Cloud computing provides a great number of benefits for businesses, to which the Egnyte app for mobile and tablet is testament.
Storage
Anyone familiar with the IT side of business will be familiar with the need for extra storage space as the amount of data that needs to be stored increases.
In terms of the sheer amount of data that businesses might need to transfer, a smartphone’s hard drive might not be able to accommodate such large files, but the great thing about the cloud is that, while this data does not need to be stored on the phone, it may at least be accessed by the phone.
Indeed, you may access, download, edit and email Microsoft Office files, as well as PDF and image files, using your app on your smartphone or tablet from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Get mobile
Instead of undertaking the time-consuming process of transferring the files from your computer to your tablet or mobile phone, you may now access any of this data from any location.
If you go into an important presentation without an important piece of information, no problem – all you have to do is access the information on the cloud using the app.
Similarly, if your computer breaks down and you find that the information on your local hard drive has been lost then you can always use the Egnyte app on your mobile to retrieve the information.
The Egnyte app also is also very accommodating for collaborative projects, as not only does it allow very large files to be sent by email, but file links, annotation and notification tools are available for true collaboration.
Mobile access
Another great thing about the Egnyte app is that it has wide cross-platform availability. It is available on iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, as well as Amazon KindleFire, HP WebOS and B&N Nook.
Although not all platforms support all of the functions – the overhead projection capability is unique to the iPad, for example – the cross-platform functionality could well ease any compatibility issues if the different individuals involved in a certain project have different devices.
