Alextra Standard Features


Welcome

In a nutshell, Alextra™ is a secure, web-based database/file storage system for personal or business use that enables you to communicate information to whoever you choose. By sharing information through the Web and not using the mail or other delivery services, Alextra™ will also save you time and money. But, before we hit the detail, let’s take a look at what we’re not and what we don’t do. We do not require files or data to be saved in specific formats and the service we offer is neither complicated nor difficult to understand. Finally, we don't have a complex set-up procedure and our monthly user fee is only $9.99.

Having got that off our chest let’s look at what Alextra™ can do for you. Put simply, if you use a computer then Alextra™ could almost certainly save you time, money and effort. The principle is straightforward. With your own secure Alextra Library you can store, retrieve and edit data and files from anywhere in the world and at any time. You can also authorize other Users to view and, if required, edit the data you have stored.

As a simple example of how Alextra™ can work for you, imagine that the file you’ve been working on at home needs input from co-workers in different countries before further editing at work. Just upload the file to your Alextra™ Library, ask your co-workers to access the file and make the relevant changes. Then, when back at work, retrieve it from the Library and start editing. No floppies, no hard copies and no lengthy, unreliable e-mail attachments. Simple, isn’t it?

At only $9.99, you can have a reliable, versatile and secure means of quickly storing, updating and sharing data and information. Alextra™ is easy to use and requires little of your time, resources or personal involvement to get the best from it. Can you afford to let such an invaluable aid to your professionalism pass you by?

Standard Features

  • Data Storage and Retrieval. Files can be stored in your personal library or libraries. You, the library owner, have total control over both content and access to the data stored in your library. To view the library content, just log on and retrieve the appropriate file. To edit your data, download the file to your own computer’s hard drive, make the necessary changes and then upload the amended and saved version to your library. Up loading data from your own computer is immediate.
  • Data Security. The content of your library is password protected and is not accessible to web surfers or members of the public. You may only view or change data by entering the e-mail address and password you registered when opening your account.
  • Data Sharing. The content of a Library can be made accessible to the Public or restricted to one or more authorised users. The Library Owner must give specific permission for anyone else to view or amend files held in the library.
  • Faster Download. Downloading e-mail data and text file attachments can be unreliable and take a frustratingly long time. With Alextra™ , data can be downloaded  many times faster than standard e-mail. This means you spend less time waiting for that important file and more time working productively.
  • Off-Site Backup. For reasons of security, privacy or just good housekeeping you’ve decided you need a reliable off-site backup service. Alextra™ is perfect for the task. Just post the data to your library, update as necessary and relax in the knowledge that it’s totally secure and accessible by you alone.
  • Auditing. Keeping track of changes made to data, when they were made and by whom, can be a useful business and information management tool. If required, Alextra™ can notify you and users of your library by e-mail whenever an item in their library is changed.
  • Accessible Worldwide. Because Alextra™ is a Web-based storage system, the files and data stored in your library are accessible from anywhere in the world. All you need is a browser and a connection to the Internet!
  • View Files On line. You can view files held in your library while staying on line. If you wish to change a file you simply download it, make the desired changes and then upload the new version to your library.
  • Versatility

    • File and Data Formats.Files and data can be stored in an Alextra™ Library in any format. For users without the necessary software to view specific files, Alextra™ has a list of free viewer software that you can download. (See Plug-in Page)
