CentreStack transforms traditional file servers into cloud file servers

For stronger security and control, an increasing number of companies are creating private file sharing services on their current file servers using CentreStack. Offered by Gladinet, this platform simplifies access for remote workers from any device, including employees' mobile phones from any location.

These costs can include user training to introduce new workflows, reconfiguration of folder permissions to factor out subfolders that don't have the same permissions as their parent...

US Census data had 5.2% of the workforce or 8 million people working from home in 2017.

This is especially important when it comes to secure file sharing - companies don't want sensitive information to become compromised. VPNs have been the traditional method of providing secure remote access but file access and sharing over a VPN can consume a lot of bandwidth and VPNs tend to be a little difficult to use.
