Files Page
The Files page provides a high-level overview on the status as well as stats of files that reside within the cloud app. You have the ability to search for files that may violate corporate policy and remediate the issue.
Tip
You can refresh the page by clicking the refresh icon beside the instance name of the app.
To begin, click an app instance from the left navigate pane of the API Data Protection dashboard page.
The Files page displays these primary panels on top of the page:
- File Exposure information: Shows the total number of exposed files, and the number of private, public, internally shared, and externally shared files.
- Violations information: Shows the files that have critical data and are scanned by the Netskope data loss prevention (DLP) engine. This information is gathered by both DLP profiles and DLP rules.
- File Type information: Shows the types of files monitored, including folders, data files, images, documents, spreadsheets, native Box documents, text files, etc.
- Shared External Domains information: Shows the number of files in each of the shared external domains.
Graphs appear by default, but you can also view the data in a table instead of a graph by clicking the table icon. To view a graph, click the graph icon.
The main portion of the page contains a table showing file name, file owner, file size, file type, policy hit, and exposure information.
The Files page allows you to search for specific files and folder using filters. To use the search filters, click the filter icon to apply one or more of these filters:
