Egnyte<\/a> announced today that customers can now store G Suite files inside its storage, security and governance platform. This builds on the support the company previously had for Office 365 documents.<\/p>\n

Egnyte <\/a> CEO and co-founder Vineet Jain says that while many enterprise customers have seen the value of a collaborative office suite like G Suite, they might have stayed away because of compliance concerns (whether that was warranted or not).<\/p>\n

He said that Google has been working on an API for some time that allows companies like Egnyte to decouple G Suite documents from Google Drive. Previously, if you wanted to use G Suite, you no choice but to store the documents in Google Drive.<\/p>\n

Jain acknowledges that the actual integration is pretty much the same as his competitors because Google determined the features. In fact, Box<\/a> and Dropbox<\/a>\u00a0announced similar capabilities over the last year, but he believes his company has some differentiating features on its platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly would be hard pressed to tell you this is different than what Box or Dropbox is doing, but when you look at the overall context of what we\u2019re doing\u2026I think our advanced governance features are a game changer,\u201d Jain told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

What that means is that G Suite customers can open a document and get the same editing experience as they would get were they inside Google Drive, while getting all the compliance capabilities built into Egnyte via Egnyte Protect<\/a>. What\u2019s more, they can store the files wherever they like, whether that\u2019s in Egnyte itself, an on-premises file store or any cloud storage option that Egnyte supports, for that matter.<\/p>\n

Long before it was commonplace, Egnyte tried to differentiate itself from a crowded market by being a hybrid play where files can live on-premises or in the cloud. It\u2019s a common way of looking at cloud strategy now, but it wasn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n

Jain has always emphasized a disciplined approach to growing the company, and it has grown to 15,000 customers and 600 employees over 11 years in business. He won\u2019t share exact revenue, but says the company is generating \u201cmulti-millions in revenue\u201d each month.<\/p>\n

He has been talking about an IPO for some time<\/a>, and that remains a goal for the company. In a recent letter to employees that Egnyte shared with TechCrunch, Jain put it this way. \u201cOur leadership team, including our board members, have always looked forward to an IPO as an interim milestone \u2014 and that has not changed. However, we now believe this company has the ability to not only be a unicorn but to be a multi-billion dollar company in the long-term. This is a mindset that we all need to have moving forward,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Egnyte was founded in 2007 and has raised over $137 million, according to Crunchbase data.<\/p>\n
