Gladinet Triofox

Triofox is Gladinet's enterprise-focused product — a single-tenant, HTTPS-based storage gateway designed specifically for internal IT teams and CIOs who need to modernise their existing on-premises file server infrastructure without the disruption, cost, and risk of a full cloud migration. Where CentreStack is built for MSPs managing multiple client tenants, Triofox is built for a single organisation managing its own environment.

The core proposition is straightforward: Triofox sits in front of your existing Windows file server and transforms it into a secure, remotely accessible cloud file server. Users access their files through a native mapped drive letter on Windows, mounted volumes on Mac, or native apps on iOS and Android — all over HTTPS, completely eliminating the need for slow, unreliable VPN connections. No data migration required. No folder restructuring. No re-permissioning. Your file server stays exactly where it is, and Triofox simply makes it accessible from everywhere.

Active Directory integration is the drop-in kind. Triofox imports and automatically enforces existing AD identities and granular NTFS folder permissions across every access method. If a user has read-only access to a folder on the local network, they have read-only access through Triofox as well — no exceptions, no re-configuration. This is the single most important differentiator against SharePoint and OneDrive, which require rebuilding permissions from scratch during migration.

Global file locking works automatically when files are opened for editing — whether in Microsoft Word, AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Cloud, or any other application. This prevents the version conflicts and "conflicting copy" files that plague consumer-grade sync tools. For organisations working with large files — engineering drawings, architectural plans, media assets — Triofox supports binary differential sync that only transfers the changed portions of files, reducing bandwidth by up to 99%.

On-demand sync minimises bandwidth and local storage consumption by caching only the files users actually open. Users can also selectively mark folders for offline access, which automatically synchronise when connectivity is restored. Ransomware protection monitors for suspicious rapid file changes, blocks compromised endpoints, and provides snapshot-based versioning for rapid recovery.

Triofox deploys on a standard Windows Server with IIS and SQL Server. It is storage-agnostic — it works with local NAS/SAN, Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi, or OpenStack Swift as the backend. This gives enterprise IT teams the flexibility to use whatever storage makes sense for their environment, including hybrid configurations that span on-premises and cloud storage.
