Sharing files using the Documents and Files component within CollabNet Enterprise
Edition accomplishes the following:
- The files that are marked confidential can be securely transferred to all users
without needing to enable complicated email encryption, or the default, transmitting
them in the clear.
- Documents and files does not depend on email client capacity.
- Instead of everyone keeping a copy of the message with all the files in their email
AND a separate copy of the files in a directory on their computer, the (small) email
message can contain a reference to the original source of the files.
- Users can choose which files to download, so they only need to take the time to
download those they really need instead of waiting for the mail update process to
pause while the server downloads the entire set of files.
- Users can view the files from anywhere where they have access to the internet.
- Visibility of email message is limited to the addressees and the users CCd on the
email. Documents and files serves as the central archive for all users, including
those who joined at a later date.
