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 and the Shared Drive Directory path 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.
All files in Shared Drive are stored in a proprietary folder structure and are encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption. Hence, 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. You will be unable to upload files when the maximum limit has been reached, but you 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 trash bin of the 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 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.
To minimize the impact on server resources, the
Immediately
 option sends email notifications on a 30 second interval.
