1.2 Benefits of iFolder
for Users
Working in multiple locations has traditionally meant that
you had to conscientiously manage file versions, secure data transfer,
and periodic data backups for multiple workstations. Novell iFolder
is an easy way to make sure your files are secure, accessible, and
up to date.
With iFolder, you always have convenient and secure access
to the most recent version of your documents. All you need is an
active network or Internet connection and the Novell iFolder client software
or a Web browser.
Novell iFolder provides the following benefits:
- Guards against local data loss by
automatically backing up your local files to the iFolder server and
your multiple workstations.
- Transparently updates your files to the iFolder
server and your multiple workstations with the iFolder client.
- Tracks and logs changes made while you work offline
and synchronizes those changes when you go online.
- Provides access to your files on the iFolder server
from any workstation without the iFolder client, using a Web browser.
- With encryption enabled, protects data as it travels
across the wire and while stored on the iFolder server.
- Makes files on the iFolder server available for
regularly scheduled data backup.
