Personal cloud accounts turn any browser tab into an exit door for company files. Anexet captures and controls uploads to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box — on the endpoint, on-premise, with no vendor access to your data.

Cloud storage is convenient for employees and invisible to most security tools — a single drag-and-drop can move a confidential document to a personal account in seconds.
Files reach Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box two ways: through the desktop sync client and through the browser. Anexet covers both — the desktop client is monitored on the endpoint, while web uploads are captured through traffic interception of web cloud channels.
Because capture happens on the workstation and at the upload itself, you see which user moved which file to which service, with a timestamp — including uploads to personal accounts on corporate or unmanaged storage.
Every captured upload becomes searchable evidence in the Client Console, ready for security policies, real-time alerts, and full investigations across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Sync clients are monitored on the endpoint; browser uploads are captured via web cloud traffic interception.
Every uploaded file is tied to a user, a service, and a timestamp — personal accounts included.
Captured uploads are searchable in the Client Console and feed policies, alerts, and investigations.
Capture of cloud uploads is included from the Standard plan. Blocking file transfers to cloud services is added with Advanced; content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label comes with Premium.
Uploads captured via the desktop sync client and the browser web channel.
Desktop client and web uploads monitored on the endpoint.
Files synced by the desktop client or uploaded through the browser.
Desktop and web uploads captured at the workstation.
Additional file-sharing and storage services captured through the web cloud channel.
Uploads to private accounts on any covered service are visible, not just corporate tenants.
Block file uploads to cloud storage by security policy.
Stop uploads that match digital fingerprints or sensitivity labels.
Coverage varies by operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS). For Microsoft 365 cloud (OneDrive), the exact monitoring depth is confirmed for your environment during the demo.
Anexet records the upload itself: the file, its name and size, the destination service, and the user behind it, with a timestamp. Because capture happens on the endpoint and in the web cloud channel, both desktop sync clients and browser uploads are covered the same way.
From the Advanced plan, security policies block file transfers to cloud storage; from Premium, content-aware policies stop uploads that match digital fingerprints, keywords, or sensitivity labels — so a confidential document can be opened and read locally but never synced out. Every action is logged as evidence for investigations.
At a glance — what Anexet captures and controls across cloud storage services. Monitoring is included from the Standard plan; blocking file uploads is added with Advanced.
| Service | Monitoring | Blocking |
|---|---|---|
| Google Drive | Files & uploads | Partial |
| Microsoft OneDrive | Files & uploads | Partial |
| Dropbox | Files & uploads | Partial |
| Box | Files & uploads | Partial |
| Other cloud storage | Files & uploads | Partial |
Monitoring is included from Standard. Blocking file uploads is part of Advanced; content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label comes with Premium. "Partial" means transfer blocking on supported upload channels.
Four steps from a file upload on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.
A lightweight agent on the workstation captures cloud uploads — desktop sync clients and browser-based web cloud alike.
1
Captured files and upload metadata are sent to your on-premise server and indexed for search.
2
Security policies scan content in real time and can block the upload, quarantine, or alert on a match.
3
Analysts review uploads, build cases, and export court-grade evidence from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet monitors and controls cloud storage uploads.
Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, and other file-sharing services, captured both through the desktop sync client and the browser-based web cloud channel. The exact set depends on the operating system and is confirmed for your environment during the demo.
Yes. Capture happens at the endpoint and at the upload itself, so files moved to private accounts on any covered service are visible — not only uploads to your corporate tenants.
Yes, from the Advanced plan. Security policies can block file transfers to cloud storage, while content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label is part of Premium. A confidential file can be opened locally but prevented from syncing out.
Yes. The endpoint agent reports to your on-premise servers over the Internet, so home-office and field staff are covered by the same cloud upload capture, policies, and reporting as in-office employees.
Never. Anexet is deployed fully on-premise: all captured data stays inside your infrastructure and the vendor has no access to it.
