Is your business struggling to share files?
Nerds On Call can help with efficient, cost-effective solutions
As recently as a few years ago, small businesses faced a difficult bind when it came to file sharing services and large file transfer. Business file sharing enterprise solutions were typically designed for larger companies and priced to match. Quality small-scale solutions, on the other hand, simply didn’t exist.
The result? Smaller companies were left out in the cold when it came to robust knowledge management. Smaller businesses were stuck with outmoded solutions, such as emails for file sharing and version control and flash drives and file compression software for large file transfers.
Thankfully, a lot has changed. Today, business owners have a wide range of file sharing services to choose from, many of them designed from the ground up to offer affordable enterprise solutions for small to medium businesses.
Significant challenges remain, however – specifically, selecting the right service, installing it correctly, and maintaining it over time.

Here’s how a file sharing service can support your business
Improved collaboration
While file sharing services vary in features and basic setup, all these platforms work around the same basic premise: Centralized file storage on a secure cloud server. Centralized data is a game-changer. Instead of having dozens of duplicate files stored in different places across servers and hard drives, through a file sharing service, you can consolidate your digital assets into one central repository, sharing files seamlessly across remote and onsite teams.
Greater data security
A cloud-based file sharing service also offers greater file storage security. Reputable services are conscientiously compliant with a long list of cybersecurity best practices, making their platform – and the data you store within it – extremely secure from cyberattack. Moreover, file sharing services offer daily (in some cases even hourly) data backups that you can access at any time. And because your data is stored offsite on a secure server it’s safe from physical damage and theft.
Large file transfer
Large file transfer can be a challenge for remote teams. Emails typically impose restrictive upload limits, physical file storage devices like thumb drives aren’t practical for remote teams, and working with non-enterprise large file transfer services is too slow and size-limited for anything but occasional use. A small-business focused file sharing service allows you to share files of any size swiftly and reliably.
Remote maintenance
Another significant benefit of managing your data through a cloud-based file sharing service is that you can safely give access to a trusted technical support partner like Nerds On Call. This gives you access to a wide range of cost-effective remote technical support services, reducing your reliance on costly onsite IT consultants for technical support.
Instant support
Subscribing to a file sharing service also gives you access to instant support should you encounter a technical issue requiring immediate resolution. Let’s say a newly onboarded staff person in your company needs to perform an urgent large file transfer for a big project on a tight deadline — but they don’t know how. If your company manages its digital assets through a file sharing service you could contact Nerds On Call for help. A member of our support team would log in to your system and guide your team member through the large file transfer process.
