Overview


This policy allows Admins to control transfer to and from the user’s device, Silo Storage, the web, or external file transfer over HTTPS.  


Silo Storage
Users can store data either temporarily or permanently in Authentic8 Cloud Secure Storage.  This data can either be for personal use or the data store can be set up as a collaboration space where many users can share the same files in a variety of ways.  For more information about storage see Authentic8 Secure Cloud Storage


External File Transfer
The External File Transfer feature gives the Admin the capability to route file transfer traffic over HTTPS. Only use this feature if you are required to inspect HTTP traffic for file transfers to and from the client device.  


Note: Currently, External File Transfer is available only for Windows clients.
