It is not necessary for recipients to be FilesAnywhere members in order to download your e-Link files. They simply click on the e-Link displayed within the body of the email message to start the download. FilesAnywhere was designed from the ground up to be a secure file storage system. Data security was our first consideration in designing the final architecture for the FilesAnywhere system. File security is implemented on our server through a combination of password protection, data encyrption, Internet firewalls, hacker detection and hacker risk avoidance.
Users select their own personal password to accompany their username.
Passwords are hidden during entry to prevent passers-by from seeing your own personal password, and you can change your password anytime. All files are saved onto the FilesAnywhere servers using an encrypted password that only the internal FilesAnywhere server process can decrypt. Internet firewalls prevent intruders from having direct access to the file area of the FilesAnywhere servers. Files are stored separately in private data drives that only the FilesAnywhere internal services have direct access to. No person, entity, or process can directly access user files from outside of our data center, unlike FTP access that gives hackers an opportunity to directly access file directories.
