Audit Upload

Audit Upload: check every file made it into your room

Point Audit Upload at the folder you uploaded from, and it tells you, file by file, what made it into the room: matched, missing, a different size, blocked by the virus scan, or in the room but not in your folder. Your browser compares file names and sizes, so the check uploads nothing and no file content leaves your computer. Add anything missing in one step, then issue a reconciliation certificate: what the room held at that moment, counted by ShareAndGo, alongside what you declared about your folder. Every check is recorded in the room's audit log. Included on every plan.

What each result means

• Matched. The file is in the room, in the same folder, at the same size.

• Missing. The file is in your folder but not in the room. Choose Add to upload just the missing files.

• Size differs. A file with the same name arrived, but its size is different, so it may be another version. Open it and check which one you want.

• Blocked. The file reached the room but the virus scan rejected it, so nobody can open it there.

• In the room, not in your folder. The room holds a file your folder doesn't, for example one someone else added. Nothing is wrong; it is listed so the picture is complete.

A file that has only just arrived can show as Still scanning for a minute or two while the virus scan runs. That is not a problem. Run the check again shortly.

What the certificate shows

The reconciliation certificate has two parts, kept apart on purpose:

• Verified by the system. Counted from the room at the moment the certificate is issued: documents held, total size, folders, files that passed the virus scan, entries in the room's audit log, and a fingerprint (SHA-256) of the room's file list: every file's folder, name and size.
• Declared by you. The folder you compared and what the check found. ShareAndGo can't see your folder, so this part is your statement and is labelled as yours.

You can include the full file list, print it or save it as a PDF. Anyone who can run Audit Upload in the room can issue a new certificate later and compare the fingerprint: if it still matches, no file has been added, removed, renamed, moved or resized since. The fingerprint covers the file list, not what is inside each file.
