WebAides: Documents
Online Collaboration

Users can use customizable Documents Widgets to display and interact with simplified views of their Documents file storage WebAides on their Workspaces.

Store arbitrary HTML-formatted notes about your files using the "Notes" field. A visual editor for entering and editing the comments is included.

You can provide HTML-formatted annotations and comments along with each file. Each file can have any number of comments created by any number of permitted users. These comments can themselves also contain file attachments and be encrypted, if you have a Premium license.

Upload and download many files at once from/to your computer using a file manager or drag and drop. You can even encrypt/decrypt the files as they are bulk uploaded/downloaded. With these bulk file management tools, it is quick and easy to deal with large numbers of files.

Optionally enable WebAide Auditing. This will record add adds and edits of entries, adds, edits, and deletions of comments, and downloads of attachments. Anyone with read access to the WebAide can then view the audit trail for each entry. Note that the audit trail does not record the actual content of the changes, just who made what kind of change and when.

Export some or all of your Documents entries into XML, CSV, or RSS files. Export the file attachments for these entries as a ZIP file. (Note that encrypted file content cannot be exported in this way, though it can be exported using the bulk download feature.)

Users can publish any WebAide Document as a "Public RSS v2.0 File". This allows anyone or any program that has Internet access to download a list of some or all files in the Documents WebAide using this special URL (the files themselves are not included, but links to them are). This "public" access to your data is optional and off by default. If enabled, it can be password-protected, accessed over SSL, and access-restricted by IP.

You can choose to encrypt files and the notes and comments on them. Users can create their own personal PGP security certificates using our security tools and then they can easily create encrypted entries. Supports the specification of exactly who will be allowed to decrypt the files on a per-file basis, and verification of digital signatures on all encrypted content. Entries encrypted via PGP are very secure. Even the technical staff cannot access their content without access to your PGP key password (which is never saved in plain text on our servers).
