The following file storage areas are available.

NETSTORAGE - NetStorage provides the solution for simple, Internet-based access to file storage. NetStorage is a bridge between MCG's protected storage network and the Internet. It allows users secure file access from any Internet location - with nothing to download or install on the user's workstation. [More]
