10 Unique Egnyte Features

Learn what sets Egnyte apart from the crowd. These distinctive Egnyte features are crucial for your business to run efficiently and productively.

  1. Modify or deny permissions at any level of the folder hierarchy.

    Granular permissions enable customers to organize their data in ways that replicate existing on-premises permissions. Create folders for groups in the organization and sub-folders for specific sets of sensitive data.

  2. Work on your files without using your local hard drive.

    Egnyte Desktop App allows users to continue working on their desktop while files are stored in the cloud. You can even sync folders for offline access so you're never without important files.

  3. Sync your on-premises storage and access your content anywhere.

    Storage Sync allows offline access to content at LAN speed, enabling users to be productive even when working with large files or from sites with limited connectivity. Updates to files are synced between on-premises storage and the cloud
