Case Study: National Federation of the Blind achieves accessible, secure, and affordable centralized file sharing with FileCloud

NFBT sees easy deployment, flawless interworking and great support

The National Federation of the Blind of Texas (NFBT), a state affiliate of the nation’s largest organization led by blind people, needed a way to centralize and share files among remote board members and volunteers while meeting strict requirements for digital accessibility, security and affordability. Existing approaches—individual Dropbox accounts, Office 365/SharePoint or a VPN—failed to provide adequate centralization, control, accessibility or cost-effectiveness.

NFBT implemented FileCloud after a recommendation, choosing it for on‑premises data control, screen reader compatibility (VoiceOver, JAWS, Window‑Eyes) and nonprofit‑friendly pricing. Deployment was straightforward, mobile and desktop apps worked seamlessly for blind and sighted users, and strong vendor support helped the organization centralize files, improve access and streamline collaboration.
