SME cloud storage in French-speaking Switzerland

Swiss online storage for SME teams

Store, share and back up company files on a clear Nextcloud foundation: managed Fuseboat Drive space, a dedicated Nextcloud server hosted on our Swiss infrastructure, or a Nextcloud deployment on your own server. Access rights, migration, backups and regional support stay scoped.

Operable storage

Online storage for SMEs: files, rights, backups and access under control

Business folder structure, groups, roles and access rights documented

External sharing with expiry, clear rules and access tracking

Backups, versions and restore tested before go-live

Migration from NAS, Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or existing file servers

Fuseboat Drive space, dedicated Nextcloud server or deployment on your own server

We set up usable Nextcloud storage for SMEs that need to move away from scattered folders, unclear access and untested backups. You can rent a managed Fuseboat Drive space, request a dedicated Nextcloud server hosted by Fusengine, or deploy Nextcloud on your own server.

The migration starts from the current reality: local NAS, file server, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, user folders or a mix of several tools. Whether the team works from an office in Lausanne or several sites around Nyon, we review usage, volumes, duplicates, access risks and continuity needs before moving data.

Delivery is not just opening a cloud space. Depending on the need, Fusengine delivers a ready-to-use shared space, a dedicated Nextcloud instance hosted on our own Swiss servers, or a Nextcloud installation on your infrastructure with readable structure, tested backups and identified support.

Storage use cases

Share, back up and migrate without losing control

This page covers the issues that actually block SMEs: scattered files, unclear rights, permanent external links, untested backups and employee departures. Each use case explains what must be delivered so online storage remains usable every day, not just opened in a generic cloud tool.

Centralization

Collaborative storage to centralize team files

Useful cloud storage starts with a clear folder structure. Folders by department, project or client avoid local copies and conflicting versions.

Desktop and mobile sync stay controlled: an office in Lausanne, a team in Nyon or mobile collaborators can work quickly without turning every computer into a point of fragility.

  • Structured team folders
  • Desktop and mobile access
  • Multi-device sync
  • Version history

Access rights

Internal and external sharing with readable rules

Permanent public links and forgotten accounts create business risk. We scope groups, roles, expiry, passwords and employee departures.

External sharing remains possible for clients, fiduciaries or partners, for example between management in Geneva and an agency in Montreux, but with rules the team can understand.

  • Groups and roles
  • Links with expiry
  • Employee departure process
  • Client or partner sharing

Continuity

Backups, versions and tested restore paths

Storage is not backup. For a shop in Montreux or a technical office in Neuchâtel, a deletion, lost device or ransomware incident requires versions, clear retention and a restore path that has already been tested.

We separate synchronization, backup and archiving to avoid surprises when a folder must be recovered.

  • File versions
  • Retention policy
  • Restore tests
  • Recovery plan

Managed Nextcloud, dedicated server or deployment on your server

When the context requires it, Fusengine can rent a Fuseboat Drive space, deploy a dedicated Nextcloud server on our own Swiss servers, or install Nextcloud on your own server.

Migration takes over NAS, local server, Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or scattered folders with inventory, cleanup, transfer, team cutover and access documentation.

Method

Controlled rollout from audit to support

Storage is treated as a business operating system: usage, rights, migration, backup and support are scoped together before cutover. This method reduces interruption, clarifies responsibility, protects daily operations and lets multi-site teams keep working while existing files are taken over.

  • 01

    Usage audit

    We identify sources, volumes, shares, accounts, risks and the team's real habits, on site or remotely depending on migration constraints.

  • 02

    Structure and rights

    Folder tree, groups, roles, external links, MFA and departure rules are defined.

  • 03

    Controlled migration

    Files are taken over from NAS, local server or existing cloud with tests and a cutover window.

  • 04

    Backup and restore

    Versions, retention and restores are checked before the storage is considered operational.

  • 05

    Team handover

    Daily usage is explained: sharing, sync, simple restore, links and limits to respect.

  • 06

    Support and adjustments

    Fusengine remains available for requests, incidents, joiners and leavers, with support adapted to teams spread across La Côte, the Riviera and other French-speaking sites.

Responsible choice

Why not choose a simple consumer storage solution

Google Drive, Dropbox or a NAS can be enough at first. The issue starts when rights, restores and support become critical: an SME must know where files live, who can open them, how to restore a version and who intervenes when the team changes.

  • Documented rights

    Access does not rely on one person's memory. A management team in Geneva, an agency in Montreux or an outsourced office keep readable roles.

  • Tested restore

    An untested backup is still a hypothesis. Versions and restores are verified before a shop or local service needs to recover a folder.

  • Swiss support

    The technical choice, hosting on Swiss servers, migration and support are scoped from Vevey for Swiss SMEs, including bilingual teams in Fribourg and technical offices in Neuchâtel.
