It’s Not Just an Inconvenience — It’s a Business Cost

Every business wants their team to work from anywhere. But if your remote file access is slow, unreliable, or unsecured, it’s costing you — and not just in frustration.

Hidden in those wasted minutes, dropped connections, and workaround hacks are real financial losses:

Missed deadlines
Reduced productivity
Higher IT support bills
Increased security risks

The Problem With Traditional Remote Access

Whether it’s a legacy VPN, a poorly configured remote desktop, or a patchwork of consumer cloud tools, older approaches create more problems than they solve:

Slow Transfers: Even small files take too long to open or save.
Shadow IT: Staff resort to personal file-sharing tools outside IT’s control.
Security Gaps: Data moves without encryption or audit trails.
Compliance Risks: You can’t prove who accessed what, when.
