- Files encrypted in transit, and at rest
- Malware files are blocked from being uploaded

Branding
The following items can be branded by your organization's settings:

Pangea Vault encryption adds an additional encryption layer above the cloud storage provider-based encryption, creating an even more secure storage solution.
Secure Share also simplifies storage by implementing drag and drop uploading, folder-based organization, simple file browsing, and searchability.
Embedding Secure Share into existing applications is also available through the Secure Share APIs to provide file integration, document exchange, and file management: all from inside your application.
