OCR support

Now, Enterprise users and users with an OCR license can search for text in most image file types and PDFs. OCR can also be used with content classification.

When OCR is enabled:

FileCloud's content search looks for matching strings in image and PDF files and returns those files as search results.
FileCloud's content classification engine (CCE) scans image files and PDFs for pattern-matching text so that they can be tagged with metadata for data leak protection along with files that contain text content.

See Enabling Solr OCR.

Metadata color tagging

In the user portal, users can now apply a color metadata tag to a file or folder from the file's context sensitive menu.

I

Users can then search for files or folders by color.

Admins can add additional color tags to the default colors provided (red, yellow, green, aqua, blue and purple).

See Color Tag Metadata.

TLS 1.3 Support

The TLS 1.3 protocol, which is more efficient and provides greater security than TLS 1.2, is now available for all FileCloud clients.

ICAP DLP

ICAP DLP s is now supported in FileCloud and can be configured as a third-party provider for FileCloud's content classification engine.

Using ICAP DLP, admins can set up a content classification rule that flags files, thereby enabling DLP to prevent downloading or sharing of those files.
