Release Date: September 1st, 2026

Overview

Records Management Universal File Share Connector 6.3 includes focused updates that make file share processing faster, more reliable, and easier to manage. The release is designed to help teams scan large file share environments with fewer interruptions and less manual follow-up.

What’s New

·       Discover integration improvements: UFSC works more smoothly with Discover so file share content can be used more effectively in downstream workflows.

Key Benefits
