ShareFile is a trusted solution for businesses seeking to store, synchronize, and share data in a cloud environment. However, as organizational needs evolve—such as managing large-scale data backups, facilitating data migrations, and handling complex file structures—the limitations of the standard ShareFile application can become increasingly evident.
In this context, Syncovery emerges as a powerful alternative, offering enhanced functionality and greater control over data management. With Syncovery, businesses can perform data backups and migrations with greater efficiency and flexibility.
Limitations of the standard ShareFile app
The ShareFile app integrates your ShareFile folders directly into Windows File Explorer, assigning them a separate drive letter. This is convenient for some users, but very inflexible. If you want to synchronize your existing local folder structures with Sharefile, or operate with large amounts of data, you will need a more advanced tool. Syncovery is the ideal solution, especially if you have specific requirements of your backup and synchronization processes.
Advantages of Syncovery over the Sharefile app:
- works with existing folder structures: Syncovery allows you to freely assign your local folders to Sharefile folders, and you no longer have to copy files back and forth between your own folders and the Sharefile drive.
- detailed control of synchronization: With Syncovery you can not only set the date of the transfers or use real-time synchronization, but also the copy direction. For example, with backups you might want to… B. only upload and not synchronize in both directions.
- parallel processing: by running multiple jobs at the same time and uploading multiple files in parallel, your bandwidth can be used optimally.
- flexible fulfillment of any requirements: Syncovery has a variety of features and options and can be expanded using PascalScript, so that almost any task can be implemented.
Synchronizations and backups with the ShareFile app or Syncovery?
The ShareFile app is designed for simple synchronization processes, but is not able to create time-controlled backups or complex synchronization profiles. In this respect, Syncovery clearly stands out from the ShareFile app: With individually customizable backup profiles, automated and point-in-time backups and the option of real-time synchronization, our software offers far more flexibility and control.
Companies can be sure that their data is backed up and synchronized regularly and reliably without having to constantly intervene manually. Syncovery proves to be a better solution, especially for organizations that manage large amounts of data or have specific backup requirements.
In addition, our tool offers broad support for various cloud services and network storage, which means it integrates seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures. The software-based encryption also ensures that sensitive data is optimally protected during transmission, which is essential for companies with high data protection requirements.
Efficient data migration and file transfer with Syncovery
One of the most significant challenges when using ShareFile is data migration – especially when it comes to uploading or downloading large amounts of data. We make this process easier by having the software upload and download multiple files simultaneously, thus shortening the process.
How Syncovery improves migration and file transfer:
- parallel uploads and downloads: With our tool, you can upload and download multiple files at the same time, which significantly speeds up the transfer of large amounts of data.
- secure migrations: The backup software uses various encryption technologies to ensure that your data is fully protected during the migration process.
- complete control over uploads and downloads: Syncovery has detailed control options that allow you to specify exactly which files should be transferred and which should not.
