WebDrive

WebDrive is a drive mapping utility that uses open FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV protocols[2] to access remote file servers, and proprietary or vendor-specific 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 protocols.
  • Native support for Windows, OS X, Android and iOS operating systems (the program was originally Windows-only)

History and Use[edit]

Webdriverwait

Though associated with traditional FTP protocols, WebDrive has had a long history of being considered a unique type of FTP client because it made remote folders look like part of the native operating system's file manager rather than display a 'two pane' view (a.k.a. an 'orthodox file manager') used by most FTP clients.[3][4] Its publisher claims over 5 million installations today[5] and it remains a popular utility on college campuses[6][7][8] and similar organizations with 'casual' file transfer needs, but competing file transfer software with similar drive mapping capabilities has appeared in recent years.[9]

A Mac edition was introduced in September 2009[10] and mobile editions for the iOS and Android were introduced in November 2013 and March 2014 respectively.[11][12]

Webdriver

Through at least 2002 Novell rebranded an earlier version of WebDrive as NetDrive and also added iFolder transfer support to its rebranded edition.[13]
