WebDrive is a drive mapping utility that uses open FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV protocols to access remote file servers, and proprietary or vendor-specific Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, FrontPage and GroupDrive (also by South River Technologies) protocols to access those types of servers as well. WebDrive's features are:

  • Data transfer by drag and drop files in Windows Explorer
  • Able to execute .exe files including video and audio files
  • Able to run WebDrive as a system service when Windows starts
  • Mounts drive automatically on system start
  • Supports open FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV protocols and proprietary or vendor-specific Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, FrontPage and GroupDrive
  • Native support for Windows, Mac OS X, Android and iOS operating systems (the program was originally Windows-only)

History and Use

Novell rebranded an earlier version of WebDrive as NetDrive and also added iFolder transfer support to its rebranded edition.
