Web File Manager resides in a web browser and communicates with backend servers using HTTPS protocol. The communication channel does not depend on or require the cumbersome setup of a VPN.
You can upload, download, edit and manage files and folders using a web browser. The software does not need to be installed on a remote computer first, as long as it has a web browser.
With native file server integration, the file server's network shares and drive mapping contents are displayed in a web browser in the same way as on a mapped drive - no additional training is required.
Gladinet provides your organization with secure access to file shares without a VPN by adding secure web channels to your Windows file servers. Editing and sharing files remotely through a web browser becomes easy and secure. Your data stays on the same file servers, and the file servers are made accessible through a web browser.
The Gladinet solution makes file sharing interoperable with existing file server network shares. It has integration with Active Directory, cloud drive mapping, global file locking and NTFS permission control. These native integrations make the file sharing solution an extension of the current file server rather than another data silo that takes away data.
A mapped drive over the HTTPS channel to the organization's file server is an important feature. Employees are familiar with a mapped drive, and no additional training is required.
Enterprise users already have enterprise identities in Active Directory and the associated Active Directory federated service and SAML single sign-on. They do not need additional credentials to access a file sharing solution.
Most file sharing solutions provide manual file locking in the form of "check in" and "check out". Gladinet provides automatic file locking by detecting requests to open files. When Microsoft Word opens a file, file locking is automatically initiated and automatically terminated when file processing is complete.
Integration with Active Directory and NTFS permissions makes it much easier for system administrators to set up permission controls. The permissions features set the Gladinet solution apart from the competition.
Gladinet adds cloud capabilities to your file servers by adding web technologies to your file servers. This gives your file server a web interface, and you can now access files and folders through a web browser and mobile apps.
VPN is cumbersome for end users to use and incurs support costs. VPN support costs decrease dramatically when you use web technologies such as Web File Manager and redirect communications from VPN to web channels such as the HTTPS protocol.
Gladinet provides Compliance Center capabilities to help organizations meet their security requirements and compliance standards such as FIPS, FINRA, HIPAA and the EU Data Protection Directive GDPR.
