Introduction to netfiles
netfiles provides companies with secure data exchange and central, secure online document management with detailed access rights and mobile access options. With the cloud solution, data can be easily exchanged within the company or with customers and suppliers and secure data rooms can be set up for due diligence checks and meeting management (board communication). Depending on your administrator and access rights, which you can recognize by the different folder icons, we recommend various help articles for getting started with netfiles. Please note that not every function is available in all netfiles products. You can see the function overview of netfiles Standard and Professional here.
Help articles for users with “View only” access rights “Download protected PDF” and “Download”
For content in the “View only” folder, you only have the right to view files or their content in netfiles. For folders with the “Download protected PDF” and “Download” access rights, you can also download content.
Get to know the most important functions for content in these folders here:
Help article for users with all rights

In addition, you can send content from this folder to third parties outside netfiles using the “External file transfer” function, provided this functionality has been enabled by your netfiles administrator.
