On the Radar: AeroFS
|
|
AeroFS provides an on-premise peer-to-peer file sync-and-share platform, upon which it’s now developed a content collaboration and team messaging tool called Amium.
Who?
AeroFS is a specialist provider of file sharing and collaboration tools, headquartered in Palo Alto, CA.
What does it do?
Having spent its first few years focusing solely on the on-premise enterprise file sync-and-share (EFSS) market with the product that shared its name, AeroFS (the company) has now broadened its portfolio to cover much more of a collaboration footprint via a cloud offering. The company now provides two products:
- Amium – an integrated EFSS / collaboration / messaging tool focused on teams in organisations of all sizes that value a cloud content solution, launched in 2016.
- ‘Classic’ AeroFS – an on-premise file sync-and-share platform focused on enterprises that require an on-premise solution, launched in 2013.
Amium
Amium is a content collaboration / file sync-and-share tool built the on AeroFS platform. Its file sync-and-share capabilities are as with Classic AeroFS (see below): files are synced to the end user’s computer to be worked on locally. In addition, it enables users to have discussions around those files in context, with users receiving alerts when files are updated or commented upon based on metadata and @mentions.
Version history is tied to the conversation around each file, so collaborating users can easily look through a thread to see what changes were made, by whom, and what the discussion was that led up to the change. Conversations in Amium look like chat (see figure below); users create new channels for conversations within a shared folder. Editing tools can open the file from within the thread too.

Amium is hosted on AWS’ cloud, inheriting AWS’ security and compliance features (such as ISO 27001 compliance, PCI certification and SOC reports).
