About this guide

File-Vault is the multi-provider storage hub for Velaxe. Connect Google Drive, OneDrive/SharePoint, Dropbox, Box and optional S3/R2 at the workspace level, then let every app upload, attach, preview and share through a unified picker and API.

Admins set link and retention policies, enable DLP and AV scanning, choose provider scopes, and review complete audit trails. Files stay in your selected drives using predictable folder structures while File-Vault keeps metadata, attachment links and permissions synchronized.

Built for reliability and compliance: chunked uploads, resumable sessions, expiring external links, delta sync, audit exports and Prometheus-friendly health metrics.
