Key Features

Ad Hoc Secure File Sharing: Thru EFSS offers a secure and user-friendly solution for ad hoc file sharing. According to the vendor, it overcomes the limitations of standard ad hoc tools, such as file size restrictions, lack of file visibility, and data security concerns. Users can securely share files of any size or type through web portals, email add-ins, and CRM connectors.

Share Files in Emails: Users can easily upload files by dragging and dropping them in the web-based portal or Microsoft Outlook side panel. The vendor claims that Thru EFSS seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Office 365 APIs, enabling users to attach and send files and folders directly from Outlook. Additionally, it offers Salesforce integration for distributing file attachments in email forms.

Monitor Ad Hoc File Sharing: Thru EFSS provides enhanced security layers and monitoring capabilities for file transfers through Microsoft and Salesforce integrations. Administrators can manage user access and permissions to ensure data protection. Recipients are required to authenticate before accessing shared files, enhancing security. Users receive notifications on file delivery events, and activities can be recorded in the CRM.

Track All File Transfers: Thru EFSS offers a comprehensive activity stream that records all file and folder sharing activities for reporting and auditing purposes. According to the vendor, this activity stream includes date/time stamps and captures all operations performed on the data, providing visibility and accountability.

Securely Receive Files from Anyone: Thru EFSS enables users to securely receive files from customers, partners, vendors, or anyone by assigning Thru Dropbox™ folders. The vendor suggests that links to Thru Dropbox™ can be added to email signatures, company websites, or any platform supporting hyperlinks. External senders can be required to self-register and authenticate before uploading files to a user's Thru Dropbox™.

Reduce Ad Hoc File Sharing Risks: Thru EFSS includes the Thru Desktop Sync feature, allowing users to sync folders on their computers with directories in Thru. This ensures automatic synchronization of file actions. Versioning capabilities in Thru maintain timelines of all previous file versions, facilitating easy restoration if needed. User permissions can be customized to disallow sync or grant different levels of sync in each folder. Detailed auditing and conflict handling information increase visibility of file transactions for administrators.
