Secure Web Viewer for DRM
The Secure Web Viewer (Beta version) is available in FileCloud versions 23.232 and later.
Note: The Secure Web Viewer is not included with some licenses, such as the FileCloud Community Edition license and the FileCloud Essentials license.
Users have the ability to publicly share certain file types (jpg, png, pdf, docx, and pptx) with the protection of digital rights management (DRM) by requiring them to be viewed through FileCloud's Secure Web Viewer. The Secure Web Viewer requires share recipients to enter a password to view the share, and may limit access in other ways, such as only permitting small portions of the file to be viewed at a time.
Only files of 20MB or less can be viewed through the Secure Web Viewer.
