- Map Dropbox folder

- Create request list
- Move active files
- Close spreadsheet tracker
How HubSecure fits
HubSecure fits when regulated client work needs a connected workspace for records, secure requests, files, messages, permissions, tasks, approvals and audit history. It is strongest when teams want fewer manual handoffs and cleaner evidence without making the client experience heavy.
The first workflow to review is usually the one with the most chasing, the most sensitive files, or the weakest proof of who did what. Start there, measure completion time and reminders, then expand to adjacent client workflows.
