<p>With the government's announcement that it's back to the shed for office workers, it leaves workers once again in precarious working positions for those whose employers hadn't really sorted out a reliable home-working set up. Employees home office may have left them unable to access files easily and unable to process documentation.  it is appearing clear to businesses that maybe it is time to invest in tools that allow workers a level of continuity between the office and the home office.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Luckily, there are tools at hand that can help businesses, and this time there is a real need to finally make the jump and invest in the technology they've long-needed!</p>

<p>Here are some things that you might need to think
about:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>What programmes do employees need access to?</li><li>Which files will your employees need access to?</li><li>What systems currently hold the information?</li><li>Can they access the data remotely?</li></ul>

<p>77% of remote employees say they're&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cosocloud.com/press-releases/connectsolutions-survey-shows-working-remotely-benefits-employers-and-employees">more productive when working from home</a>. To get them set up with the best chances for success, here are steps that you as an employer can take to ensure employees are well prepared for their time away from the office:</p>

<h3 class="has-text-align-left">How do you provide staff with the tools to do their
required work?</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are logistical issues associated with working
remotely; however, you can overcome them with a bit of planning.&nbsp;</p>

<h4 class="has-text-align-left">Adopt software that lets users log in from any
device</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Online software allows you to manage your services better, gives employees and students tools to collaborate with, and better protection of sensitive data.</p>

<h4 class="has-text-align-left">Using software outside of your organisation</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With many Universities already set to run online
learning classes from next week, it makes sense for them to make their internal
learning materials available in the cloud for students to gain easy access.</p>

<h4 class="has-text-align-left">Access to files outside of the school network</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As Universities, Colleges and schools have
on-premise servers; it can be not particularly easy for staff to access those
files once they have left campus.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Working from home or off-campus is easy as Foldr
can address these issues; allowing you to add on-premise networked storage to
Foldr so that you can access files from outside of the network.</p>

<h4 class="has-text-align-left">Small business access to files from home</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you are running a small business and have a
local network server set up, you will probably need to set staff up with access
to your file servers from outside the network. Many people attempt to do this
with costly and clunky remote VPN connections. However, you won't need these if
you use Foldr - all you need is an internet connection, and you can add your
network server to Foldr for easy access to files from home.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>How do you get access to your files using Foldr?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foldr has apps for most platforms, including:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>Desktop client for Windows</li><li>Desktop client for macOS</li><li>Apps for Andriod and iOS</li><li>For those who don't have the above, there's a web-based version for accessing files on the move.</li></ul>

<!-- wp:heading {"align":"left","level":3} -->
<h3 class="has-text-align-left">Does Foldr allow for secure file access?</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foldr uses multiple layers of security measures to
ensure that files are transmitted safely and viewed or edited by appropriate
users. Some of the security measures it includes are:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>HTTPS/SSL encryption to ensure that your data is secure in transit.</li><li>Multi-factor authentication</li><li>Auditing and visualisation tools let you see who's accessing and sharing files and folders</li><li>Password-protected file sharing links and email</li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And, because it's using your server, you have
complete ownership of your files; no need to worry about whether or not there
is anyone else with access to the data or be part of the big downtime bubble
when a major Cloud provider has an issue.</p>
