Configure Network Share to keep, delete or transfer files

FortiSandbox can scan files stored in a network share folder and quarantine files of any rating. You can also create and edit quarantine locations in the Security Fabric. However, enabling the Keep a copy of the original file on FortiSandbox option in Network Share settings may skip some files depending on the Quarantine settings.
