Using Dropzone

Dropzone is a fileshare service which can be used to send and receive files to and from iCCS. It uses the SMB protocol, is accessible from the Internet and should only be used for file based integration.

Order a dropzone

Contact your sales representative or support@icore.se to order your Dropzone. You will receive connection information once your order has been processed.

note
  • You can only have one Dropzone.
  • There is only one set of credentials, which grants access to the everything on the Dropzone.

Connection prerequisites

  • The client computer must meet the following requirements:
    • Client OS that supports encrypted (TLS1.2 or later) SMB v3, for example:
      • Windows 8.1 or later
      • Windows Server 2012 or later
    • Remote port 445 must not be blocked.
note

Check connectivity over port 445 by using the Test-NetConnection command in Powershell. Replace "storage-account-name" with the name of your Dropzone.

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "storage-account-name".file.core.windows.net -Port 445

The command should return TcpTestSucceeded : True
