What’s the difference between Egnyte AFS and the newer Egnyte Intelligent File System (IFS)?

Egnyte IFS (Intelligent File System) is the newer platform that replaces AFS. For most organisations, the practical upgrades are Egnyte Copilot, stronger built-in PDF tools, smoother workflows, improved cyber security around company files, and double the storage per user (200GB instead of 100GB) — which can reduce overall costs for storage-heavy organisations.

More storage included
