You can share files directly within Slack, and  set security controls on how long the file can be shared for, the number of times the file can be accessed, and add password protection to access the file. +
- +
-Users on the following platforms can use the Slack Application: +
-  * Hosted US (storagemadeeasy.com) and EU (eu.storagemadeeasy.com) SaaS customers +
-  * On-Premises Enterprise File Fabric customers +
-  * SME-Hosted Enterprise File Fabric customers +
- +

-===== Using File Fabric Slack Application ===== +
- +
- +
- +
-=== Allowing users to share in Slack === +
-Your user's access to Slack will be controlled through your Organization's File Sharing Policy.  +
- +
-This control allows you to set at the organization level whether your users are allowed to share files in Slack with the File Fabric.  +
- +
-<WRAP center round info 100%> +
-Note: As of the 7th June 2018, this control is only available to customers of SME's EU & US SaaS services. On-Premises / SME-Hosted Enterprise File Fabric customers will have this option in a future update. For On-Premises / SME-Hosted Enterprise File Fabric customers, the Slack integration will be enabled by until you have access to this control. +
-</WRAP> +
- +
-This option will be OFF by default, meaning that customers need to enable this before their users can share files in Slack with the File Fabric.  +
- +
-To enable this option, login as the Team Administrator account, and go to the **Organization** menu, and select **Policies**. Under the **File Sharing Policy** section, you will find the control **Allow file sharing from Slack**. Turn this On if you wish to allow file sharing in Slack with the File Fabric.  +
- +
- +
-=== Connecting Slack to SME === +
-In order for SME to provide you with file sharing capabilities inside Slack, it needs to be able to connect to your Slack account.  +
- +
-To connect your Slack account, you should now be able to use the **/ff** command that is available in your workspace. Simply type it as follows: +
- +
-{{::slack_-_storage_made_easy.png?800|}} +
- +
-The first-time you use this command, you will see a message asking you to "Authorize".  +
- +
-You should click on the Authorize link, and this will open a browser window. Follow the steps to Authorize the access.  +
- +
-{{:authorize.png?800|}} +
- +
-When prompted, click the green "Authorize" button.  +
- +
-{{::auth.png?400|}} +
- +
-Once successfully authorized, you should see a message in your browser like the following.  +
- +
-{{::success.png?600|}} +
- +
-Now, you should return to Slack and type **/ff** again.  +
- +
-This time, you will have the option to **Share File**. Click on this link, and you'll be taken through some steps to login into your File Fabric account.  +
- +
-First, you'll be asked to enter your File Fabric endpoint like following: +
