Voltn vs. SharePoint: all the power, none of the complexity.
At Microsoft, securing a share involves Azure AD, Purview, and Defender, often with the help of a consultant. At Voltn, every employee sets their own security level in just a few clicks.

In SharePoint, every security control must be configured brick by brick
SharePoint offers a wide range of tools, but setting them up requires specialized technical expertise. Here is what that means for your teams in practice.
Security that isn't enabled by default
Most external sharing controls remain disabled by default upon installation. A simple configuration error is all it takes to create a security breach.
Traceability that requires technical expertise
Knowing who accessed which file requires an audit via Microsoft Purview or PowerShell commands, sometimes necessitating a higher-tier license to unlock the full reports.
Versioning that quickly turns into a nightmare
Between OneDrive sync conflicts and Excel macros that are difficult to manage online, maintaining a clear master version quickly becomes a balancing act.
External sharing that opens uncontrolled doors
A user with folder editing rights can invite others to collaborate, without central validation or clear visibility into who has access to what.

FAQ: Common questions about Voltn vs. SharePoint
How long does it take to migrate from SharePoint to Voltn?
It only takes a few minutes to set up your demo space, and our team will guide you through the migration of your existing files.
Is SharePoint subject to the Cloud Act?
Yes. Because Microsoft is a U.S. company, your data may remain legally accessible to U.S. authorities, even when hosted in Europe. Voltn is a French company and is not subject to the Cloud Act.
Do you need a Microsoft 365 expert to secure file sharing on SharePoint?
In theory, no; in practice, often yes. Advanced controls (default permissions, expiration, and audit trails) are managed through the Microsoft 365 admin center or Microsoft Purview, which requires technical expertise that not all organizations have in-house.
Is Voltn Workspace an alternative or a complement to SharePoint?
Both, depending on your project. As an alternative: Workspace replaces SharePoint for document management, offering simpler governance and guided migration. As a complement: Workspace works alongside Microsoft 365 thanks to Outlook and Teams connectors and Office compatibility, allowing you to host your sensitive documents outside the reach of the Cloud Act.
But let's be honest, our cloud-based file storage and sharing solution is much easier.
