Modern File Storage, Shared Drives, and Private Cloud File Platforms for Business
Cloud Fixer helps businesses replace aging file servers, organize shared storage, and build secure file access for office staff, remote teams, and multi-location organizations.
We offer both Managed Cloud Infrastructure such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, and Self-Hosted / Infrastructure Components such as Vultr-backed storage platforms and Nextcloud deployments.
Whether you need mapped drives, a private file sharing portal, or a fully managed hybrid environment, we can design it, deploy it, manage it, or build it for your team to self-manage.
Practical, professional, and tailored to real-world business needs, from simple shared folders to fully managed private file platforms.

Which Option Is Right for You?
The right file storage solution depends on how your users work, how much control you want, and whether you need simple shared drives, a cloud-managed platform, or a private collaboration portal.
Choose Managed Cloud Infrastructure if you want…
A lower-maintenance option where the provider handles the platform behind the scenes and Cloud Fixer manages the business-side setup.
- Less server maintenance and fewer moving parts
- Business-grade file shares without owning hardware
- Mapped drives for office users
- Enterprise-ready storage tied to Microsoft or AWS ecosystems
- A cleaner move away from older physical file servers
Choose Self-Hosted / Custom Infrastructure if you want…
Greater control, more privacy, more customization, or a lower raw infrastructure cost with Cloud Fixer available to build and manage it.
- A private Dropbox-style portal that you control
- Custom file servers built around your workflow
- Flexible storage and application layers
- Private cloud environments and custom integrations
- A platform that can be managed or handed off to your team
Azure vs AWS vs Nextcloud vs Vultr
These four paths solve different business problems. Cloud Fixer helps match the right platform to your users, workflows, support needs, and long-term goals.
Microsoft Azure Files
A fully managed SMB file share in the cloud for Windows-focused organizations that want mapped drives without maintaining a physical file server.
AWS FSx / EFS
High-performance managed file systems for Windows and Linux workloads, ideal for larger or more cloud-native organizations.
Nextcloud
A private Dropbox-style collaboration platform with web access, sync clients, mobile apps, file sharing, and better remote usability.
Vultr Storage & Compute
Raw infrastructure for custom-built file servers, app-backed storage, or low-cost private storage platforms when flexibility matters.
Common Use Cases We Support
Different teams need file storage in different ways. Cloud Fixer helps align the platform to how your users actually work.
