Case Study: CPA Ontario achieves secure on-premises cloud storage and seamless file sync with FileCloud

CPA Ontario satisfies the file storage needs of thousands of accountants with FileCloud

CPA Ontario, the professional body representing more than 85,000 CPAs in Ontario, needed a user-friendly, cost-effective cloud storage solution that met strict data‑residency and security requirements. The organisation required an on‑premises system that integrated with existing directories, firewalls, encryption and network shares while supporting common protocols and consistent file transfers.

Deploying FileCloud’s on‑premises EFSS gave CPA Ontario a Dropbox‑style experience with real‑time sync, virtual drives, and mobile access across devices, while keeping all data on its own servers. IT administrators gained granular controls (download limits, expirations, anonymous uploads) and seamless integration with existing infrastructure, meeting the organisation’s compliance and security needs.
