secure cloud storage without external access
HOW NEBULA WORKS:
SECURE CLOUD STORAGE WITH NO EXTERNAL ACCESS
Our PointCab Nebula cloud storage solution makes it easy to securely store and access data and projects – without us or anyone else having access to it.
See how it works:
THE NEBULA DATA WORKFLOW AT A GLANCE:
LOGIN & LICTRUST
Our “LicTrust” system works in the background and is used to verify your credentials.
To login, go to the login page and enter your name and password. If you forgot your password, you can reset it there. All data is securely encrypted.
If everything checks out, you will be granted access to Nebula.
WHAT KIND OF DATA IS PROCESSED BY POINTCAB?
We only process basic information on our servers that is required for the use of Nebula.
This includes:
- The user account and license data
- Individualized Nebula settings
- An overview of the shared links and thumbnails of the projects
- Caching of binary point cloud data necessary for rendering in Cesium (no meta data).
Important:
The actual project data and content are NOT processed on PointCab’s servers!
WHERE IS MY DATA HOSTED?
Projects and data are hosted in the cloud storage of your choice. This can be your own server (e.g. with Nextcloud) or an external provider such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or Amazon’s AWS cloud.
You choose where your data is hosted.
HOW DOES VISUALIZATION WORK?
When working with Nebula, data from cloud storage is loaded and displayed in the open project view.
Good to know:
The data stays in your cloud. PointCab has no access to it – Nebula is only used to visualize and share the data.
DATA TRANSFER
HTML and JavaScript provide the framework for data transfer in the background.
This is how all data is transferred from the server to the user’s computer.
CONCLUSION
The data remains secure in the selected storage location.
PointCab has no access to the content – access rights are defined by the user.
