Novell iFolder 3.7

Note: Novell® iFolder® 3.7 is now available as part of Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 SP1. Novell iFolder 2.1 is available as a standalone product.

Every tool you use and solution you deploy should contribute to your competitive advantage. That's why so many of today's organizations rely on Novell iFolder 3.6. It is a key component of Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 and provides an easy way to synchronize, back up, share and access your files—anywhere and anytime.

Whether you are working on your office or home PC, a disconnected notebook or even at an Internet kiosk in an airport halfway around the world, your files are instantly available. Novell iFolder backs up your work immediately, so your files are always protected and easily recovered, even if your local data is lost. And later, when you move to a different location and a different PC, your files are automatically updated to reflect work you did elsewhere—with no e-mails to yourself, flash drives to lose or file transfers required.

Update and Share Files Automatically

Updating files is easy with Novell iFolder. You simply save files locally in your iFolder directory. Then, when you make changes to a file, those changes are automatically and intelligently updated to your company's iFolder server and your other computers through your Internet connection. This means that you're always working on the most recent version of any document. You can also share your files with others, and updates will automatically appear on their machines. It's a solution that allows many users to simultaneously work on the same files—without version-control problems—which improves collaboration and productivity across your enterprise.

Protect Sensitive Information

You want top levels of security for all of your data, whether it's in transit, in storage or in use on an employee's workstation. With Novell iFolder, you can choose to give users full rights to files or limit them to read-only access. Novell iFolder also includes stringent file-encryption capabilities. Files are encrypted before they are sent over the wire and when they are stored on the server. And iFolder provides a complete backup solution for your critical data. All of the files in your iFolder directory are also stored on the main iFolder server. So even if your local machine is damaged or lost, you'll be able to recover all of your files within just a few minutes.

Take Advantage of New Features

Now, with iFolder optimized for group access, teams can collaborate better, knowing they are using the latest versions of important documents. Also, users can have multiple iFolders, allowing for better manageability of information and projects. Users can manage access rights and privileges from the iFolder client, eliminating the need for IT to administer these properties. iFolder is now available for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, openSUSE, Windows Vista SP1, and Macintosh 10.4.
