The NetExplorer tools for file management
Quick reply
NetSync, Drive, the Outlook connector and the mobile app: what each NetExplorer tool is for and how they fit together day to day.

Managing files matters more than ever, as companies have to keep track of a growing number of them. NetExplorer is a cloud solution that makes file management easier. We help you find files quickly and easily, manage permissions effectively and keep your data secure.
With NetExplorer, you can meet your company's growing data-sharing needs with confidence.
NetSync
The NetExplorer file manager lets users upload, send and manage documents securely within the NetExplorer platform. Files can be stored either in the user's personal workspace or in a shared workspace in the cloud. Users can reach their data from anywhere and share it easily with others.
NetSync is there to synchronise files across different devices. It can be used to synchronise files between your computer and NetExplorer, or between two NetExplorer documents. The point of synchronisation is to make sure both devices hold the same copy of the file. It can be done manually or automatically. When a file is synchronised, the NetExplorer platform takes a snapshot of it and saves it in the user's workspace. The user can then reach the file from any device by signing in to their NetExplorer account.
NetExplorer Drive
The drive feature is one of the most important in cloud computing. It gives you a "personal disk" in the cloud where you can store your files and reach them from anywhere, with the right access permissions.
You can turn a local folder into a shared folder, and the files inside it will be synchronised with NetExplorer's servers. That is useful if you want to keep a local copy of your files as well as having them backed up in the cloud. The drive feature is also used to share files securely with other authorised users.
When you share a file, the recipient receives a link to it. Provided they have the necessary permissions, they can then open the file from their own computer or from any device with an internet connection.
File sharing is a safe way to move files between users. The sender can set permissions for the recipient, so that they can only view or edit the file, or can give them full access to it. To open a NetExplorer document, users must first authenticate. They do so by signing in with their username and password, by means of an encryption key.
Users have two-factor authentication with a unique token. This adds a further layer of security by requiring a second authentication factor, such as a code from a mobile app, on top of the username and password. That way, even if an attacker knows your username and password, they would also need access to your mobile device, for instance, in order to sign in.
The NetExplorer connector for Outlook
The NetExplorer connector for Outlook is a tool that lets users send and receive emails securely through Outlook. The connector uses the same encryption key as the NetExplorer platform, so all data is protected end to end.
The connector can be used to send large attachments with ease.
The NetExplorer mobile app
To sign in to your NetExplorer account from your mobile device, the app is available for iOS and Android. You can use it to reach your files, share them and receive notifications about activity on your account. The app also supports two-factor authentication.
The mobile app makes the most of collaborative working by letting colleagues carry their point of access to NetExplorer wherever they go. Whether you are working from an outdoor site, travelling or on leave, you can still reach your files, follow the changes made while you were away and share your data.
Data shared in the NetExplorer cloud is stored on French soil. NetExplorer owns its cloud infrastructure, located in France, which makes it a sovereign cloud fit to collect and store sensitive data belonging to your clients and your company.
In conclusion
NetExplorer gives users a range of tools to manage and share data securely: the file manager, synchronisation, the drive and the sharing features. With them, users can easily upload, download and share data within their collaborative workspace.
