Protecting and sharing files with external users
When should you protect and share files with external users?
- When you wish to share confidential files with external users who do not have the SDS for C&M client on their computers or mobile devices.
- When you have a version of the SDS for C&M client higher than 3.2 on your computer.
To protect and share files with external users
- Protect the confidential files or folders for one or several external users who do not have the SDS for C&M client:
- Protecting access to a file.
- Protecting access and sharing files
- Managing access to files
- Granting access to several protected files
- As soon as the files are protected, external users will receive an e-mail from Stormshield (noreply@stormshieldcs.eu) stating that you have granted them access to confidential files. This e-mail contains instructions on how to open protected files via SDS for C&M Encryption Portal.
- Make the protected file available to external users, for example by sharing them in a shared space or sending them by e-mail.
They can then log in to SDS for C&M Encryption Portal to read the protected file. For more information, refer to the SDS for C&M Encryption Portal User Guide.
