Case Study: University of South Carolina achieves secure, scalable on-premise file sharing and unlimited media storage with FileCloud

The University of South Carolina finds a simple and secure file sharing solution

The University of South Carolina’s IT Services needed a simple, secure file-sharing solution for students, athletes, coaches and staff that could handle large training videos, provide granular permissions and auditing, support BYOD mobile apps, and keep intellectual property on‑premises at an affordable cost. Public cloud options proved too expensive, had storage limits and offered minimal monitoring.

After a 15‑day trial, the university adopted Tonido FileCloud, rolling it out to pilot users and migrating all data in under a week. Users praised the mobile apps, simplicity and responsive support; the university now stores unlimited media on its own infrastructure without public‑cloud limits or high costs and is moving toward a campus‑wide implementation.
