Configuring Cloud Drive Policy

Cloud Drive policy determines the type of data that can be synchronized through CTERA Agents, CTERA Edge Filers and CTERA Mobile apps, or uploaded to the portal.

To set Cloud Drive policy, you create Allow and Deny rules based on the following attributes:

• File Name
• File Size
• File Type

Each rule can be applied to everyone or to a specific user or group, whether they are users and groups from an integrated directory service or local users and groups defined in the portal.

You can also apply Cloud Drive policies to external users who were invited to collaborate by email address or by means of a public link, by using a special group called External Users.
