iDC File Manager allows you to securely store, manage and share files and every other format of digital media, including, documents, images, audio, video, publishing layouts, presentations and PDF files between you and your end users.

Once installed on your existing web server, you can setup in seconds, secure, individual user accounts enabling your authorized users quick and easy access to your documents. Access can be gained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere in the world via an Internet Browser.

Acting as a Digital repository, the Web Based File Manager will allow you to easily organize and categorize all of your company documents by department, customer name, project or workgroup into centrally located folders or sub folders. All uploaded documents can then be quickly located through the familiar folder structures or via the built in search facility.

Imagine how much more productive your company will be when your management teams have access to centralized, up-to-the-minute information or when your sales representatives can share pricing structures, sales proposals or sales information across your regional locations in real time.

Whether you are in the office, or accessing documents from the other side of the world, you'll always have access to the most up-to-date information available.


How does iDC File Manager work?


When iDC File Manager is installed on your server it creates a folder
called "Clients" which acts as the main holding folder for all of the user
accounts (in the form of sub folders) and user files.

Conventionally the File Manager runs in two modes:

Admin and User.

When you access the File Manager in Admin mode you are able to access all
user account folders and files, you have the fully array of user rights
(upload, download, preview, delete, move copy etc...) and you can also
access the Client Manager to add remove or edit user accounts and setup Groups
and Shared folders.

In User mode, users are only able to access the main directory folder that has been allocated to them (excluding Shared Folders). Users are never able to go up a level and access files and folders in other user accounts, only down a level into other sub folders.
However, although the user can be accessing the same folder used in some
cases by more than one user, each users can have individual user rights to
that folder e.g. allow download and preview but disallow upload and delete.
Any function not enabled for a particular user will see the corresponding
function icon removed from the users taskbar.

Have A Question?
Simple, User Friendly Interface

The backbone of the File Manager has always been it's beautifully
designed interface coupled with it's straightforward ergonomic controls.

However, it's not all about good looks. Underneath the skin,
iDC File Manager Version 1.5 is an incredibly powerful system boasting
many new features and improvements. Administration of your files has never been easier!
Securely Share Any Files With Anyone, Anywhere, 24-7

iDC File Manager allows you to setup secure, individual user accounts,

iDC File Manager's built in upload function is split into two modes.

When in the default "Upload" mode you can upload and store

An improvement over earlier versions of iDC File Manager is the
inclusion of an upload progress bar when used on a Linux server
which displays the uploading file size, file transfer progress % and
transfer speed. When used on a windows server the upload window
does not display the upload progress.

When in the "Flash Upload" mode you can now select multiple files,
or the contents of whole folders and upload them onto the File Manager.
The functions supports CTRL + A to select all files or by holding CTRL
to then select multiple files.
Included in the Flash Upload function is an upload progress bar which
is available to users on all server types.

Downloading multiple files and folders is now also possible with the
addition of the "Save to Zip" function which allows you to compress
multiple files to .zip prior to downloading.

every file type, but now it allows you to preview an incredible 91 of the

access and view your documents without the delay in saving each file to
