Features and add-ons for secure file sharing.
Premium virus scanner
Protect your company from malware during data transfers with the FTAPI premium virus scanner. All uploaded files are scanned, system-wide restrictions on allowed file types can be enforced, and the integrated MIME type check ensures strict policy compliance.
End-to-end encryption
FTAPI offers end-to-end encryption for business-critical data in file sharing. Encryption takes place directly on the client side (browser) and can only be decrypted by the authorised recipient. This ensures that no one except the sender and recipient has access to the data – not even FTAPI (zero-knowledge principle).
Single sign-on (SSO)
SSO allows users to authenticate via a range of common providers, including ADFS, BundID, and Google Workspace. This reduces administrative effort while enhancing both security and user experience.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Protect user accounts by requiring an additional security code at login. FTAPI supports multiple authentication methods, including smsTAN, TOTP, and email verification.
Audit trail
The audit trail gives you full visibility over all file activities. The activity log makes it easy to track which user made specific changes. Additionally, reports assist with internal audits.
Custom design
Trust is key in data exchange. Strengthen trust among your partners, suppliers, and customers by customising the user interface with your logo and corporate colours.
Support in complying with key laws and regulatory requirements
