Right to Access - Search for User Data

You can manage the GDPR provision that allows users to request access to any information that companies possess relating to them.


      • FileCloud allows an organization's data protection officer or an administrator to search for user data across all file content and activity logs.
      • With the latest FileCloud version, administrators can search for content across all users in the system

  4. Click the Manage button.
  5. Select an End-date for the search.
