File Operations using the Open Storage Application

Overview

The Open Store Application is used by Vaultastic Admins to browse through the store, upload & download data. 

Admins can search through the open store using file attributes such as file name, creation date etc.

The application integrates with LegacyFlo to allow admins to quickly upload data from popular sources such as mailboxes and drives. This interface is suitable to upload small volumes of data from the sources listed. However for large volumes of data or to upload from other sources, there are alternate upload methods available as explained here.

Similarly, the application can also be used to download or move small volumes of data. However there are different options to move out data as mentioned here
