In 2018, the educational institutions AOC Oost and Groene Welle merged into one organization: the Zone.college. Niels Bunskoek: "The merger was quite a challenge, also in terms of IT. We completed the merger last summer, and then we had time to compare different file transfer solutions side by side. First and foremost was that the solution could be run locally and that the ease of use was high. As an educational institution, we have a limited budget, so we looked at pricing with a keen eye. FileCap emerged as the most suitable solution." Not only should the product score high quality, the educational organization believes that the cooperation with the supplier must also be equal. Bunskoek explains: "With large software vendors, you are often no more than a number. That's not a bad thing if everything is running fine. But if something goes wrong, or you have a special request, it's nice if the supplier listens to you and takes you seriously. That's what FileCap does! One example: the password to open mail attachments is sent via SMS. We were already working with an SMS center and wanted to continue using it. FileCap then added it to their SMS provider list. This shows that FileCap likes to think with us, and that creates a lot of trust."

Currently, 700 GGD employees use FileCap, and in the past year, 190,000 documents have been securely uploaded and forwarded. "These figures show that our employees are using FileCap frequently and without problems. As an IT administrator, I am also very pleased with the solution. Many companies do not realize that e-mail is a relatively old-fashioned product, where it is possible for uninvited guests to look in. For us as a GGD, it is essential to combat this, and to email files in such a way that security is guaranteed. With FileCap, we have this nicely taken care of."

GRID handles the IT environment for some 1,800 users. "We are working hard every day to keep the continuity and quality of our services high. Offering a secure environment in which sensitive data can be sent is of course part of that." To get municipal employees enthusiastic and well-informed about FileCap right away, a clear user manual was created. "People use Outlook, and with the FileCap plug-in, employees can send sensitive data securely with one check mark in the taskbar. The data is retrieved by the recipient, who can only open the file if he has the password. This password, of course, must meet certain security standards, and that is enforceable."

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I also send large files with FileCap?

Sending large files is often a challenge, especially if the files are too large to send by email through an app like Outlook. Fortunately, with FileCap, this is no problem at all.

FileCap is a solution for securely and easily sharing files to and from any location. No matter the size of the files you want to send, FileCap allows you to send them easily and quickly.

Let's look at some examples of large files you can send with FileCap:

  • A video in 4K resolution: these files can easily exceed 100 GB in size, but with FileCap, sending them is no problem at all.
  • A 3D animation: these files are often very large and would not normally be able to be sent by e-mail. With FileCap, however, sending them is a simple task.
  • A series of high-resolution photos: if you want to send a large amount of high-resolution photos, this can lead to several gigabytes of data. With FileCap, however, you can easily send these files.

Sending these large files with FileCap is not only easy, it's also secure. FileCap uses secure servers and encryption to ensure that your files are sent and stored securely.

In short, if you want to send large files, FileCap offers the perfect solution. It is easy to use, fast and secure. Try it out today and experience for yourself how easy it is to send large files with FileCap.

Does FileCap have any certifications?

Yes, FileCap has the ISO 27001 certification.

ISO 27001 certification is an international standard for information security. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The standard defines requirements for a security management system (ISMS) and outlines how an organization can manage its information security.

Since April 1, 2021, Contec has been certified to the ISO 27001 standard. This means that the company meets strict information security requirements. Contec's ISMS has been tested and approved by an independent certification body.

Contec is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal data of its customers and users. Contec's FileCap solution is fully compliant with ISO 27001 certification. This means that the FileCap solution has been designed and implemented according to the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard and that Contec's BMS has been integrated into the FileCap solution.

In addition, the FileCap solution is also GDPR-compliant. GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation, the European data protection legislation. This legislation applies to all organizations that process personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU). In the Netherlands, this legislation has been transformed into the AVG, the General Data Protection Regulation.

The GDPR imposes strict requirements on the processing of personal data and gives individuals more control over their own data. For example, organizations must be transparent about how they process personal data and meet specific requirements for obtaining consent to process personal data.

The FileCap solution meets these requirements and therefore provides a secure and reliable way to share and manage files. Contec is proud of its ISO 27001 certification and its GDPR-compliant FileCap solution and remains committed to ensuring the security and privacy of its customers and users.

Can FileCap also be used to safely receive files?

Yes, with FileCap you can easily receive large files no matter where you are or what device you are using. There are two ways you can receive large files with FileCap:

  1. Invitations: with FileCap's invitation feature, you can easily send invitations to people to send files to you. You can send the invitation via email or share a direct link to the FileCap portal. The recipient just has to click on the link to send the files to you.
  2. FileCap portal: you can also use the FileCap portal to receive files. The portal is a Web application that allows people to send files to you without having to install an account or software. The portal is easy to use and can be fully customized to match your organization's corporate identity.

Let's look at some examples of large files you can receive with FileCap:

  1. A video presentation: imagine you want to receive a video presentation from a colleague working at another location. The presentation is made in high resolution and is therefore too large to send by e-mail. With FileCap, you can easily send an invitation to your colleague or use the FileCap portal to receive the presentation.
  2. A series of high-resolution photos: if you want to receive a large amount of high-resolution photos from a client, this can add up to several gigabytes of data. With FileCap, you can easily send an invitation to the client or use the FileCap portal to receive the photos.

Receiving large files with FileCap is not only easy, it's also secure. FileCap uses secure servers and encryption to ensure that your files are sent and stored safely.

What is the difference between FileCap and WeTransfer?

The main difference for our customers is the fact that our cloud data always stays within Europe and is therefore not subject to the Patriot Act of the United States. In addition, there are a number of other important differences, such as a simple pricing model with no additional fees for extra features, the "invite function" that allows you to ask someone to send you something and for example and, of course, the Outlook and Office 365 add-ins.

WeTransfer is aimed primarily at content creators such as advertising agencies, media and design agencies and video platforms. FileCap focuses primarily on companies that want to exchange (large) files in a secure way. Of course with FileCap you can easily send any large file, but the extra security options and integration in Microsoft Outlook, make our solution a business application for any company that wants to send sensitive data securely.

Can I also use FileCap with Gmail or Hotmail?

Yes! There are options for using FileCap in conjunction with Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud mail, Yahoo Mail or other email providers.

  1. If you use Gmail or Hotmail or another online mail provider through your web browser, you can simply go to your FileCap portal, log in there with your email address and securely send a message or files to recipients. If you have this set up within FileCap, you will get a confirmation of your sent message. If a recipient reads the message or downloads files, you will also receive a notification of that and if you receive a reply from a recipient, you will receive a notification of that in your mailbox and you can read the reply on the FileCap portal.
  2. If you use Hotmail, Gmail or another e-mail service in conjunction with Outlook, you can also choose to use the FileCap Outlook add-in. You can then register this with your own e-mail address and link it with your FileCap environment. After registering, the FileCap add-in will allow you to easily email and send files securely.
  3. Do you have an e-mail address that ends in @hotmail.com or @outlook.com? Then you can also very easily add FileCap's add-in to your webmail environment from your mailbox. Start a new email, click on the 3 dots at the bottom of the screen (next to the OneDrive icon) and choose "Download Add-ons." Then click on "My plug-ins" and choose "Add custom plug-in" and then "Add from file...". From FileCap's administrator interface, you can download a manifest file (an XML file). You can upload it here. Then you can activate the add-in and use it immediately.

It is currently not (yet) possible to use FileCap with the Google Chrome browser via an Extension. It is possible that this will be possible in the future. Keep an eye on our website for this!

FileCap is awesome!
