Does this Impact DeepData?
Not at all!
We have created an entirely separate, cloud-hosted copy of DeepData's files and data. Searching and opening files within DeepData Explorer has zero impact on DeepData itself - in fact, it's faster because the files are in a secure Amazon Web Services Cloud in the US - they don't have to travel all the way from Jamaica!
