Convenient Data Storage Management with LightUp.Cloud: Feature-Rich Solutions for SMEs

Name: LightUp.Cloud
Brand: LightUp.Cloud
Availability: InStock

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as architects, photographers, journalists, and private healthcare practices, efficient and secure data storage management is essential for streamlined workflows and regulatory compliance. LightUp.Cloud offers a robust, self-hosted platform that simplifies file management with advanced features like file versioning, full-text search, automated conflict resolution, and multi-tenancy. Built with best practices in information security and leveraging the Open Telecom Platform (OTP), LightUp.Cloud ensures convenience, scalability, and data protection for SMEs.

Streamlined Data Management Features

LightUp.Cloud is designed to provide intuitive and efficient data storage management, addressing the diverse needs of SMEs. Its feature-rich platform enhances collaboration, security, and accessibility, making it an ideal solution for professionals managing sensitive or high-value data.

Finding Older Versions of Files

LightUp.Cloud stores previous versions of files daily, ensuring that SMEs can recover earlier iterations effortlessly. Using the intuitive web user interface (UI), users can restore files with a few clicks, safeguarding against accidental changes or data loss. This feature is particularly valuable for architects revising designs or journalists updating reports, ensuring no critical work is lost.

Action Log and Changelog

Transparency is key to effective data management. LightUp.Cloud maintains a comprehensive action log, recording every upload, copy, move, rename, or delete operation. This detailed changelog provides a clear audit trail, enabling SMEs to track changes, resolve disputes, and meet compliance requirements for industries like healthcare and finance.

Full-Text File Search

Locating files is seamless with LightUp.Cloud’s full-text search, powered by Solr. Users can search by file names or content, provided the file type is supported, enabling rapid access to documents, images, or reports. This feature enhances productivity for photographers searching through portfolios or healthcare professionals retrieving patient records.

Admin Interface and Multi-Tenancy

LightUp.Cloud’s admin interface simplifies storage management through multi-tenancy. Administrators can create tenants (or “projects”) and define user groups as plain text, which become shared directories. Access to files is restricted by editing tenant groups, maintaining simplicity and ease of maintenance. This structure ensures secure, isolated data management for teams or clients, ideal for studios or healthcare practices handling sensitive projects.

Automated Conflict Resolution

LightUp.Cloud employs Dotted Version Vector Sets for intelligent file versioning and automated conflict resolution. When a client uploads an edited file that conflicts with a newer server version, the system renames the file (e.g., “filename (User Name, conflicted copy datetime).ext”), preventing data loss and simplifying conflict management. This feature ensures smooth collaboration across distributed teams.

LAN Synchronization

For teams on the same local network, LightUp.Cloud’s LAN synchronization dramatically accelerates file exchanges using an auto-discovery protocol. Files are shared locally, with the server verifying consistency, achieving transfer speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. This feature is perfect for photographers or architects sharing large files within an office, enhancing efficiency.

File Locking

To prevent unauthorized edits, LightUp.Cloud allows users to lock files during editing, ensuring only the locking user can make changes. Locked files can be unlocked from any device, providing flexibility for mobile or remote workflows, crucial for journalists or designers working on time-sensitive projects.

Restoring Deleted Files and Folders

LightUp.Cloud enhances data recovery by hiding rather than deleting files and folders, allowing restoration within 365 days via the web UI. This feature protects against accidental deletions, offering peace of mind for SMEs managing critical data.

Windows 10 Client Features

The Windows 10 client enhances usability with features like customizable synchronization directories, multilingual interface, file locking/unlocking, and automated conflict resolution. Requiring an NTFS file system and .NET Framework 4.7.1, the client ensures seamless integration into existing workflows.

Thumbnails and Watermarks

LightUp.Cloud generates thumbnails on demand for quick previews, ideal for photographers and designers. By uploading a watermark.png to a bucket’s root directory, users can automatically apply watermarks to thumbnails, protecting intellectual property while maintaining efficient workflows.

File and Directory Sharing

Secure file and directory sharing is facilitated with API key-signed requests, enabling collaboration and direct sales of digital content like stock photos or blueprints. This feature empowers SMEs to monetize assets while maintaining control over data access.

Cross-Platform Accessibility

LightUp.Cloud supports seamless file management across Windows, Android, and iOS devices via its web UI and dedicated apps. Administrators can manage files, users, groups, and tenants from anywhere, ensuring flexibility for on-site or remote work.

API Integration

LightUp.Cloud’s API allows SMEs to embed file sharing into custom applications, supporting private portals, automated backups, or integration with existing tools. This interoperability enhances workflow customization for fintech, healthcare, or creative industries.
