Using SOTI Hub

SOTI Hub is a secure repository that allows organizations to control how employees access and share enterprise content outside of the corporate network. Once you install the SOTI Hub app on your devices, your device users can access content from a content repository specified in the SOTI Hub profile configuration, which applies settings to the app.

You can link SOTI Hub to cloud and on-premises content repositories, though functionality differs slightly depending on your repository choice. See About SOTI Hub Content Repositories for details.

SOTI Hub is compatible with devices running Android 4.1 or later and Apple devices running iOS 9 or later.

Features

SOTI Hub has the following capabilities:

  • LDAP Authentication: Use LDAP to authenticate device user access to the SOTI Hub app.

  • Data Leakage Protection: Control how your device users interact with the files in your content repository, therefore limiting the potential exposure of your company data.

    See Using Data Leakage Protection for more information.

  • Mandatory Folders and Files: Designate folders and files in your content repository as "mandatory". These folders and files will be downloaded to the SOTI Hub app and device users cannot remove these files or folders from the app. Changes to files are automatically reflected when the SOTI Hub app next connects to the content repository.

    See Using Mandatory Files for more information.

  • Download Resumption: Resume interrupted downloads from the point of disconnect when the network comes back online. Download resumption is supported on WebDAV repositories with the SOTI apps Server extension and OneDrive and OneDrive for Business repositories.

    Download resumption is triggered only when the download was interrupted by a network connectivity problem. If the SOTI Hub app closes or the device user logs out of the app, all in-progress downloads are cancelled.

  • Search on Server: Allow device users to search all the content available on the repository from their device. Search results are returned as they are found rather than when the full search is complete to provide faster results.

    Note: The SOTI apps Server extension (for WebDAV only) is required for this feature.

  • Offline Functionality: Continue using the app even when devices have no network connection or the content repository is offline. Disconnected device users are still able to view any downloaded or cached files and folders. Depending on your SOTI app configuration settings, device users can log into the app if their password matches the cached value of the field.
