FileCloud’s Secure Document Viewer
The Secure Document viewer is a heavier-duty DRM option compared to the Secure Web Viewer. For sectors such as government, defense, healthcare, or finance that have highly-sensitive documents that still need to be shared, the Secure Document Viewer is the way to go.
With the Secure Document Viewer, senders are able to relay documents with controls and protections like screenshot/screenshare protection, no ability to print, and access limits. Even after files are sent, users can still change protections, adding or removing as needed, which helps extend both security and collaboration.
To protect files at the highest level, there is a multi-step process: both sender and recipients must first download the Secure Documents viewer. Once the viewer has been downloaded, the sender shares the document and the access key with the recipient. Without the key, the recipient is not able to access the file.

What Level of DRM Protection Do I Need?
Depending on your business and the files you work with, you might need different levels of DRM protection. FileCloud offers comprehensive DRM tools that can be used easily, with two different methods to protect your files.
FileCloud’s Secure Web Viewer
Many industries need to protect files at some level. Maybe you work in manufacturing or design and need to share a blueprint but don’t want just anyone to be able to see this intellectual property? That’s where FileCloud’s Secure Web Viewer comes in.
The Secure Web Viewer is built into FileCloud’s familiar sharing UI so you can collaborate with DRM-protection straight from your browser without the need to download any a viewing client. The viewer is a fast and light-weight option that will allow you to share a file without actually giving the physical file away. The recipient will be able to see the file with screen limitations (only a small part of the file is visible at a time). They also won’t be able to edit or change the file to prevent either accidental or malicious alterations.
This limited visibility can be helpful in many scenarios, especially in shared or open offices where screens are exposed. It’s a tool that reduces information exposure while still allowing users to collaborate on files effectively.
