# Feature Matrix

BabelBird Enterprise Drive can be understood through the full file lifecycle: upload, creation, preview, editing, synchronization, sharing, permission control, version retention, search, archiving, audit, automation and AI retrieval. Actual availability depends on the deployed version, licensed modules and administrator configuration.

## Key New Or Easily Missed Capabilities

### Encrypted Folder

Encrypted folders are password-protected folders inside shared enterprise drive spaces. Users create them from the New menu, enter a folder name and password, and receive a folder with a lock indicator. Opening the folder requires the password each time; even when files inside are shared, recipients still need the encrypted folder password to access the content.

The password must be kept by the creator. The feature uses anonymous encryption, so a lost password cannot be recovered by operators or engineers. See [Encrypted Folder](encrypted-folder.md).

### Sensitive Content Recognition

Sensitive content recognition lets administrators configure sensitive keywords or recognition policies in the enterprise console. Files detected as sensitive can be marked and, depending on configuration, restricted from viewing, sharing or routed to manual handling. It is useful for contracts, certificates, personal data, customer materials, finance files, R&D materials and regulated content. See [Sensitive Content Recognition](sensitive-content-recognition.md).

### Waterfall View

The waterfall view is designed for image-heavy scenarios. It lets users browse material files, design images, product photos, drawings and campaign assets as thumbnails. Image-heavy folders can be switched or adapted to waterfall mode and combined with material libraries, tags, image metadata, text-to-image search and image-to-image search. See [Material Library](material-library.md).

## Usage Guidance

1. Map the workflow around file intake, collaboration, sharing, archiving and retrieval before choosing modules.
2. For sensitive files, combine permissions, file access control, watermarks, encrypted folders, sensitive content recognition, audit logs and download controls.
3. For image and material scenarios, prioritize material libraries, waterfall view, tags, image metadata, text-to-image search and image-to-image search.
4. For repetitive file handling, use automation tasks to standardize naming, organizing, PDF conversion, cleanup and folder creation.
5. For AI usage, confirm knowledge scope, permission inheritance, model deployment, data flow and audit requirements first.
