IP whitelisting allows for specific IP addresses within an organization to be restricted, mitigating potential hazards
There is a requirement to simplify access, particularly for managing large amounts of stored data within Files.com. Instead of navigating through firewall rules, etc., users seek the ability to bypass two-factor authentication when logging in via username and password. Missing this toggle could necessitate recreating the account. Additionally, there's a lack of clarity regarding users under this system, making monitoring challenging. However, Files.com does offer SSO, which addresses many of these concerns. The solution should show more in terms of the way we navigate things like FTP or FTPS with a username/password configuration, if not through SSO. It requires the use of an API key, among other things. There are workarounds and ways to address a few of these issues.

Includes encryption and decryption functionalities with advanced workflow engine
The most effective feature is its advanced workflow engine. Another feature is the flexibility of the code we use to create tasks. For example, with other tools, you receive only one notification upon completing or failing the task. However, in Globalscape, you can set up step-by-step email notifications. For instance, if you pick up a file from the source location, you can add a condition to send an email notification to a specific address once that step is successful. Conversely, a different notification can be sent to a designated address if the step fails. This allows us to receive notifications for each process step without waiting for the entire task to complete.
