sFiles takes security seriously. sFiles was built as an enterprise app from the beginning—and it shows. sFiles uses Salesforce's built-in OAuth support to prevent tokens from ever ending up on users' computers. This allows us to offer a community-friendly version of sFiles that does not reveal any SharePoint authentication to the user.

For internal users, sFiles leverages user-level OAuth for all SharePoint resources. This transparency allows all of the built-in permissions structure and conditional access to be leveraged by the Salesforce integration. Salesforce determines visibility, but permissions remain within the Active Directory hierarchy used by SharePoint.

Uses full Microsoft security model and permissions
Community access leverages shared user with less privileges and controlled visibility in the Salesforce UI
All files communication between client machines and all servers is at least TLS 1.2 256 bit encrypted
