Access Controls

Create and manage user logins to provide access to your site. By default users are jailed to their home folders with no visibility outside. However you can setup shared folders for project teams, selectively granting rights such as upload, download, delete, overwrite, and more …
In addition to dedicated private logins you can enable Public access folders to make files available for general download – for example brochures, PDFs, price lists, policy documents, tender documents, specifications, manuals or brand guidelines.
There are many more controls, for example disable non-encrypted access methods per user or site wide, set storage quotas per user, grant a user sub admin rights and more…

Branding
