Working on your files while on the road: what the cloud makes possible, the role of sync and how offline access fits in.

Whether you work in technology, construction or communications, running your company may well mean travelling a great deal. While you are away you have to keep working on certain files, or risk holding them up, and that means being able to reach them remotely. Hence the value of putting arrangements in place that let you reach any kind of file wherever you are. A genuine reference point in cloud computing, NetExplorer offers you several ways of doing that.

Turning to cloud computing

Running a company generally involves a good deal of travel. Concluding partnerships, meeting potential suppliers, signing substantial contracts: all of these sometimes mean going somewhere. Even so, while you are out of the office you have to be able to keep running your company remotely, or risk slowing everything down. To that end, it is essential that you can reach every one of your files wherever you are. You can then carry on signing documents, making decisions and closing deals while away from your company's head office. Cloud computing is, today, the best way to reach your data easily wherever you happen to be.

In practical terms, cloud computing acts as a storage medium. It centralises the data a company generates in an online storage space, supported by a provider's servers and, above all, large enough to handle a considerable flow of data. That covers emails, PDF and Word files, applications, videos and images. Everything saved in the cloud can be reached anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.

Through a dedicated application or simply a web browser, you can reach your files from any device. Whether you are travelling with a phone, a tablet or a laptop, running your company remotely is no longer difficult. You can even use certain connected devices to reach your data.

Beyond its role as a storage medium, cloud computing supports data sharing. With it, you can transfer data of any size to a colleague inside the company or to an outside partner. It is the ideal tool for collaborative work, and an excellent way to keep your data secure: it limits the risk of hacking, data loss and theft. With a good cloud solution, you choose which colleagues can reach your data.

Using cloud computing to reach your company files

NetExplorer: the reference cloud for French companies

With more than 15 years of experience, NetExplorer helps companies secure their workflows and share data of every kind more easily within their walls. We give small, medium and large companies an exceptionally capable cloud through which they can protect, share and store their data. Whatever your sector and whatever the size of your company, you can make the most of what our cloud offers. The number of well-known large companies that have placed their trust in us says a good deal about our expertise: we have had the honour of working with EDF, Groupama, Thales and Veolia, among others. We would be delighted to count you among our clients.

Unlike competing solutions, our cloud ecosystem is particularly adaptable. It fits the many demands of collaborative work inside your company. Our solution also has plenty of intuitive features built specifically to answer your company's needs. In practice, through a cloud that is unquestionably one of the best on the market, you can save your various resources on a medium that is reliable and protected. Whatever the size of your files, you can send them by email or through a secure link to your clients, colleagues, partners or suppliers. Our solution also lets you co-edit files in real time and receive notifications as soon as a change is made.

With this tool, you can reach all of your data wherever you are. You can also sign and approve documents remotely. So that you never temporarily lose access to your data in an incident, we back it up on three remote servers. You can also recover files deleted by mistake within 30 days. And to make life easier, we integrate our cloud with the other software in your information system.

NetSync, for simpler access

To help you and your colleagues reach your files more easily, we have built the NetSync software. It is a digital data synchronisation tool. Installed on your Mac or your PC, it helps you synchronise the files of your choice in real time onto your desktop. You no longer have to go through the NetExplorer web platform to reach your folders: they are available locally on your desktop.

The software is impressively fast, because it uses block delta mode. The moment a folder is added, authorised colleagues are told automatically. The main advantage of the tool, in truth, is that it lets several people work on the same project without being in the same place. Whether you are in your office, travelling or in a meeting at a partner's premises, you can reach your synchronised folder from your laptop.

On top of easier access, NetSync saves you time. It lets you create upload links and download links in just a few clicks. The software triggers automatic locking when a document is being edited, so that several users cannot change it at once. Thanks to the offline access feature, you can reach all of your files even without a connection, which is very useful when travelling. And to help you get to grips with the software, we have taken care over its interface: three clearly visible icons tell you everything about the synchronisation status of your documents.
