Overview

Filesight is a web based software product by Inmagik SRL that enables controlled distribution of files on the web, through a sharing system similar to a file explorer available on desktop systems.
The software allows you to share files and folders with external users either continuously (by creating users on the system) or by sharing links with a predefined validity period.

Anyone who has access to the files can download them to their device and, for some file types, view the content directly.

File uploads and Sharing options

Administrative users can easily create folders and upload files to Filesight with a simple web based interface,

The software allows you to share folders containing files in two ways:

  • By creating users accounts in Filesight portal (via an email invitation), to whom you can assign folder viewing permissions. These users must register on the site through a simple link sent by the system and choose an access password; they will then be able to access the system and view or download the files they are authorized to access.
  • By using a time-limited sharing link, which can be manually sent by email to the intended recipients. This method does not require user registration or access to the site.

File Previews

Filesight allows you to view the content of more than 60 file types directly in the browser, without needing to download the files and without using specific software. Supported preview formats include PDF documents, Word, Excel, OpenOffice, PowerPoint presentations, text files, CSV, CAD in DXF format, geographic data in GeoJSON format, 3D models in various formats, images in various formats, and audio and video in various formats.

Account types and permissions model

Filesight has two kind of user accounts:

  • Administrators: users that manage files, permissions and accounts
  • Viewers: users that are only allowed to browse files.

In addition for administrative users is possible to define specific permissions about:

  • Files upload and management
  • Folders management
  • Accounts management
  • Permissions management
  • Advanced settings, such as email and storage configuration
