Why Filr?

• Users can not access their files when on the move• Traditional mapped drives just don’t hack it when out of the office

• Users can not securely share files• Internal sharing is not ideal

• Shared areas, where everyone can see the file • e-Mail storage growing

• External sharing is not ideal• Cloud solutions have security/regulatory compliance issues• SMTP mail is typically unencrypted

Filr solves two of your problems
