Frequently Asked Questions

How can I access my files online?

Your files are stored on a remote server and are accessible via any computer. You can access them on any computer with an internet connection. Just logon to the website and input the username and password you chose when you set up your account.

How secure is this cloud storage service?

These services use encryption technology identical to that used by banks to maintain the privacy and security of your files and information, making them as secure as possible.

What is online file backup?

File backup done online means storing files through the internet from your computer to a backup company’s hard disk. It enables you to store any files from your computer’s hard disk, including documents, program settings, photos, and so on.

Is data safe in SaaS systems?

This is one very important question which most potential customers of this technology ask. Today, SaaS is adopted by many companies around the world for their banking and payroll systems and there seems to be scope for little complaint anywhere. Also, it is important to consider that SaaS vendors like VpsCity Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) are definitely in a better position to invest in security and backup systems than most small to medium scale businesses.

What Is Cloud Syncing and File Sharing?

Online file sharing services are among the most useful techniques in use for businesses, regardless of their size. Large and small sized files and documents can be easily shared, and most services can be accessed on a host of mobile devices.
Once the software uploads the desired files, only an administrator of the system is empowered to edit or modify the inputs in any document. This ensures the safety of critically important information. Nevertheless, file sharing systems are very simple and easy to use, even for those who are not very skilled at computing.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is stored in separate data centres in the South Africa and we use multiple drive arrays to ensure your data is never lost and available to you at all times whilst keeping it secure and fast to access.
