How it all started

CloudFiler began as an ambitious idea: envisioning an email management system unencumbered by technical limitations. We wondered: how user-friendly and versatile could it be if there were no barriers holding us back?

The earliest structured designs for CloudFiler trace back to late 2016. However, back then, the technology we needed wasn’t yet available. Fast forward to mid-2021, and the last technical hurdles were finally overcome, allowing our vision to materialize.

Today, CloudFiler leverages cutting-edge cloud-based technology and development tools, creating an unparalleled solution. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable.

Alec Milton

Founder and Managing Director

Alec’s second email management tool was Excitech Mail which he designed with Excitech Ltd’s skilled developers. This became a Symetri product when Excitech was acquired by them in 2020 and was later sold to Pentagon and renamed to PentagonMail Assistant.

Alec is ‘Captain Boring’ if you get him on his pet subject – email management.
