Core Capabilities

Everything Your Team Needs to Stay in Sync

From real-time desktop sync to cloud-enabling your existing file server, AXIS CloudSync covers every file access scenario your organization requires.

Real-Time Bidirectional Sync

Files sync instantly across all registered devices the moment a change is saved. No manual uploads, no scheduled jobs — changes propagate in real time across desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and the web portal.

Windows Thick Client

A lightweight background agent integrates directly with Windows Explorer. Sync status overlays show the state of every file at a glance. Files are synced to a local folder for offline access. Supports Windows 10/11 (32-bit & 64-bit).

Windows Thin Client (VDI & Citrix)

Designed for shared workstations, VDI environments, and Citrix/RDS sessions where local file caching is not permitted. The Thin Client provides on-demand cloud access without storing any files locally — keeping PHI off shared machines and satisfying strict HIPAA endpoint controls.

macOS Desktop Client

A lightweight background agent integrates directly with macOS Finder. Sync status overlays show the state of every file at a glance. Supports macOS 11 Big Sur and later.

iOS & Android Mobile Apps

Full-featured mobile apps give users access to all their files from any iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Offline access (pin files for offline viewing), auto camera upload to a synced Camera Uploads folder, file locking, and secure share links are all included.

Web Portal Access

Access, upload, share, and manage files from any browser — no software required. The web portal supports file preview, version history, sharing, and full folder management.

Selective Sync

Choose exactly which folders sync to each device. Keep large archive folders in the cloud while syncing only active project folders locally — preserving disk space without sacrificing access.

LAN Sync

When multiple devices are on the same local network, files transfer directly between them at LAN speeds rather than routing through the cloud. Dramatically reduces bandwidth usage and sync time in office environments.

File Server Enablement

Cloud-enable your existing Windows file server without migrating data. AXIS CloudSync installs on the server and syncs its shares to the cloud, making them accessible from anywhere while preserving your existing folder structure and permissions.

Delta Sync Technology

Only the changed portions of a file are transmitted — not the entire file. This block-level delta sync dramatically reduces upload times for large files like databases, CAD drawings, and video files.

Pause & Resume Sync

Users can pause sync at any time to preserve bandwidth during video calls or large downloads, then resume with a single click. Bandwidth throttle settings are also available in the admin console.

FILE SERVER ENABLEMENT

Cloud-Enable Your Existing
Windows File Server

No need to migrate your data. Install the AXIS CloudSync agent on your Windows file server and your existing shares become instantly accessible from anywhere — while preserving your folder structure, permissions, and workflows exactly as they are today.

  • Syncs existing Windows file server shares to the cloud
  • Preserves NTFS permissions and folder structure
  • No data migration required
  • Users access files from desktop, mobile, and web
  • Admin controls storage quotas and access policies
