Benefits of Manually Scanning Files

• Allows you to investigate files that were not filtered by existing blocklists.

• Provides all file analysis data that accompanies known suspicious files, such as behavior analysis and network activity.

There is a limit to the number of files administrators can upload for manual scanning. File uploads are limited by realm (across all users in a realm) in a 24-hour period.
