What is MyWorkDrive?

MyWorkDrive Secure Remote File Access

MyWorkDrive aims to make file share remote access easy, safe and fast. MyWorkDrive provides file share remote access by eliminating the need to support users with VPN.

  1. Install server software in just a few minutes.
  2. Configure file shares.
  3. Access files securely over any Web Browser or our Client Apps

With it, security models based on protecting file servers behind firewalls and having remote users VPN in, can be abandoned.

MyWorkDrive’s technology enables enterprises to provide instant remote file access to their fileshare‘s online without migrating their files to new systems, moving to the cloud or changing the way they work.

  • Web browser interface
  • Access and share files from Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC or any web-enabled device
  • Collaborate with business partners using external folder sharing
  • Access file shares at high speed using traditional file share mapped drives on-premise
  • Online file editing using Office 365 Online
  • Avoid investments and expense of new Online File Share databases or migrations
  • Secure fileshare collaboration with native NTFS Active Directory user access permissions, detailed logging, and 4096 bit RSA encryption
