This guide explains how developers can use the Workspaces .NET SDK to develop applications to allow end users to work with files protected by Workspaces.

Workspaces allows users to securely share files with others. File owners maintain full control of each file that they share, including permissions to view, print, copy and download a file. For example, file owners can change access permissions, set a file expiration date, or revoke access to a file at any time even after a file is shared with devices beyond your organization's control.

Workspaces consists of two core services

1. Workspaces: into which files can be uploaded to be securely shared with others

2. Send: by which files are securely shared with others

API Version
