Progress MOVEit Transfer Secure Folder Sharing - Subscription License - 1 License

Progress MOVEit Transfer Secure Folder Sharing delivers enterprise-grade, auditable, and highly secure file exchange for organizations that must share sensitive data with partners, vendors, and customers. This subscription license for a single user offers a scalable platform to control access, enforce granular permissions, and monitor every action—helping you protect confidential information while accelerating collaboration across dispersed teams. Built to meet demanding security standards, MOVEit Transfer puts data protection at the center of every file transfer, enabling compliant, efficient, and transparent collaboration.

• Granular, policy-driven folder sharing that empowers you to set precise permissions at the folder or file level. Create secure folders, invite internal and external collaborators, and grant time-limited access or password-protected links to ensure that data reaches only the intended recipients. Each share is tracked with a full audit trail, so you can see who accessed what, when, and under which permissions. This precise control minimizes unnecessary exposure while keeping collaboration fast and frictionless.
• Robust security and compliance built into every transfer. Data travels over encrypted channels (e.g., TLS, SFTP, FTPS) and can be configured for encryption at rest, depending on deployment needs. MOVEit Transfer supports comprehensive logging and event auditing, so administrators can monitor activity, enforce retention policies, and produce compliant reports. With centralized policy management, you can enforce strong authentication, session controls, and external sharing safeguards across the organization.
• Seamless collaboration and automation that streamline workflows without sacrificing security. Automate file routing, approvals, notifications, and expiration policies with a flexible rule engine. External collaborators can access shared folders via a secure web portal or authenticated client, while internal users benefit from a single, unified interface. REST APIs and directory integrations (such as Active Directory/LDAP) enable smooth onboarding, single sign-on, and scalable administration.
• Flexible deployment and licensing that fit your environment. The subscription license model provides predictable budgeting for ongoing updates and support, with a single-seat license that scales as your collaboration needs grow. MOVEit Transfer supports on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployments to meet data residency, latency, and control requirements, while offering centralized management and high availability to support mission-critical operations.
• Administrative efficiency, visibility, and support. The product includes a centralized admin console, real-time dashboards, and detailed reporting that simplifies governance, risk management, and compliance auditing. With built-in incident response guidance, policy enforcement, and access controls, IT teams can quickly detect anomalies, respond to security events, and demonstrate due diligence during audits. The subscription also encompasses ongoing updates and product support to help you stay current with evolving security practices.

How to install Progress MOVEit Transfer Secure Folder Sharing

• Step 1: Plan and prepare your environment. Confirm deployment type (on-premises, cloud, or hybrid), verify system prerequisites, and obtain the subscription license for a single user. Map out folder structures, external collaborator groups, and access policies before installation.
• Step 2: Deploy MOVEit Transfer in your chosen environment. Follow your organization’s standard deployment procedures for your selected platform, ensuring network connectivity, certificate management, and security baselines are properly configured. Prepare for integration with your directory services if you plan to use AD/LDAP or SSO.
• Step 3: Configure Secure Folder Sharing. Create secure folders, define folder-level and file-level permissions, and set default sharing policies. Enable time-limited access and link-protection features for external shares, and establish expiration rules to automatically revoke access when appropriate.
• Step 4: Add users and external collaborators. Import internal users from your directory service and invite external partners with guest access as needed. Assign roles that align with your governance model, enable MFA where available, and link users to appropriate groups to streamline policy enforcement.
• Step 5: Enforce security policies, validate transfers, and monitor for compliance. Test typical workflows, verify audit logs capture all relevant events, configure automated alerts for unusual activity, and run a pilot with a subset of users before full rollout. Plan ongoing training for users and administrators to maximize security and productivity.
