Overview
Acronis Files Connect expands beyond Macs to provide fast, seamless file access to iOS and Android phones and tablets.
The Access mobile clients provide rich file browsing, full-content searching, file previewing and editing, as well as selective synchronization for working offline.
When Mac users try to access Windows file servers and NAS devices, they typically suffer from poor performance, data integrity issues, slow searches, and many other disruptive problems. Acronis Files Connect solves these problems.
At its core, Acronis Files Connect is an AFP server that runs on your Windows server and enables Macs to connect to file shares and NAS via Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) instead of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.

Stop the Mac SMB file sharing nightmare once and for all
Acting as an AFP server, Acronis Files Connect:
- Reducing SMB protocol bugs, performance, and compatibility problems related to locked files and file naming issues, file corruption, permissions problems, non-functional Windows shortcuts, and other issues;
- Provides much faster file share mounting, folder browsing, and file opening.

Spotlight search across all file shares
Normally, when Mac users connect over SMB to Windows or NAS file shares, they are limited to filename-only search that has to slowly crawl files shares, for each search issued. With Acronis Files Connect, Macs can connect to file shares via AFP or SMB and perform filename and content Spotlight searches using our new Mac client application or the default Finder.

System Requirements
Acronis Files Connect runs on virtually all variations of Windows 2003, 2008 and 2012, up to 2012 R2. The only known exception is Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (the Standard edition is supported).
The minimum system requirements are documented in the ReadMe file
Detailed Acronis Files Connect System Recommendations:
- Server type: Physical or virtual
- Operating System: Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2008 R2 recommended. (Also supported: 2008 R1 and 2003 SP2 or later.)
- CPU: At least two processor cores. Four or more cores may be beneficial for heavy load with hundreds or thousands of users.
- RAM: At least 2GB for production recommended.
- Disk Space - Installation: 1GB required for the installer to run.
- Disk Space - Usage: Sufficient disk space for files stored on the server.
- Disk Speed - Faster drives can improve performance, especially with high numbers of concurrent users. 10K, 15K or SSD drives can be beneficial for improving response times.
- NICs: At least one Gigabit Ethernet card. For best performance when using the network reshare feature, it's beneficial to have a second NIC so that Macs can connect to the server using AFP through one card, while the server uses the other card to retrieve/store data on the target file shares.
- To support Active Directory authentication, the server must be bound to the domain. Alternatively, local Windows accounts can be used.
