Case Study: David Williams & Associates achieves centralized, affordable on-premise file sharing and mobile access with FileCloud

David Williams & Associates share links, large files, and folders with staff and clients

David Williams & Associates, a 25‑year‑old supplier of playground and park equipment serving Ohio and Kentucky, faced a modern IT problem: decades of paper‑based processes and rapidly growing digital assets that made storage, collaboration, and large‑file email delivery increasingly untenable. Sending big files was overloading the mail server and field staff lacked reliable access to project files, so the company needed a secure, affordable way to centralize storage and enable easy file sharing.

The company deployed FileCloud by Tonido as an on‑premise solution, giving staff and clients link‑based access to large files and folders via WebUI, CloudDrive desktop and an iOS app. A unified central repository organized data, freed mail server space, and improved field collaboration; after evaluating alternatives, they selected FileCloud for on‑prem storage, SMB‑friendly pricing, and responsive support.
