NetExplorer Gets Ahead of the IT Market as the Only French Player to Offer Sovereign Cloud-to-Cloud Sharing

In 2026, NetExplorer became Voltn.

‍

May 2026 – French software publisher NetExplorer unveils a major innovation on May 12: sharing from any cloud. The only French solution to offer true cloud-to-cloud sharing, this breakthrough connects third-party environments (SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox…) to a sovereign interface for smooth file sharing, without ever touching the local hard drive. Natively and freely integrated into the NetExplorer Share product, this "game changer" is the result of an anticipatory strategy aimed at eradicating Shadow IT and guaranteeing total security for CIOs. An innovation that arrives right on time, ahead of the new constraints announced by Microsoft SharePoint.

Removing the download step to strengthen security

Until now, a user wanting to share a file stored in the Cloud often had to download it to their computer before sending it back through a secure interface. A seemingly harmless step, but one that exposes the file, consumes bandwidth, and escapes any IT oversight. NetExplorer removes this step: the solution now lets users pull files directly from different Clouds to send documents through a sovereign interface.

• Direct flow (Cloud-to-Cloud): the user accesses source files without ever touching their local hard drive or filling up their storage space.
• Zero friction: the recipient accesses the document via a secure link, with no need to create a third-party account or authenticate on a foreign environment.
• Compatibility: with every major cloud on the market (SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox…)
• IT control: the administrator defines which clouds are accessible and retains full control over access rights and data destination.

"With this innovation, we're moving from a document management solution to a complete digital trust platform. Our goal is to make document sharing as simple as it is effective, while guaranteeing full data sovereignty," says Charles-Etienne Gariel, CRO and expert in data governance and digital sovereignty at NetExplorer.

Performance, traceability and Green IT

Beyond securing file transfers, this innovation optimizes company resources by transforming file-sharing practices:

• Increased performance: transfers happen server-to-server, preserving the user's bandwidth even for large files.
• Digital proof: every step of the document's lifecycle generates a timestamped PDF proof, essential for sectors such as finance (DORA compliance), healthcare (HDS) or legal.
• Digital sobriety: by removing systematic file re-uploads and temporary storage on workstations, NetExplorer mechanically reduces the carbon footprint of exchanges.

Immediate accessibility

This upgrade is rolled out at no extra cost for all customers already using the NetExplorer Share solution. For new organizations, the pricing model adapts to large accounts with a floating license system, making large-scale deployment easier without a fixed per-seat cost.

More than a simple scheduling coincidence, this launch confirms the relevance of NetExplorer's R&D strategy. By anticipating market shifts, the company responds precisely to current events: starting in July 2026, the removal of OTP (One-Time Passcode) announced by Microsoft will require external partners to create third-party accounts to access files via SharePoint. Where the market faces new constraints, NetExplorer offers a sovereign, frictionless path forward, the result of its ongoing work to continuously improve usage.
