Cloud Storage Monitoring

Personal cloud accounts turn any browser tab into an exit door for company files. Uploads to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box are captured and controlled.

Where Files Quietly Leave the Company

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 browser uploads are captured through HTTP/HTTPS traffic interception on the endpoint.

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.

Why it matters

  • Desktop and web

    Sync clients are monitored on the endpoint; browser uploads are captured via web (HTTP/HTTPS) traffic interception on the endpoint.

  • Who moved what

    Every uploaded file is tied to a user, a service, and a timestamp — personal accounts included.

  • Evidence-ready

    Captured uploads are searchable in the Client Console and feed policies, alerts, and investigations.

Cloud Storage Channels, Captured

Capture of cloud uploads is included in every plan, starting with Standard, with policies to keep sensitive files from leaving through cloud storage.

Coverage scope

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.

What Anexet Captures — and Blocks

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.

Every service is captured on the endpoint with the same level of detail — files, uploads, and sync activity, tied to a user and a timestamp.

How Cloud Storage Monitoring Works

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 uploads over HTTP/HTTPS 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 or trigger a real-time alert on a match.

3

Analysts review uploads, build cases, and export reports and captured evidence from the Client Console.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how Anexet monitors and controls cloud storage uploads.

Which cloud storage services does Anexet monitor?

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.
