The Hidden Cost of Remote File Access (and How to Fix It)

It’s Not Just an Inconvenience — It’s a Revenue Drain

Your clients want their teams to work from anywhere. But if their remote file access is slow, unreliable, or unsecured, it’s costing them money — and you, as their IT provider, time and resources.

Hidden in every delayed download, connection dropout, and shadow IT workaround are real business costs:

  • Missed deadlines and stalled projects

  • Reduced productivity across teams

  • Higher IT support demands on you as their provider

  • Increased security and compliance risks


Where Traditional Remote Access Falls Short

Many businesses still rely on VPNs, remote desktop gateways, or a patchwork of consumer cloud tools. These come with built-in drawbacks:


  • Slow File Transfers: Remote staff waste time waiting for files to open or save.

  • Shadow IT: Staff resort to personal file-sharing services outside IT’s control.

  • Security Gaps: Data moves without encryption or central oversight.

  • Compliance Issues: Limited or no audit trails for file access.


The result? You’re stuck supporting a slow, high-maintenance solution while your clients remain frustrated.


How UFS Connect Solves the Problem

UFS Connect — available through Cloud Ready Solutions for partners in Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands — gives your clients fast, secure file access without the overhead of traditional solutions:

  • Fast, Optimized Access: Large files open and save in real time.

  • Centralized Control: Keep data on the client’s file server with role-based permissions.

  • Bank-Grade Security: End-to-end encryption, MFA, and full audit logging.

  • No More Shadow IT: Clients get the secure tools they need, so they stop using unapproved apps.
