What WebDrive is
WebDrive maps cloud and on-premises storage to local drive letters, letting users access remote files through familiar paths. It supports SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, WebDAV, SMB, Amazon S3, Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, and Synology, including shared-folder and hybrid NAS access. Users can edit remote files and automate tasks with scripting, but folder synchronization is not supported. IT teams can preconfigure connections, embed registration codes, and deploy clients with automated installs. Administrators can restrict approved storage connections and block external file services. Security features include SSL/TLS encryption, SSH, S/Key password protection, and encrypted configuration files. Enterprise logging records file activity across users and storage. MSI, EXE, and PKG installers, command-line utilities, a defaults folder, and interface lockout options support administration. WebDrive runs on Windows 10+, Windows Server, and macOS. Annual licenses include Maintenance and Support. The individual license costs $150 a year, and a free trial is available.
