1 Introduction The Mikron Sharing Center is a tool that allows you to facilitate collaboration between internal and external users with customers and suppliers. It allows the exchange of large files like a traditional FTP site. This tool, based on the Web, adds numerous features including versioning, adding comments, the establishment of temporary connections, as well as a complete management of access rights, etc... This document describes the basic functions of the service.

First of all, it is important to note that this is a tool to exchange data, and not an instrument of permanent storage. Concretely, the saved data will be deleted automatically (without notice) after a certain period of inactivity, depending on the type of folder. (Information also available in the Properties of the folder itself). Example:

storage time space available Folder Projects 360 days 2 Gb Folder Supplier 180 days 2 Gb Folder Personal 30 days Unlimited Folder Departments 180 days Unlimited

It's important to remember that does not run any backup of the data. Therefore, please carry out yourself a backup, if necessary.
