When it comes to massive files, many organizations still rely on old-fashioned, on-premises file servers and filers. They’re hesitant to work on these projects in the cloud because the inherent network latency makes working with massive files difficult. So they stick to an on-premises approach—even though it typically requires wired access and stable VPN connections, which makes sharing and collaborating especially challenging for people working from home, in the field, or on the road.

Egnyte is excited to announce a new collaboration with Microsoft, integrating Egnyte’s data governance and secure collaboration expertise with Microsoft Agent 365 for AI agents. This collaboration is designed to transform how organizations empower their employees, enhancing productivity and decision-making through secure, governed AI. The enterprise landscape is rapidly evolving.

Big projects come with big files. CAD drawings. Media assets. Genomic data. These files aren’t just large—they’re monsters. Moving them from desktops to on-premises servers and back again eats up time, bandwidth, and patience. And when teams hack together workarounds like wired connections, FTP drops, or USB drives, it slows progress and traps files in silos. The cloud should make this easier. Security, flexibility, and access are givens today.

The cloud has transformed collaboration. Teams now share documents, slides, spreadsheets, and more in real time, without worrying about content silos or email chains (a hotspot for inefficient sharing). For most files, it’s seamless. But here’s the reality: Not all work lives comfortably in the cloud. Designers, video editors, engineers, and data scientists are just a few of the professionals who depend on desktop native apps to do their best work.
