How is M-Files different?
Windows integration
M-Files is deeply integrated with Windows and is the only document management solution that has a Windows Explorer user interface that is instantly familiar to anyone who uses Windows.
Application integration
M-Files integrates seamlessly with all Windows applications by virtue of its deeply integrated architecture. This means any application, including Office apps, CAD, accounting and inventory solutions, etc., transparently access M-Files data vaults with standard File commands such as Open, Save, Save as, etc.
Reliability and Performance
M-Files is the only system to offer a "virtual-local" drive that bridges the gap between centralised data storage and local compute resources. With M-Files users work with all the performance and reliability provided by their local computer and hard drive, while M-Files' unique caching mechanism transparently synchronises with the central data vault. Unlike other systems that use mapped network drives to store data, M-Files always delivers fast "local" performance and reliability, even when the network or server is slow or unavailable due to a crash, periods of high loads or network traffic, or when traveling or working from home. As soon as the connection is re-established, M-Files automatically synchronises with the server.
