About Egnyte

Egnyte is a content collaboration and governance platform for mid-sized companies, especially in construction, life sciences and financial services. It provides cloud file sharing and sync, but its selling point is governance: it scans content for sensitive data, flags risky permissions, detects ransomware patterns and helps meet regulations such as GxP or CMMC. A hybrid option caches files on local storage for offices with large CAD or media files and slow links. AI features for search, summaries and document Q&A are included in every plan. Pricing is per user per month, billed annually, across several tiers, with a free trial and no free plan. It runs in the browser with desktop apps for Windows and macOS and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Small teams may find it complex and costly; its strength shows in organisations with compliance requirements.

Best for: Regulated mid-sized firms that need file sharing plus data governance.
