OneHub is a solid file-sharing platform. But modern teams need AI intelligence, granular analytics, and advanced security that traditional VDRs cannot provide.

Security that goes beyond permissions
OneHub relies on role-based permissions and watermarking. Peony adds screenshot protection, dynamic watermarks tied to viewer identity, NDA gating, 2FA, password protection, and automatic link expiry — securing the entire document lifecycle.
Screenshot protection
Block screen captures of sensitive documents. OneHub has no screenshot blocking — once a document is viewed, it can be captured freely.
Dynamic watermarks
Every page stamped with the viewer's identity and timestamp. If a document leaks, you know exactly who shared it.
NDA-gated access
Require viewers to sign an NDA before accessing documents. Built-in e-signatures make it seamless — no separate tool needed.
