync and make available via a locally mapped drive or via the web client. This solution is easy to manage and includes audit logging and user permission management. |

Neither option will work for live databases (Sage databases or QuickBooks files) - these are for sharing other files such as MS Office, PDF's, etc.
Solutions that have not been workable out of the box in testing include: Dropbox and Box.com. One solution that works is to use http://www.netdrive.net/ with these solutions to make them work like OneDrive above. More details.
Note: We do not endorse or recommend any provider over another. You will need to setup your account directly with the vendor.
