General

The General tab has the following options:

Shared Drive Enabled: The Shared Drive function in Managed File Transfer is a secure on-premise file sharing and synchronization service. When selected, a Shared Drive menu option is available to Web Users from the HTTPS File Transfer Portal menu bar.; When running in a clustered environment, Shared Drive cannot be enabled until you configure the Index Directory path (on the Global Settings Data tab) and the Shared Drive Directory path (below) to use absolute paths. The Shared Drive and Index directories cannot use SMB shares.
Shared Drive Directory: This is the location where the encrypted Shared Drive file system is stored. By default, the location of the Shared Drive directory is relative to the
Managed File Transfer
installation directory. If
Managed File Transfer
is installed in
/informatica/B2B/MFT/server
, then the default location for the documents directory is
/informatica/B2B/MFT/server/userdata/shareddrive
. Click the icon to browse for a different folder on the server.
When
Managed File Transfer
is running in a cluster configuration, the Shared Drive Directory must point to a shared or mapped folder location on the network.

Please note that all files in Shared Drive are stored in a proprietary folder structure and are encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption. Therefore these files cannot be accessed outside of
Managed File Transfer
.
Limit Disk Space: Every file that is uploaded to Shared Drive may contain multiple revisions and thumbnails, which are stored in the Shared Drive Directory. It is recommended to set a maximum limit of disk space that is allocated to Shared Drive to prevent the disk from running out of space. Users will be unable to upload files when the maximum limit has been reached, but will still retain the ability to download and view files from Shared Drive.
Maximum Disk Space: The maximum amount of disk space available for Shared Drive.
Days to Keep Files: Specify the number of days to keep files in the user Trash Bin's in Shared Drive before they are permanently deleted.
Max Stored Revisions: Shared Drive saves a file revision every time a file is uploaded, saved on the desktop sync client, or overwritten. Web Users have the ability to restore previous revisions of files. Specify the number of revisions that can be retrieved from the server by the Web User.
Email From Address: Shared Drive email notifications are sent to the recipient(s) of file and folder shares. The From Address can be set to the address of the Web User who shared the item or as the main
Managed File Transfer
email account set on the SMTP tab of the Global Settings. When using the Sender's Address option, check with your SMTP Administrator to verify the email account defined in Global Settings is able to send emails using different From Addresses.
Email Notifications Allowed: When a Web User shares a file with another Web User, they can request email notifications be sent to them when the other party uploads revisions, downloads, locks, or deletes the file. When an email notification is sent, the From Address specified in the Email From Address field is used.
Notification Frequency: Specify the frequency the server will send Shared Drive email notifications to Web Users.; In order to minimize the impact on server resources, the Immediately option sends email notifications on a 30 second interval.
