Supported Scenarios

#CyberFit Academy
What Can Be Notarized

Notary service enables the following:

• Uploading a file for notarization

• Check whether a file or its copy is authentic and
unchanged since it was notarized
• Sending a file to multiple parties for it to be signed
electronically and thereafter notarizing the signature
certificate

#CyberFit Academy
What Can Be Notarized

Limitations:

• Files larger than 1GB cannot be notarized using the

notary console, use notary service API instead to send a
pre-calculated hash to the notary service
• Files larger than 1GB cannot be signed using the notary
console, use notary service API instead to send a link to
the file to the notary service

#CyberFit Academy

Examples of files that should be notarized and/or e-signed:

Legal documents Financial documents Property documents Sales documents

Healthcare documents Academic documents Design documents Creative works

Acronis Files Cloud Conflict Resolution
Prevents data lost when multiple users are making changes to the same file
in a shared folder by monitoring the internal revision number of the file

Applies only to changes in file content, moving, copying and renaming a file
will not trigger conflict resolution

• When a user uploads a file, the internal revision number provided by the client is
checked by the server
• If the newly uploaded file has a later revision number, it will be recognized as the
latest revision of the existing file
• If not latest, uploaded file will be saved as a new file with the name:
• [OriginalFileName] [Username] [Date] <ordinal>.ext
• E.g., Report John 2015-01-05 3.docx
