Open-Source Software for Virtual Data Rooms

Virtual data room software lets you share and track documents securely in protected environments.

Core features include sharing control, access restrictions, and tracking of document activity.

Typical use cases include sales, investor relations, and confidential business transactions.

No product with a verified open-source data room in its base version is currently listed here. According to its enterprise README, Papermark counts data rooms among its proprietary extensions. Its open core is therefore listed under file sharing. The following feature cards describe typical requirements, not guaranteed features of an open edition.

File sync and sharing suits everyday exchange and making files available across devices. Document management systems focus on long-term filing, search, and versioning, while data rooms focus on the controlled exchange of confidential documents.
