Thinkfree Drive: Secure Self-Hosted Cloud Storage with Integrated Online Office

Businesses today are drowning in sensitive data while facing constant security threats, complex regulations, and inefficient data management.
While public cloud solutions may seem convenient, they often come with steep costs, reduced flexibility, and privacy concerns. This results in a lack of control and insight required to effectively manage their data.
Consequently, many enterprises are considering a shift toward private or hybrid cloud environments to regain control and optimize their IT strategies. A recent Broadcom report revealed that 69% of enterprises are considering repatriating workloads from public cloud to private cloud, with over one-third (35%) already having done so.
This is where Thinkfree Drive comes in. By combining a self-hosted cloud storage with a fully integrated online office suite, it gives you complete ownership of your data while enabling your teams to collaborate securely and in real time.
