Product Features

• Collaborate worldwide

Some revision control systems do not work effectively over HTTP – FileBank has been developed using state-of-the-art technology to provide robust, reliable communications between computers using HTTP so it works across your company network, extranet or the internet.

• Stores reverse deltas for maximum efficiency

Storing lots of copies of files that change regularly could occupy far more disk space than it’s worth, perhaps dissuading users from storing revisions of their files. However by only storing the differences between revisions of a file, FileBank reduces its footprint to a minimum.

• Multiple repositories

You can store multiple repositories on each server to manage your files more effectively. Smaller repositories will be more efficient and easier to manage. It also allows you to organise your files by project, functional unit etc.

• Easily moveable repositories

Repositories in FileBank are self-contained within a single folder, so if you want to move a repository to another computer it’s as easy as copying a single folder. The FileBank service on the new computer will automatically detect the new repository and make it available to its clients.

• Quickly compare files and folders

With FileBank you can quickly compare whole folders or individual files with ease. Whilst comparing folders you can also compare individual files so that you can quickly see changes that have been made. You can also reconcile those changes at the click of a button.

• Label your files and folder

Apply meaningful labels to your files and folders at any time. If you have reached a milestone in a project or simply want to remember a particular change in a meaningful way you can label your files and/or folders.

• File specific algorithms

FileBank uses different algorithms for different types of files to be as efficient as possible when storing differences between versions of a file.

• Incredibly compact

FileBank occupies a mere 500KB of disk space on your computer (with more space needed for your files of course) and is completely self contained. We use the .NET framework because it's robust, tried and tested. This makes our code smaller and easier to maintain which means that you get better software and more responsive development.

• Maximum reliability

Reliability is paramount in a system you are going to trust with your files. FileBank is built using the .NET framework and stores its data in a SQL database for maximum reliability.
