FileMinister
Next generation cloud based file storage system designed for the engineering office enabling control with collaboration.
FileMinister enables you to:
- Connect your LAN fileystem to cloud
- Setup sync for designated machines and users
- Define security for files and folders
- Maintain versions and backups of your files
- Auto and manual checkout / checkin
- Manage conflicts
Traditional cloud based file providers are good but build with individual users' need in mind. Engineering office admins face a dilemma on whether to stay with their current file systems or choose a cloud provider and lose control. FileMinister is built for engineering offices and puts security first.
