What Do You Use? - Send/Receive Large Files, Securely
-
My users keep complaining that our Exchange server won't accept messages/attachments over 15MB. I keep explaining that email is not meant to be a file transfer service and no one seems to get it. I know there are tons of services out there to do this sort of thing. I would like it to be "secure" and also is it possible to provide a way for people outside our company that do business with us access to send us large files, on demand?
What are you using?
-
OwnCloud or Pydio

OwnCloud

Thanks. Owncloud is being forked to newcloud. Anyone else?

@wrx7m NextCloud

I don't think it is even out yet.

SFTP, Owncloud.

@aaronstuder Any idea what the difference is between supported providers and other providers for owncloud? Aside from the obvious- but I don't know what supported entails.

Big stick to beat users with, then network storage and VPN as appropriate.

Most likely, but never stated. Agreements with ownCloud.

Maybe SendThisFile would work? I think the main problem with outside services is the lack of control on the data. While SLAs are a great thing, lots of companies are averse to using a 3rd party to handle data transmission, especially if there's sensitive material or HIPAA requirements. Part of being a secure service means controlling where the bits are stored, not just the transmission of said bytes. Unfortunately, @wrx7m, you haven't said anything about the kind of security you need and as a result, OwnCloud is a top choice for cost and control. Otherwise, you could set up a simple Linux VM with sftp and just be done with it in under an hour. Some simple cron jobs would enable the FTP directories to be migrated to an internal CIFS share for users to access easily and subsequently destroy the contents of the incoming/outgoing directory as needed. Of course, user management would come in to play. This is one of the reasons OwnCloud works so well since you can send a link to a file in an email and the customer can download the material, or send it in.

Prezip the contents with password protection and then transport it anyway you want.

As far as security, we are not a public company or one that needs to adhere to hippa etc. That being said, we don't want just anyone accessing the data so I am thinking client side encryption would be the way to go.

That's not secure at all..
