Hi everybody. A friend asked for my advice, so now i ask the experts. He has a windows network with many shared excel files. Some of them have sensitive information, information about his clients, but all of them are required to be shared. Each share is password protected. He is worried that, for example, one of his employees takes an important file from the shared network and sells it. Is there a way, in this scenario, to control who can access what? or to avoid copying files away from the shared pc, or to allow to make changes, but not to copy the file to another location? A possible solution would be to password protect or encrypt the files, but i don't think it would be be feasible it talking about some hundred files. Is there software that already takes care or this? In the long term, my suggestion would be to put all excel files into a formal database and implement access control there, maybe even a web application. What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance.
