You will require a virtual room (VDR) if you are conducting a transaction that requires secure exchange of documents. A reliable VDR can simplify your operations and improve efficiency by providing a single, secure platform for sharing files and storing information. It should support different file types, offer high-speed downloads and uploads, allow mobile access, and include Q&A functions. A good VDR also has robust security features like granular permissions, document watermarking and mobile access.
