CentreStack transforms traditional file servers into cloud file servers

When adding users from an Active Directory (AD) connection, you can take advantage of the Home Folder setting in a user's AD Profile settings.  First you must connect your Tenant to their AD. To take advantage of this Home Folder setting, do not add the user to the Tenant before setting up the AD side . Also make sure the Group Policy settings are adjusted before adding as well. Click "Edit" and enter your Domain Controller or LDAP Server Address (myhost:389). Enter your AD admin credentials. "APPLY" these settings. Now make sure you have content for this user in a local network location so it can be connected to that user's AD properties. Now make sure your AD properties for this user are setup to take advantage of the Home Directory option. In the user's properties choose the Profile tab. Notice that I have the Profile tab active, and in the Home Folder settings for this user, I've entered a network location of their cont...

Giving a Guest User Edit Control of Your File(s) When you need an outside user (guest) to edit a file for you, it's easy to provide access to that file. However, sharing a file by itself does not give you the expected result. Share Options - Edit/Full-Control Access When you share a file, the guest user can view the file, and depending on your share settings, they can download for editing as well. Don't Do This - Share a Folder Instead But when they attempt to drag-and-drop the file back into the tenant "File Browser", they won't have access. In order for them to have the ability to update a file and automatically update it when they close the editor, the file must be contained within a folder that you have shared. This gives them the appropriate level of access necessary to make updates. Follow these steps to share a file for editing with a guest user: Create a folder Put the file(s) you want to share into that folder Share the folder with...

Single Sign-On is available using SAML authentication. There are two parties involved in this function. One is the IdP (the identity provider) The other is SP (service provider) A user will be registered with the identity provider and use the service from service provider. The setup described here will allow the service provider (the Cluster Server) to get access to credentials from the identity provider. In the following example, we use a public IdP (i.e., AzureAD), and the SP will be the Cluster Server. This can also be accomplished with a different IdP provider. In a multi-tenant Cluster Server deployment each tenant may want to have its own SSO service. Therefore, the Single Sign On is a per-tenant setting. Step 1: Register the Cluster Server at IdP Login as the Tenant Admin and navigate to Group Policy > Account & Login > Single Sign On. IdP will need to register the Cluster Server as a service provider (SP) by importing the SP’s meta data. You will find the...

Your users can share anything with outside users, unless certain limits are in place through Group Policy settings. The video below shows you how to get access to your shares so they can be modified. It also covers how you can eliminate shares that you no longer want to be available. It also demonstrates how users can access their shares one-by-one or all at once. If a user wants to modify a share, they should set their view to "List" mode and then click the "Share" icon from the icon list on the item row...  ...or by right-clicking the item and choosing the "Share" icon from the pop-up context menu. After clicking the "Share" icon they can begin the modification process by clicking the "Shared with people" icon at the bottom-left of the window.
