The Global Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing (EFSS) Market size is expected to reach $25.8 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 26.7% CAGR during the forecast period.
Enterprise file synchronization and sharing (EFSS) can be defined as a service that allows users to save files like images, documents, and videos in the cloud or on-premises storage and subsequently access them from multiple computers. In addition, to aid users in storing, reviewing, editing, and sharing files, EFSS services incorporate features such as live document version tracking, commenting, and workflow process management.
Employees can perform collaboration, communications, and content management responsibilities with the help of enterprise file-sharing technologies, which provide an integrated framework. Moreover, some of the prominent growth catalysts for the market are increased security and privacy concerns, as well as a significant change in businesses from traditional file-sharing methods to digital methods.
Enterprise file synchronization and sharing refer to a software solution that allows businesses to securely synchronize and share documents, photographs, videos, and files. Additionally, these technologies are used by businesses to help employees avoid utilizing consumer-based file sharing applications and software to store, access, and manage data. An enterprise workstation, for example, is likely to run Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. In contrast, the operating systems utilized by their staff on mobile devices like tablets and smartphones are Android and iOS. It is quite difficult for an organization or institution to develop a solution that supports all of these platforms. As a result, many vendors in the market offering EFSS solutions have emerged.
Factors such as growth in the number of digital workplaces and mobile workforces, an increase in employee & corporate collaboration and strict government restrictions, and companies' focus on security elements of corporate data is expected to fuel the growth of the industry during the forecasting period. However, a significant cost of EFSS systems is likely to hamper the growth of the industry in the coming years.
