Downloading multiple files will automatically choose the sanitized version of those files if available. The administrator option to download the original file is available on individual files only.
Upon download, there is an option to secure the downloaded file(s) by encrypting them into a password-protected ZIP archive. The use of a password can become mandatory if the administrator has set up MetaDefender Managed File Transfer to enforce this requirement.
If an internet connection error occurs during the archive download process, the download will automatically resume once the connection is reestablished.

Edit password
MetaDefender Managed File Transfer supports adding/editing a password (both ascii and non-ascii) to an encrypted file from "My Files" tab
If the correct password is entered and the file is not blocked, it will be available for download to all users with the right permissions.
In case download authentication "Global Settings" is not required, any user has the right to insert passwords.
Delete Password
All passwords can be deleted from an encrypted file, only if the correct one was not added yet
Sharing Files and Folders
It is possible to share a file or a folder with one or multiple users by clicking on the "More actions (...)" button and selecting the "Share" option.
It is also possible to share a file or a folder with a group from active directory. Use the modal menu to select the recipients with whom you want to share files and folders.

In order to add/edit a tag for a file (that you can later search for) please click on the "More actions (...)" button and choose "Edit file tags" for one of the files in the grid.
You can add or edit any existing tags for this file in the edit file tags window.
Each file can have at most 20 tags. A tag cannot exceed 50 characters in length.
