HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading developer of cross-platform file, print, image, proofing, remote collaboration, and PDF server software, announced major new features to its server-based HELIOS WebShare UB2 remote access, managed file transfer, and collaboration software. WebShare UB2 makes it simple to add secure remote file access to any file server.

INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH FILE MANAGEMENT

HELIOS WebShare UB2 facilitates enterprise-wide document collaboration, enabling easy yet secure remote access to server files via any web browser, from Mac, Windows, Linux, or mobile devices.

The new Gallery view presents scalable previews of images, and multi-page PDFs and Microsoft Office files within the web browser. Even Japanese, Chinese, and Cyrillic documents can be previewed without the need to have specific character sets installed on a local computer.

Also new to WebShare UB2 is the Apple Spotlight compatible search system, allowing users to quickly find server files by file name, text content, and meta data.

TAKES THE WORK OUT OF REMOTE COLLABORATION

The WebShare Manager component enables automatic two-way remote synchronization of files, with customizable synchronization plans. Mac, Windows, and UNIX/Linux users can easily drag & drop project files from the web browser or local workstation into the WebShare Manager window to enable synchronization of files between the remote WebShare server and the local workstation. Even automatic file versioning can be enabled.

WebShare Manager lets teams quickly find and use files scattered in various locations on a file server without the need to move or collect those files into a single folder. This project oriented approach speeds the remote collaboration process, reducing the work required to a few mouse clicks.

WebShare Manager also offers a Resume Transfer capability that supports resumption of interrupted uploads, to ensure high file synchronization reliability even for low quality Internet connections.

ENTERPRISE ENABLED

HELIOS WebShare UB2 offers support for per-user customizable brandings and Java Script for user-related actions. Additionally, WebShare supports files larger than 4 GB, SSL file transfer security, and on-the-fly compression. Also, users can open files from the server locally with just one mouse-click. And with WebShare Manager, remote backups of remote offices and laptops can be easily integrated into server backup solutions.

WebShare transparently integrates into all major server operating systems, including Windows Server, Mac OS X, Oracle Solaris, IBM AIX, and Linux. Detailed information about HELIOS WebShare UB2 can be found on the HELIOS web site http://www.helios.de.
