Give select outsiders secure data access through external sharing
External sharing allows you to safely involve contacts outside your organization with select files and folders.
Organizations depend on communication with the outside world, for example with contractors, consultants and prospective customers. They also need to stay in control of who gets to access its data.
ownCloud helps by offering staff a frictionless way to share files and folders of unlimited size, and by giving external contacts a smooth user experience on any device. This minimizes the risks posed by unsanctioned and unsafe means of file sharing.
With ownCloud, staff can invite frequent contacts as Guest Users, who can be granted access to select files and folders, just like regular users, only without their own storage space. Or they can send out sharing links, optionally password-protected and with expiration dates, enforceable by policy.
- Avoid unsafe shadow IT
