Appendix B - Normalized Share Types
Introduction
Every cloud application has its own standardized share types for accessing cloud resources. The naming convention of these file sharing types are unique and platform independent.
To provide file sharing insights based on all cloud applications on board, FortiCASB normalized share types are created to standardized the share types among different cloud application platforms. Share types with similar file access permission are grouped together under a FortiCASB normalized share type.
