5 Ways Copernic Desktop and Cloud Search Enhances Remote Work Efficiency 

Remote work is taking over the corporate world and other sectors alike. No matter what industry you work in, if you work on a computer, it’s likely you and your team  work remotely sometimes. Even if the employees at your company don’t work remotely all the time, your employees will probably have to do some tasks while they’re out of the office, so you need to have computer software that supports remote work. With traditional computer file searches, you cannot work remotely with ease, but when you opt for a program like Copernic, it makes it much easier to work remotely. Explore how our Copernic Desktop and Cloud Search program boosts efficiency for remote work environments below. 

What Challenges Come with Remote Work and Locating Files? 

Let’s discuss some common challenges of working from home, particularly when it comes to finding files. Working remotely can be frustrating, especially when you encounter difficulties and don’t have Copernic to help navigate these issues. 

Challenge #1: You Can’t Work If You Can’t Access Your Files from Home 

Remote work is impossible when you can’t access the files you need. If you have a work laptop and the files you need are only on your work desktop, for example, you won’t be able to be productive while working from home. If you’re using a traditional in-computer search, you won’t be able to find the files you need if you are not saving them to Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive. When it comes down to it, remote work is hard when you can’t find what you need from home. 

Challenge #2: Sometimes You Can’t Find What You’re Looking for 

Even if the files you need are on your work-from-home computer, it’s still hard to find the files you need when you don’t have a software like Copernic. Sometimes traditional file searches aren’t compatible with certain file types or have an antiquated interface, so if you’re working from home, you can’t find what you need—which poses challenges. 

Challenge #3: When Searches Are Slow, Your Workday Is Slowed Down, Too 

Traditional file searches are very slow, and when you don’t have Copernic, you might have to wait around all day for your searches to finish. It’s hard to work from home when you’re waiting for a file search to finish. 

Challenge #4: Being on the Go Makes It Hard to Find Files 

Whether you’re working from a different country or working from a different location down the street, being on the go makes it difficult to find the files you need. Plus, when you’re using a traditional file search and it isn’t very efficient, you’ll run into issues. 

How Does Copernic Make Remote Work Easier? 

You now know about some of the challenges that come with file searching while working from home. However, if you use Copernic, some of these challenges can be alleviated. Let’s go over some of the ways that Copernic makes remote work easier: 

Reason #1: You Can Use Copernic from Anywhere 

Copernic can index files on Dropbox, One Drive and Google Drive so it is possible to use Copernic from wherever you are. It is difficult to get things done when you don’t have access to the files you need, but with Copernic, you’ll always have access to the files fast. 

Reason #2: Copernic Makes Multi-Tasking Easy 

There is nothing more frustrating than having to get on a video call while working remotely and not being able to do so because you have a file search running in the background. If you use Copernic, you’ll be able to multitask with ease, because Copernic doesn’t eat up much RAM on your computer. Whether you have to video call or do something else while remote working, you can multitask while using Copernic. 

Reason #3: Searches Are Efficient with Copernic 

You have a busy workday when you’re working from home, so you don’t have time to wait around for a file search to finish. With Copernic, all your searches will be incredibly efficient because Copernic starts to produce results as you type, has a streamlined interface, and boasts many filters and refinements. Copernic is compatible with 170+ different file types; plus, with Copernic, you can find files easily via our search features.

Reason #4: Your Files Will Remain Private and Secure 

There are a lot of security risks that come when you and your employees are working from home. Whether your employees are working in insecure areas, like a coffee shop, or they’re working from their personal homes, you want to have peace of mind that your files will be safe. With Copernic, your safety is our number one priority, so our on-premise software keeps your index local and our cloud connectivity uses the same login credentials and security as the cloud storage companies your are connecting to.  

Reason #5: Your Whole Team Can Access Files
