-
In-Memory Volatile Credentials: Passwords, private keys, and API tokens are never saved into browser
localStorage, session history, search bars, or DOM attributes. - Global Mounts: Administrators can configure global shares in the Admin Panel and assign access permissions to specific users. Assigned shares automatically populate in the user's Favorites / Bookmarks menu.
- Streamed Cross-Node Pipelines: Transfers between two remote nodes stream directly through memory pipes without storing intermediate temporary files on the host disk.
