CHICAGO, IL – (October 27, 2015) – nGenx, a cloud services pioneer in the delivery of hosted workspaces, including applications, data, and desktops, today announced the release of nFinity® Drive 2.0. The new solution synchronizes corporate data, allowing users to access and share business files and folders easily and securely. When combined with the nFinity® nWorkspace™ Workspace as a Service, the enhanced file and folder sharing solution provides greater workplace mobility. The business-class service provides AES-256 military grade encryption for fast and secure file storage and access from any location or computing device.

According to IDC’s Worldwide File Synchronization and Sharing Forecast, “The [file sync and share] market will grow to $2.3 billion by 2018, representing a 23.1% five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) since 2013. The healthy growth rate through 2018 will continue to be driven by the shift to cloud, mobile use of file sync and share (FSS), and the ability to share and collaborate with others effectively.”(1)
