The increase in data security concerns are expected to drive the growth of the enterprise file synchronization and sharing market in the coming years. Data security is a crucial aspect of a complete security plan that includes recognizing, evaluating, and mitigating threats connected to sensitive data security. Many businesses are concerned about the security of their digital data. To safeguard the data, enterprise file-synchronization and sharing (EFSS) platforms integrate security features such as authentication, data encryption, containerization, and tracking. According to AAG IT Services, a UK-based provider of IT products and services, globally, there were over 236. 1 million ransomware attacks, and 53. 35 million US citizens were affected by cybercrime in the first half of 2022. Also, according to Stefanini Group, a Brazil-based IT service management company, in 2021-2022, there has been a 300% increase in cybercrime.

The increasing remote work is expected to boost the growth of the enterprise file synchronization and sharing (EFSS) market going forward. Remote work, also known as telecommuting or telework, refers to a work arrangement in which employees or workers perform their job tasks and responsibilities from a location outside of the traditional workplace, typically from their homes or other remote locations. EFSS solutions offer a platform for geographically dispersed employees to seamlessly share, access, and collaborate on documents and files over the Internet. For instance, in September 2022, according to a report published by the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, nearly half of the workforce in the District of Columbia, accounting for 48. 3%, engaged in remote work, marking the highest percentage of home-based workers among states and state equivalents in 2021. Additionally, states with the most significant proportions of remote workers included Washington (24. 2%), Maryland (24. 0%), Colorado (23. 7%), and Massachusetts (23. 7%). Therefore, the increasing remote work is driving the growth of the enterprise file synchronization and sharing (EFSS) market.

Major companies in the enterprise file synchronization and sharing (EFSS) market are creating technologically advanced solutions, such as storage platforms, to enhance customer service with advanced features. Storage platforms refer to systems or services that provide the infrastructure and tools necessary for storing, managing, and retrieving data, allowing users to securely save information in either physical or cloud-based environments. For instance, in October 2023, Hitachi Vantara, a US-based company that assists businesses in leveraging data for innovation and growth, launched the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One. This platform is a single hybrid cloud data solution designed to offer a unified data plane for both structured and unstructured data across block, file, and object storage. It enables businesses to seamlessly operate various applications on-premises and in the public cloud while minimizing the complexities often faced today. The platform simplifies the management of mission-critical workloads at scale by providing a unified architecture that integrates control plane, data fabric, and data plane capabilities across block, file, object, cloud, mainframe, and software-defined storage workloads. By eliminating infrastructure, data, and application silos, the Virtual Storage Platform One equips organizations with a dependable data foundation that allows them to access the necessary information when and where needed, all managed through a single AI-enabled software stack.
