Simple to manage, simple to use
Designed with IT managers in mind, WebDrive is easy to implement on a large number of desktops. With the ability to embed the registration code, pre-set the connections that your users need and even run automated installs, large implementation could not be easier. And WebDrive’s instantly familiar interface lets you seamlessly work with cloud storage and corporate SFTP and WebDAV servers right from your desktop.
Replace VPN access to your files
VPNs can be challenging and time consuming to manage, particularly if you have numerous remote employees. Setting up a VPN can be quite complex- something that an individual remote user probably can't do on their own. Your IT support team may spend significant time assisting remote users. VPN connections are also extremely slow - especially for database files, slide presentations and videos.
Use WebDrive as a replacement for slow, inefficient file access through VPNs. SSL secures access to Corporate FTP and WebDAV servers, or SFTP can be used. This enables your remote staff to access files as easily as if they were on your corporate network.
Backup your files
WebDrive includes a simple backup utility which allows you to backup the files on your workstation to any remote server that WebDrive is connected to. You can easily backup your files to an offsite server and save disk space by using WebDrive’s File Manager to schedule full or partial backups.

WebDrive is very elegant in that it mounts FTP sites as persistent remote volumes, allowing us to navigate and manipulate our assets using Windows Explorer. WebDrive is EXACTLY what we needed.

WebDrive just works. Works with automation and scripting. Works from the command line or GUI. Connects to everything and never crashes. Perfect appliance tool.

Using WebDrive saves me a lot of time. It gives me the option of editing files directly on the server or changing them locally and then copying them to the mapped drive. I have tried several other similar products but this one is the best.

WebDrive for Mac allows you to mount remote FTP, SFTP and Webdav servers and have them appear in your Finder as volumes. Very nice app with a good cache management.
