MyWorkDrive is not another File Sync and Share product. In fact, it is a NEW PARADIGM for providing remote workers with faster, easier, and direct access to their work files.
The premise for Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS ) products is that company files are synced across managed user devices, permissions are managed outside of Active Directory, and the process of connecting to existing file shares is more of an afterthought.
We designed MyWorkDrive from the ground up to provide simple, secure, and fast web browser & mapped drive access to existing file shares—leveraging native Active Directory integration. For example, with other Sync and Share products, even if they do have an option to connect to existing Windows file shares, users must be manually imported from Active Directory every time a new user is created. With MyWorkDrive, since we tie directly into Active Directory, there is no user management maintenance needed going forward. As users are added or removed from a group in Active Directory, they are automatically added or removed from MyWorkDrive.
From an engineering perspective, MyWorkDrive has a much stronger and secure engine that utilizes Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) as opposed to many Sync and Share products that leverage Apache. This makes it much easier to manage, patch and add your own SSL Certificates, leveraging skills your technicians already have.
With MyWorkDrive, there are no databases to manage, unlike Sync and Share products. Therefore, administrators do not need to worry about databases that need pruning, patching or backups. Furthermore, MyWorkDrive can be installed on existing servers due to the smaller footprint. MyWorkDrive price point is also much lower than Sync and Share products—ranging from $1 – $3 per user, instead of up to $15 per user per month.
With a much lighter footprint, easy management, and fast deployment, MyWorkDrive can be setup in UNDER 30 MINUTES. With Sync and Share on-premises solutions, you need to setup multiple servers, manage databases, configure your own file editors, configure LDAP, connectors and numerous other items to deploy the software. With MyWorkDrive, native Active Directory integration is included in all pricing levels OUT OF THE BOX. Therefore, ALL user and group permissions are inherited and utilized automatically.
Another big differentiator of MyWorkDrive is our patent-pending Cloud Connector. We are unique in this respect. The included Cloud Connector option enables direct access to your MyWorkDrive server through our patent-pending integration system. This means there are no SSL Certificates to setup, no firewall/NAT policy rules to change, nor DNS settings to adjust. Your files remain on your server UNDER YOUR CONTROL but are made available to your users through our network in minutes. This means you can get a Proof of Concept or long-term MyWorkDrive solution up and running quickly—all with minimal technical skills and no ongoing maintenance.
