In short: Acronis Cyber Files Cloud is Acronis's file sync and share service for business, managed in the Acronis console, that lets staff create, store and share work files securely from any device. Acronis has reorganised its product pages around Acronis Cyber Platform, so we confirm current availability, features and licensing for your organisation before you buy.
What Acronis Cyber Files Cloud is
Acronis Cyber Files Cloud is the file sync and share service that Acronis has offered to service providers alongside its backup and security, so that staff can create and securely share work content from anywhere, at any time and on any device. It is managed in the same Acronis console as Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Cyber Protect Cloud), which means backup, security and file sharing sit with one supplier and on one invoice.
Acronis has recently reorganised its website around Acronis Cyber Platform, and file sync and share does not currently have a dedicated product page there. Before recommending it we check with Acronis which capabilities, apps and storage locations are available for new accounts, and tell you plainly if another product would serve you better.
Questions to settle before choosing file sync and share
Whichever product you choose, the same questions decide whether file sharing works for your organisation:
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Who needs access, and from which devices? | Determines the apps you need and how many people to license |
| Will you share with clients or suppliers? | External sharing needs clear rules, link expiry and permissions |
| Where must the data be held? | UK GDPR and customer contracts may set data location requirements |
| How long must files be kept? | Retention and version history should match your records policy |
| What do you already use? | If you are standardised on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, their own file services may already cover the need |
Answering these first stops you paying for a second file platform that staff will not adopt.
How it is licensed
We confirm the current licence options and metric for Acronis file sync and share with Acronis when you ask for a quote, together with the storage location your data would use. Through Forever Systems any Acronis service is billed monthly on usage on the same invoice as your other subscriptions, so there is no separate contract to manage. Ask us for a quote with your user numbers and approximate data volume.
Who it suits
A separate file sync and share service suits organisations that are not standardised on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, or that want a controlled area for sharing with clients, such as accountants exchanging documents with clients or design firms sharing large files. If you already use OneDrive or Google Drive, protect them with Microsoft 365 backup or Google Workspace backup instead. Compare other tools in file sharing and collaboration.
How we help
We check availability with Acronis, compare it with the file sharing you already have, and recommend the simplest option. If you go ahead, we set up the account and sharing policies, help move existing folders in, and handle licence changes as people join and leave.

What is Acronis Cyber Files Cloud?
It is Acronis's business file sync and share service, managed in the Acronis console, that lets staff create, store and share work files securely from any device.
How is Acronis Cyber Files Cloud licensed?
We confirm the current licence options with Acronis when you ask for a quote. Through Forever Systems it would be billed monthly on usage, on the same invoice as your other Acronis services.
Should I use Acronis Cyber Files Cloud if I have Microsoft 365?
Usually not for everyday file sharing, because OneDrive and SharePoint are already included. Protect them with Acronis Microsoft 365 Backup instead, and consider a separate service only for controlled sharing with clients.
