* Search for files, file content, and comments either globally or in a specific folder. * Share files with users both inside and outside the organization. The Filr mobile app enables users to: * Access files on corporate file servers (home directory and shared folders). Filr makes it easy to share across organizational boundaries and collaborate on files, it makes finding the right files simple with smart search capabilities, and it keeps files secure through strong and integrated access controls. With Filr, you have access to all your files in one convenient location. His e-mail address is more by Lucas Mearian on Filr is a file access and sharing solution for the enterprise.

Novell's Filr is sold on a subscription basis for $45 per user per year.
NOVELL FILR LICENSE
NTP's Universal File Access requires a company to buy a core technology license for $15,000 and then pay $99 per year per user or $10 per month.
NOVELL FILR SOFTWARE
It also offers a BYOD Suite, which is client software appropriate for all common devices and operating systems.īYOD Manager also provides end users with the ability to immediately upload and delete file data, and allows for lost or stolen devices to be shut down and wiped of business-critical information It provides flexible caching options, proxies Active Directory security and aggregates communications. UFA also includes a BYOD Manager - one or more services that offers connections to end-user devices. The file sharing app will not allow executable files to be stored on the backend systems, which precludes viral infections and no apps can be copied out of the data stores, which protects licensing agreements, Backa said. The Universal File Access works by using extensions in the OS and file systems of Windows, and storage software from NetApp, EMC and Hitachi Data Systems. "In the course of building that suite of apps over the past 15 years with EMC, Hitachi and NetApp, we've become deeply embedded in their file and storage systems." "Traditionally, we've control data on corporate networks, providing content filtering, trending analysis, billing and audit tools," he continued. "The Dropboxes and SugarSyncs of the world are all about what industry calls sync and share." "It's an important distinction we're trying to make," Backa said. Sync and share "promiscuously" copies file data anywhere and everywhere making security and risk management even more difficult - if not impossible, he said. Most importantly, Backa said, Universal File Access is not a synchronization and sharing application that automatically pushes data out whenever an employee is connected.
Mobile users are connected to their data storage networks in the same way a desktop would be, so they'll be using the same, familiar interface, according to Backa. "All the user has to do is get all the VMs running in the hosting environment and tell the VM which shares to make available across the cloud."
NOVELL FILR WINDOWS
"Those VMs communicate with our suites of applications developed for Android, Windows and iOS," said NTP CEO Bruce Backa. NTP's Cloud Connector offers one or more services that maintain a connection between internal storage hosts and its Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Manager.
NTP's Universal File Access is a SaaS offering that maintains a connection with an on-premis Windows virtual machine (VM) and integrates with common storage hosts, in a private cloud or even object stores to offer access to corporate data behind the firewall. The application also allows employee collaboration on a file with the ability for multiple users to add commentary and work on a single document simultaneously while keeping the document secure. If a user makes changes to a file offline, those changes will be synchronized when they're back online. That can be enforced by using an mobile device management (MDM) tool such as ZENworks Mobile Management.įilr also offers global search capabilities across an organization, also based on a user's access rights. On the mobile devices, Novell relies on the built-in device encryption. Filr uses wireline encryption through secure socket layer, the same type of authentication that banks use for online transaction processing.
