Secure File Sharing Without the VPN Headaches

In a world where speed and security are everything, businesses can’t afford to be slowed down by outdated tools. Traditional VPNs, once the go-to for remote file access, now create more problems than they solve—especially for industries working with large, complex files like engineering and design. 

From clunky setup to poor performance, VPNs are quickly becoming a roadblock to modern collaboration. That’s where UFSConnect steps in. 

Why VPNs Are Failing Modern Businesses 

VPNs still provide a secure connection, but in today’s fast-paced environment, their limitations are hard to ignore: 

• Slow with big files – CAD, BIM, or large project files crawl over VPN connections. 

• Complex setup – IT teams spend hours configuring and troubleshooting connections. 

• Poor scalability – Adding new users or locations often means downtime and disruption. 

• User frustration – Dropped sessions and cumbersome logins kill productivity. 

For an engineering firm sharing multi-gigabyte AutoCAD or Revit files, these issues aren’t minor—they’re workflow killers.
