AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FileCloud, the leading file sharing software ensuring enterprise control in the cloud, today announced that it has officially joined the Microsoft Cloud Storage Partner Program. As part of Microsoft’s Cloud Storage Partner Program, FileCloud will enable Office 365 business users to open, edit and save changes to remote Office files stored in FileCloud using a web browser. Importantly, users can co-author and collaborate on documents in real time on Office documents stored in FileCloud from anywhere.
Since its inception, FileCloud continues to break barriers and offers unique customer choices. FileCloud gives Office customers a seamless experience when working with Office documents regardless of how they are accessed or where they are stored.
"We are excited to be part of the Microsoft Cloud Storage Partner Program and to use the Microsoft Office 365 capabilities for our customers across the globe," said Madhan Kanagavel, CEO of CodeLathe. "Browser-based editing of Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel files, as well as working simultaneously on a document via co-authoring features of Office 365, will allow our customers to be instantly more productive and will be a great addition to many existing integrations we have developed for Office, including Microsoft Outlook and mobile apps."
Even when files and workloads are rapidly moving to the cloud, the majority of organizations continue to store significant portions of their data on-premises. FileCloud offers flexible options where customers can pick a storage model (on-premises, the cloud or a hybrid option) that suits their business needs. With this new Office integration, FileCloud brings real-time collaboration and remote co-authoring to any file regardless of where it is stored.
Rob Howard, Director, Microsoft Office Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp. said, “We are excited to have FileCloud’s participation in the Cloud Storage Partner Program to further extend the availability of Microsoft Office 365 to FileCloud’s users. It’s a unique integration that connects FileCloud’s technology directly to Office Online, so that customers have a great experience for reading and editing Office documents stored within their environment.”
