Case Study: Large Media and Entertainment Conglomerate achieves VPN-less, secure remote collaboration while preserving Active Directory and NTFS permissions with FileCloud

Media and Entertainment Conglomerate Harnesses the Power of FileCloud Integrations

A division of a global media and entertainment conglomerate that produces animation-heavy TV series and films needed to support hybrid and remote work without disrupting tightly coordinated creative workflows. Teams were struggling with slow, unreliable VPN access to massive on‑premises files, and IT needed a scalable, non‑disruptive way to provide remote access while preserving existing Active Directory and NTFS permissions.

The company deployed FileCloud, which integrated with AD, reproduced the existing network folder structure and granular NTFS permissions, and enabled VPN‑less access from any device (including SAML SSO for secure sign‑on). As a result, creative staff regained seamless, secure access to network shares with no workflow interruption, and the studio later adopted additional FileCloud features (such as online editing via WOPI) to further improve collaboration.
