Configuring Stormshield Data Share

Stormshield Data Share allows users to automatically encrypt files saved in shared spaces synchronized with online hosting services DropBox, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint and Oodrive. This feature depends on Stormshield Data File and cannot run without it.

For more information, refer to the section Automatically protecting folders in the SDS Enterprise Advanced user guide.

To enable automatic protection:

  1. In Policies > Features > Share, select the type(s) of synchronized spaces for which you would like to enable automatic protection.

  2. In the Advanced menu, choose whether to protect all shared space content or a selection of folders. For the second option, select Protect only the folders below and add the name or relative path of one or several folders (e.g., Data\Project to protect only the sub-folder Project).

  3. The user can also create automatic protection rules for folders from their workstation. In this case, by default, they can choose whether or not to share the rule with other users who have access to the folder concerned. In the Manage Shared Protection Rules section, you can force rule sharing, disallow it, or leave the default behavior. On the user’s workstation, the Share protection rule box will then be grayed out in the first two cases (checked or unchecked depending on the option selected) in the peer selection window, when the protection rule is created. For more information on creating and sharing protection rules, see the Advanced User Guide, section Automatically protecting folders in synchronized shared spaces.

Stormshield Data Team does not secure collaborative workspace folders. The Team feature should thus be configured such that its menus are not displayed when a synchronized folder is right-clicked.

To exclude synchronized folders from the Team perimeter:

  • Configure the excludedFolders parameter in the security policy's .json file. For more information, refer to the section Stormshield Data Team in the Advanced configuration guide.
