Additionally, the Microsoft Outlook integration allows users to easily add, download, share and manage files in Thru without leaving Outlook.
External User Uploading Files to an Internal User
Thru Dropbox™ allows non-account holders such as customers, partners and vendors to easily and securely upload large files to your company’s Thru file sharing site, without having to sign up for an account. An email notification lets you know when files are received in your Thru Dropbox™ folder.
Internal User Logging in to File Sharing Portal using Single Sign-On (SSO)
Thru supports SAML 2.0, which enables SSO authentication between customers and their identity provider (IdP). Seamless navigation with SSO allows users to move between different applications without re-authenticating.
Secure access options include
- SSO
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Mixed authentication: Some users authenticate with SSO and others authenticate with passwords
Admin User Setting Retention Rules
Thru offers powerful retention policy tools to effectively manage content lifecycle. Tool features include
- Custom expiration rules
- Multi-channel alerts
- Automated content deletion
Automated File Transfer User Experience
User Creating File Transfer Workflows
Within a web-based interface, users create workflows as pathways to transfer files between endpoints.
No coding is required. Users simply need to have organization and endpoint configuration information available to complete the task.

External Partner Self-Managing Flow Endpoint
Roles within Thru’s automated file transfer solution allow users to be assigned detailed permissions, including comprehensive self-service capabilities for partners. Partners are then able to manage the configuration of their own flow endpoints.
