7. Centralized User Data (Cloud + On-Premises) Management.
- Manage Private User Home Drive
Data sat in the cloud and shared
SMB repositories centrally.
- Target and delegate access to
private and shared Data sources
based upon Active Directory
policies.
- Target and delegate access to
private and shared Data sources
based upon Device ID and platform.

8. SMB to Cloud storage migration
- File Director acts as a broker between the On-Premises
and cloud storage, seamlessly syncing data from the native
profile location(s) to cloud storage.
- Plan for your migration. File Director Syslog Dashboards
track per user data volume and throughput prior to your
migration.
- Admin has control. File sync, bandwidth and local cache
management policies ensure the migration is measured and
managed.
- Big bang approach not required. File Director supports the
ability to migrate users based upon Active Directory group
conditioning, supporting a measured phased approach.
- Monitor your progress. Use File Director Syslog Dashboards
to track the progress of your migration down to a per user
status.

9. Replace Microsoft Folder Redirection with an Enterprise level
backup solution.
- ‘In-Location-Sync’ will take User Data from native
locations within the profile straight to your storage
target.
- No disruption to the End user. They continue saving
files to their Desktop and do not have to worry about
their Data being backed up.
- No local copy from A to B before being sent to the
cloud. Nothing set in the User Shell folders.
- No dragging and dropping in to a folder launched from
the System Tray.
- Protect your storage and manage your traffic using File
Directors extensive sync policy engine.

11. Replace Microsoft Offline Files with something that works –
No VPN required.
- Present User storage (Private or Shared) as Mapped
Drives that can be made available offline.
- No additional configuration required, no ‘Disconnected’
markers on drives and no VPN.
- File Director integrates with existing file shares and
environments transparently, utilizing current NTFS
permissions, ensuring zero impact on data storage,
redundancy and business continuity plans.
- File Director also provides industry standard encryption
of data – both in-transit and at rest on mobile devices –
for improved governance and compliance when storing
files offline.
