File Sharing and Transfer

Shared folders: Set up shared folders based on project or departmental needs and allow both employees and customers to safely and securely access their files from anywhere.
File and folder access controls: Three levels of built-in security prevent unauthorized access, including initial login, folder access and individual document protections.
Automatic file versioning: No need to change filenames to capture versions. Egnyte automatically versions files as they change. Egnyte never "overwrites" a file, so you get a complete audit trail of who made a change and when they made it.
Automatic notification of file changes: As new files are added or as existing files change, Egnyte automatically notifies each user that has access to those files. Each person can specify a notification frequency indicating how often they would like to be notified.
File locking and checkout: Users can lock files for modifications (file check-out). Once a file is locked (checked out), other users can view the file, but cannot edit or upload changes until the file has been unlocked (file check-in).
Simultaneous sharing with multiple customers and employees: Empower business collaboration with remote teams and customers by establishing different levels of folder-based permission – such as Read or Read/Write – to safely enable multiple parties to work together from one central online location.
Share large files and folders via links: Send large files by distributing a link instead of an attachment. You can control how long the link is active and can be automatically notified when a file has been downloaded. You can even publish your links to make them widely available.
Unlimited public folders: Public folders allow you to share files without requiring visitors to login. Just forward a link to a public folder or a specific file.
Security controls for sharing: Each folder can be configured for access by authorized employees and business partners. And you control what each user is allowed to do with Read/Write/Delete file permissions.
Easily upload files: Easily drag and drop files on your desktop. A browser-based Java uploader will help you to move files online, and for the largest files (500 MBs or more), Egnyte provides easy-to-use, no-maintenance FTP. (Group plan users have a maximum file size of 2.5GB)

Continuous File Backup

Automatic synchronization & backup of files: Egnyte automatically synchronizes between local files and online copies, offering redundancy should local storage or local internet access experience outage.
Instantaneous web access of backed up files: Securely access backed up data via a browser from anywhere on the Web. You can also restore older versions of files, since document histories are automatically maintained in Egnyte.
Easy file and folder restoration: Easily restore files and folders with a single click of a mouse. File versioning ensures you can choose an older version of a file, if needed.

Offline Access: Local Cloud

Automatic synchronization of offline and online files: The optional Egnyte Local Cloud provides full off-line access to files and folders. When Internet connectivity is restored, automatic synchronization reconciles changes between files on the Local Cloud and those on the Egnyte Cloud File Server.
Fast access to large files: Accessing and editing large files over the Local Cloud is much faster than performing the same actions over the Internet, and all changes are synchronized; with versioning intact; once Internet connectivity has been restored.
Personal Local Cloud: Personal Local Cloud can be deployed on your computer hard drive or directly-attached storage drive.
Office Local Cloud (**): Office Local Cloud can be deployed on NETGEAR ReadyNAS network attached storage (NAS) devices. (Intel® based ReadyNAS® devices only. Office Local Cloud will not work on the Duo or NV+ ReadyNAS devices).
Enterprise Local Cloud (***): Enterprise Local Cloud can be deployed on any existing hardware as a VMware®-based Virtual Appliance.

Enterprise Class Security

SSL encryption at all data touch points: Unlike email-based communication which flows unprotected over the Internet, all communications with Egnyte including continuous data backup and browser- and desktop-based requests are secured using 256-bit AES encryption over SSL.
Secure data hosting and data redundancy: Egnyte servers are hosted at SAS 70 Type II compliant collocation facilities that feature 24/7 manned security, biometric access control, video surveillance and physical locks. We further secure your data with redundant independent RAID storage.
SAS 70 Type II, HIPAA and Safe Harbor compliant: The Egnyte security approach is "Risk Model" based. We commit extensive resources to ensure that your data is both HIPAA and Safe Harbor compliant and that our security infrastructure is world-class.

Privacy Controls

File and folder permissions based on access levels: Only company-specific, domain-validated users with active passwords are allowed access to protected files. Three-levels of built-in security prevent unauthorized access, including initial login, folder access and individual document protections.
Centralized administration: The Egnyte Cloud File Server gives you document-level, centralized control over who has access to your business-file assets. You authorize users, manage read/write file access and have granular visibility into all user activity and file interactions.

User Management

Add users anytime: Add as many users as you need and assign administrative and data access rights.
Control user rights and access level: Administrators can create user accounts, modify passwords and also deactivate user accounts as needed. Administrators can also assign and revoke permissions on folders to assert control over what folders a user can access.
LDAP and Active Directory support: Egnyte seamlessly integrates with existing LDAP or Active Directory Service for users/groups and password management.

Custom Branding

Egnyte Cloud File Server can be configured to reflect your brand to your employees, customers and business partners. Administrators can customize the access URL, look and feel of the website, header logos and footers, and templates of messages that are sent out. Egnyte also allows you to set up your own mail servers to send these messages from instead of using Egnyte mail servers.

Customize the look and feel: Upload your company logo and set up color scheme of your choice for your Egnyte web site pages.
Use your domain name: It is easy to provide your users with a familiar URL to access your Cloud File Server. Egnyte allows you to specify a fully qualified domain. For example, you may customize a default access URL such as yourcompany.egnyte.com to say, fileshare.yourcompany.com. The domain name you provide will also be used consistently in shared file links and in emails sent from Egnyte on your behalf. There will be a minimal one-time charge ($50), as this feature requires Egnyte to purchase new IP address to provide you with this optional capability.
Customized messages: Egnyte lets you customize messages that are sent out to your business partners and customers, and provides the means to set up company-specific message templates.
Use your company mail server: Egnyte sends out email notifications to users to inform them about new file additions, status of their backups, etc. By default, these notifications are sent from the Egnyte mail server. You may choose to have these sent out from your own mail server instead. As the administrator of your Egnyte Cloud File Server, you can specify the company mail server settings. Egnyte will then integrate with your mail server to send email messages/alerts from your company mail system.

Search

Quickly search through large amounts of files: Egnyte has powerful search capabilities, allowing you to quickly find and retrieve any file based on a wide-variety of search techniques, such as keywords, find similar files and file name match.
Full indexing of files: The Egnyte Cloud File Server fully indexes all uploaded files for easy search and retrieval via a Web browser or from a mapped drive on your desktop.
Keyword, file name and tag search: Find any of your files based on automatically extracted and indexed full-text content and file names.
