For your own security, click the "Log Off" button when you are
done. It
only takes an extra second, but signing out will terminate the session
connection to the FilesAnywhere web
service. This
prevents unintended use of your FilesAnywhere account
from your PC and closes all account resources on the web server.
It is not required, but we do recommend pressing the Logout button each time you are done for security reasons.
When you are finished with your current session, it's a good habit to Log Off. This closes your open connection with the FilesAnywhere server, which is important for your security. It prevents another user from accessing your account, especially if you are working on a computer that is shared with other users. This also clears resources that are normally reserved on our server to maintain your active session.
Your session remains open in the background even if you move on to visit other websites, until you Log Off or shutdown your web browser. You can return to FilesAnywhere using the BACK button on your browser and continue where you left off. If you do not Logout, and leave your computer unattended, it is possible for someone else to use the computer to return to your open FilesAnywhere session.
For this reason, we have implemented an Automatic Log Off security feature to close your session with FilesAnywhere automatically after a very long pause in activity, in case you forget to Log Off. After the Automatic Log Off, any attempt to connect with the FilesAnywhere server from your earlier browser session will cause a Session Timeout warning to be displayed. After you press OK on the Session Timeout warning, the FilesAnywhere home page will be shown, where you can Login again to reopen the session with FilesAnywhere.
