FileCloud Helper Service

You can use the FileCloud Helper service to perform these important functions on Network folders:

  • Handle NTFS Permission checks for Network Folders configured with NTFS permissions

  • Provide an indexed search of Network Folders

  • Allow content search of documents for Network Folders

If you are running FileCloud on a Windows server, you do not need the Helper Service to perform NTFS permission checks as the Web Server itself can perform access checks.
If you are running FileCloud on a Linux server, you do need the Helper Service to perform NTFS permission checks.
