FileCloud, a leading enterprise file-sharing and data governance platform, has established its regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This launch marks a significant expansion of FileCloud’s Middle East operations, with regional business increasing four-fold over the last three years.
The strategic move aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and responds to the growing demand for a full-service secure content collaboration solution that complies with data sovereignty legislation. The new headquarters will serve as FileCloud’s center of operations for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Ray Downes, CEO of FileCloud, stated that, “Saudi Arabia’s focus on military-grade data security, coupled with our growing KSA customer base, make it the perfect choice for our new regional headquarters. This investment demonstrates our commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s digital transformation journey and providing local enterprises with powerful tools for secure content collaboration and data governance.”
“The US Embassy is proud to support companies like FileCloud as they expand their presence in Saudi Arabia and contribute to the Kingdom’s ambitious goals. FileCloud’s commitment to secure data collaboration and compliance solutions reflects the strong partnership between our nations in advancing digital transformation, innovation, and economic growth. We look forward to seeing FileCloud continue to drive technological progress and support businesses across Saudi Arabia and the broader MENA region,” said Alison Dilworth, the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to Saudi Arabia.
FileCloud’s Compliance Center offers a specialized configuration for KSA’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), connecting compliance requirements with powerful tools and settings to facilitate smooth and simple administration.
FileCloud has emerged as a preferred trusted partner for leading businesses and government organizations across Saudi Arabia, particularly in the energy, finance, public works, and education sectors. Within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, FileCloud has been offering its unique solutions since it onboarded the first customer in 2016.
Essa Arabi, a Cloud Computing Manager at the Shared Services Program in Saudi Arabia, noted that, “FileCloud has greatly supported our business by providing a secure, reliable platform for file sharing and collaboration. It has made managing and sharing sensitive documents much easier and more efficient.”
“Since 2018, The Saudi Telecom Company has been leveraging FileCloud’s market-leading file and content management platform to deliver Solutions by stc Cloud-based “Filevalt” offering – delivering on a highly secure, fully managed data storage and management platform,” said Yasir Hisham Shareefi, Cloud Applications Manager.
Solutions by stc will also introduce FileCloud’s private cloud, on-premises offering, starting in 2025 February, as part of its comprehensive solution set for the Kingdom’s private and public sector customers that prefer to operate their own, hyper-secure file sharing and content collaboration platforms, as per the statement.
