Manages all network-stored files

Not just files associated with user and group storage.

These operations are ideal for archiving or deleting orphaned files and removing temporary files.

Controls data access

Let user roles determine file and storage access. You establish the rules, Micro Focus File Dynamics enforces them. Set policies that control folders and dictate users' access rights. Let File Dynamics implement the policies' settings so that only authorized users can access potentially sensitive data.

Enables file management in identity management systems

Extend your identity management system. Because Micro Focus File Dynamics uses the same directory as your identity management system (Microsoft Active Directory), File Dynamics can take user storage action when your identity management system takes user account action.
