Greater Data Leakage Prevention Options
SOTI hub increases your control over enterprise content and potential data leakage by adding an integrated viewer.

SOTI Apps Server Extension
The SOTI Apps Server Extension is a complementary component for SOTI hub that adds additional functionality.

It also supports the automatic resumption of paused downloads after a network connection is interrupted. The SOTI Apps Server Extension is only available on WebDAV servers.
Download the SOTI Apps Server Extension from the SOTI download page. Refer to SOTI hub documentation for installation instructions.
