Granular permissions
Set folder and subfolder access levels for internal and external users.
Store, share, and govern business files in one cloud repository with AI search and content protection.
Egnyte is a cloud content platform that brings an organization's files into one shared repository for collaboration, governance, and AI-driven insights. It offers granular folder permissions, version history, ransomware detection, sensitive content protection, audit trails, and AI search across text, audio, and video. Desktop, web, and mobile access lets teams work as they would with a local file server. Construction, financial services, life sciences, and media firms use Egnyte to share files securely and meet compliance requirements.
Melissa B.
Marketing Director
“Liked how easily the team collaborates while private files stay private, with smooth use across devices. Found that the Mac integration app sometimes falls out of date.”
Andrew S.
CEO
“Liked the folder-level permissions. Found the sales staff pushy and support poor, and considered it expensive with restrictive features, limited API access, and an unclear sharing limit that disrupted project deliveries.”
Joe C.
Operations Manager
“Liked that collaboration on Microsoft documents works more reliably than OneDrive or SharePoint, along with good customer service. Noted no major drawbacks.”
Dan H.
IT Manager
“Liked the governance, security, and compliance controls, accurate in-file search, permissions that non-technical staff can manage, and fast support. Found Office co-editing clunky, WebEdit not auto-updating, and pricing somewhat high.”
Lauren H.
Executive Assistant
“Liked how it fits existing workflows, its clean interface, and fast performance with large files. Found it limiting that external email hosts cannot be used for collaborative sharing.”
Jason L.
Project Manager
“Liked the fast uploads and downloads, easy integrations, and simple folder permissions. Found that specialized programs such as AutoCAD cannot open files directly within the platform.”
Eli P.
Centralized Services Manager
“Liked the simple, secure file sharing with both internal staff and external partners. Found editing files in Microsoft Office less efficient than with Microsoft's own storage tools.”
Beth M.
Managing Partner
“Liked the secure backup, easy FTP sites, HIPAA-compliant security, and reasonable price. Found that backups sometimes locked up and the mobile app could not send user invitations.”
Cao-Quy N.
System Administrator
“Liked the timely support, frequent new features, local NAS syncing, and strong versioning and restore. Found the website slow, basic bulk actions missing, reports outdated, and some feature requests ignored.”
John W.
Director
“Liked using it as a simple primary data repository that sets up quickly and behaves like a local drive. Found that default privilege restrictions limit folder editing on the web.”
Marie Debbie K.
Project Analyst
“Liked the well-built product with many options and detailed user activity reports. Found a steep learning curve and felt an experienced admin is needed to get full value.”
Jerry H.
Owner
“Liked the easy setup and familiar Explorer-style interface for clients. Found that permissions need more granularity, such as virtual document collections that can be shared with clients.”
Don R.
Accountant
“Liked the easy access from anywhere, access history, and read-only permissions. Found that users who skip software updates lose access to updated files.”
Beatricia S.
Sales Specialist
“Liked that departments across the company use it to respond to clients quickly, with secure storage and permission controls. Noted no major drawbacks beyond avoiding simultaneous edits of one file.”
eric arzouma R.
CEO
“Liked the powerful, secure storage, access controls, and useful sharing and sync. Found the interface hard to navigate, advanced features in need of training, and the product expensive.”
Tamas Hunor D.
IT Solutions Engineer
“Liked the authentication options, syncing with third-party NAS devices, and easy sharing. Found it expensive and the maximum file size too small for their video files.”
Jeffrey D.
Digital Technologist
“Liked the granular permissions, version control, six-month trash, optional Protect add-on, and responsive support. Found occasional bugs, a weaker mobile app, and a tricky deployment.”
Priyansh K.
Owner
“Liked its reliability, ease of use, and compatibility with Google Drive and Microsoft Office. Found it expensive for small businesses, with unreliable search, slow support replies, and occasional downtime.”
Rikke N.
Junior Production Designer
“Liked the browser, desktop drive, and backup options along with flexible sharing. Found a learning curve, trouble with large files, messy inherited permissions, and reporting that could improve.”
Prince J.
Business Analyst
“Liked the useful features, fast offline sync, and Power Automate support. Found that Power Automate support costs extra, many features overlap with Microsoft Teams, and the GxP offering is new.”
