Secure File Sharing for Saudi Government — NCA-Compliant Alternative to Dropbox & OneDrive
CodeShare by CodeDev is a Saudi enterprise file sharing and collaboration platform purpose-built for government entities and enterprises. All your files are stored and encrypted on servers inside Saudi Arabia only — they never leave the country. CodeShare provides full data residency inside Saudi Arabia or complete on-premises deployment, native Arabic RTL interface, AES-256 encryption, SSO via Azure AD, real-time Office document co-editing, and advanced external sharing controls — all compliant with NCA Essential and Cloud Cybersecurity Controls.
Why Dropbox and OneDrive Are Not Enough for Saudi Entities
Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive store data on US-based servers. This means your government entity's documents leave the Kingdom — violating NCA data residency controls. CodeShare keeps all your files inside Saudi Arabia, with the same cloud storage, sharing, and co-editing experience that international tools provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best alternative to Dropbox for Saudi government?
CodeShare by CodeDev is the leading Saudi alternative to Dropbox Business for government entities. It provides Saudi data residency (hosted in the Kingdom or on-premises), NCA compliance, native Arabic RTL interface, enterprise SSO via Azure AD, and real-time Office co-editing — none of which Dropbox can offer for Saudi organizations.
Is Dropbox compliant with NCA requirements?
No. Dropbox stores data on US-based servers and does not meet Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) data residency requirements. Government entities subject to NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls must use platforms that keep data inside Saudi Arabia — like CodeShare by CodeDev.
Can CodeShare replace Microsoft OneDrive?
Yes. CodeShare provides the same core capabilities as OneDrive (file storage, sync, sharing, Office co-editing) with the addition of Saudi data residency, on-premises deployment, native Arabic interface, and NCA compliance. For Saudi organizations that cannot use US-hosted cloud storage, CodeShare is the direct replacement.
Does CodeShare support real-time Office document editing?
Yes. Multiple users can simultaneously edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents directly in the browser with real-time presence and conflict-free merging — the same experience as Google Docs or Microsoft 365, but on a Saudi-hosted platform.
How does CodeShare handle external file sharing securely?
External shares are protected with password protection, expiry dates, download limits, watermarks (in combination with Rassed), and instant revocation. All external access is logged and auditable for compliance reporting.
