Grant Granular User Access with Custom File Permissions

SmartFile's permissions, access, and groups give you flexible and intricate ways to control file and folder access. Some administrators need sophisticated permissions where others just want simple yet adaptable access rules. SmartFile gives you both.

Jonathan Wood Talks About Secure File Sharing
From an IT perspective, controlled file and user access is great. Other tools made this a chore, but SmartFile made it simpler for me, especially given our differing levels of access. Graphic designers don't need the same access as project managers.

Share Files and Folders Easily with Internal and External Users

When your users can't find the right file version in an unwieldy email chain or when they get throttled by an attachment size limit, productivity is crushed. Mundane and critical tasks like these are made easy with SmartFile.

SmartFile lets your team exchange files inside and outside your organization through their favorite access methods while IT can monitor and manage access. This ends unauthorized file exchange caused by users who are frustrated by clunky tools like FTP clients.

Ken Ferguson talks about secure file sharing
Before we used SmartFile, we did not know when clients logged in or how many times they downloaded footage. The ability to not only see that client history but also be emailed when it happens really helps.

Easy Access for Users

Every user is different. Some love web-based UI's, others want it on their desktop, and some want API access. We give your users the ability to easily access and share files anyway they want and on any web-enabled device.

Ease of Use

We're a global company, and SmartFile helps us transfer files internally across countries. I like the logging, security features and the limited time access capabilities for files. It also ensures that files are traceable and sent securely and it's really easy to see who has access and who does not.
