FileCloud is an enterprise content collaboration platform developed by CodeLathe Inc., a private software company headquartered in New York City, with offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Limerick, Ireland.[1][2] FileCloud was introduced as a successor to Tonido and developed for enterprise file synchronization, sharing, and compliance-oriented data management.

History

edit

FileCloud originated from Tonido, a peer-to-peer personal cloud solution developed by CodeLathe in 2008.[1] CodeLathe, founded by Madhan Kanagavel and Manoj Mohandas, initially marketed Tonido and related hardware such as the TonidoPlug to home users.[2] In 2012, the company introduced FileCloud, marking its transition into enterprise software.[3][4]

In December 2021, FileCloud raised $30 million in a Series A funding round led by Savant Growth, with participation from Kennet Partners, and secured an additional $10 million credit facility from Avidbank.[5] Following the round, Ray Downes was appointed CEO and Peter Melerud became Chief Revenue Officer, while Kanagavel moved to the role of President & CTO.

In 2022, the company opened a European headquarters in Limerick, Ireland. FileCloud acquired Signority, a Canadian electronic signature and document workflow provider in May 2024.[6][7] In January 2025, it received further investment from Level Structured Capital, its first growth equity funding since the Series A round.[8]

Features

edit

FileCloud provides tools for file sharing, synchronization, and backup. The platform integrates with directory services such as Active Directory, LDAP, and SAML/SSO, and is accessible through web, desktop, and mobile platforms.[5]

Security features include encryption of data in transit and at rest, support for two-factor authentication, and ransomware protection through versioning and anomaly detection.[6] FileCloud also offers compliance tools for regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.[7]

Deployment is available in three deployment modes: self-hosted (FileCloud Server), fully managed cloud (FileCloud Online), and hybrid configurations.[9][8]

Leadership and Governance

edit

Following its Series A, Ray Downes became CEO and Peter Melerud joined as CRO.[10]

Recognition and Awards

edit

FileCloud has been included in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Content Collaboration Platforms. [11]

From a cloud partnership standpoint, in 2019, FileCloud was designated an AWS Advanced Technology Partner. The recognition was followed by achieving the AWS Digital Workplace Competency.[12]

Notable Events

edit

In December 2021, FileCloud secured its first institutional funding by securing $30 million in a Series A funding round led by Savant Growth Fund I LP, with participation from Kennet Partners. In conjunction with this equity financing, the company also obtained a $10 million credit facility from Avidbank.[10]

In July 2022, FileCloud announced the opening of its EMEA headquarters and R&D center in Limerick, Ireland. The expansion was announced in collaboration with IDA Ireland, with plans to create 50 new roles in software engineering, operations, sales, and marketing.[13]

In May 2024, FileCloud completed its first acquisition by acquiring Signority, a Canada-based electronic signature and digital workflow provider founded in 2010.[14] The acquisition also retained Signority’s Canadian operations and leadership team, including CEO Jane He, who continues to lead the e-signature business unit.[15]

In January 2025, FileCloud received investment from Level Structured Capital (an affiliate of Level Equity). Although the amount was undisclosed, the investment was intended to support product development and international expansion.[16]

FileCloud joined the AWS ISV Accelerate Program in 2025. This program enables select AWS partners to co-sell their services to enterprise customers.[16]
