28 WebDrive File Access Client Reviews
We operate remote offices utilizing Amazon S3, iDrive Cloud Storage, and remote drives on servers thru a webdrive thru sftp connection. With Webdrive we are able to map remote drives, from multiple locations, as local drives. This way multiple remote office locations are able to work on the same data seemlessly. The cost of using Webdrive for multiple locations saves us several hundred dollars when compared to Amazons internal gateway service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
getting the settings correct to allow multiple users proper updates without having to refresh cache Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am an independent IT Specialist. With the burst of cloud drives everywhere, clients were asking for something that would aggregate their different accounts into something useful. Between Webdrive, Expandrive, and others I test drove, WebDrive offered the best experience. Their support team is also quick in helping resolve issues. Support for a plethora of providers is a boon. As is the speed and ease of use, log file data, and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times, it does require updates. When it autoupdates, it doesn't always mention that the program or system should be restarted. User is stuck trying to figure out why files are not synced or opening. When you open the Webdrive program, it'll tell you an update has been applied and needs to be restarted. Small glitch which I hope is resolved soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using for years for easy editing of files in the cloud. I like that it doesn't change the file extension like google docs does. I use it with S3 and have previously used with Onedrive. It works perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. Good product, good support, reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Read and write access to remote servers as if they were local is way more useful than it sounds. Supports many connection profiles including S/FTP, SSH, Google, S3, and others. I've used it almost daily for something like 15 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't been able to find any other way to replicate what WebDrive does, so it makes me a little nervous to depend on it so heavily. However, I recently had an issue (for the first time in ~15 years) and they solved it for me with a remote desktop session. So now I also know how good their support is.

Simple to use and setup. Acts just like a mapped drive. Excellent support when needed (problem my fault, not caused by the app) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some short delay between local and remote actions, but considering what is happening, this is completely understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Webdrive gives me complete access to all my sites no matter where I am. Absolutely indispensable and very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having to "approve" linking with WD every time I open it, but this is a Windows issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our organization has all digital files within our Document Management System (Alfresco). We interface with Alfresco via WebDAV as a mapped drive within File Explorer. A few months back we started to have problems with Adobe PDF files and it was recommended for us to use WebDrive to interface the WebDAV connection. We had a few issues because our organization security systems were interfering with the WebDrive application and Jeff was fantastic isolating the problem and resolving it. We also had major issues some files going to zero file size after users save their work, losing their work. Jeff was a life saver working with me to troubleshoot and even working with their development team to release a beta version to resolve the issue. It saved my bacon!!
It also a good application to connect to other cloud drives if we ever have any in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes WebDrive will work slow for some users. This might be a network issues on our end thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use WebDrive to connect to two Google Drive accounts plus four Microsoft OneDrive accounts (Microsoft 365). I am a single user so I do not have the resources of a company IT team behind me. When I have questions or issues the WebDrive support team has been responsive and easy to deal with. They have solved my problem in every case with no exceptions. I am a very satisfied customer.

Some of the options/check boxes use very "techy" verbiage. If you are an IT professional this is no problem but for a 64 year old single user this can be a problem. If you want to make the product more usable by a broader spectrum of people there should be explanations (pop-up right next to the item) in simple, plain language that a high school graduate can understand.

Easy to use and great support. We have used the product for YEARS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. There is nothing about the product to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This product was very easy to install on my PC and my Mac. It's easy to connect to S3 and S3-compatible stores. The support services are outstanding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't found anything that I disklike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
