Files rarely sit where people work

Every common route costs something: convenience, control or support time.

The file server hangs off the VPN

Nothing works on the road without a tunnel. The client needs care, and every fault lands with support.

The browser gets awkward

Download, edit, upload again. In the end there are three versions on the desktop.

Sync folders spread copies

Synced folders often put company data on every device. When one is lost, the data goes with it.

One password for everything

With the main password in every program, a lost device means changing it and signing in again everywhere.

Three steps to your drive

It takes a few clicks. The portal shows the steps with your address, ready to copy.

1. Create a password

Create an app password in the portal, one per device. You choose validity, pools and rights.

2. Mount the drive

On Windows, one command from the portal is enough. In Finder and on Linux, the address will do.

3. Work as usual

Add, rename, move and delete right in the file manager. Portal and drive show the same state.

App passwordsExample
  • Anna’s laptopAll own pools, read and writeRevoke
  • ReceptionPool Inbox, read onlyRevoke
  • rclone backupPool Archive, read only, 90 daysRevoke

A password never grants more than the user has. If the tenant requires a second factor, a password can only be created from a sign-in with a second factor.

Control per device

Every device has its own key.

The main password stays out of it. If a device goes missing, you revoke exactly its access.

Choose validity: unlimited, 30 days, 90 days or 1 year

Read and write, or read only

What SecureFiles Drive brings

A network drive with the comfort of the file manager and the controls of a data room.

No software, no VPN

Windows, macOS and Linux speak WebDAV out of the box. The connection runs over HTTPS only.

The same rights as in the portal

Roles, folder rights and limits apply on the drive too. A withdrawn right takes effect on the next request.

Versions and recycle bin

Saving under the same name creates a new version. Deleting moves to the recycle bin, where files can be restored.

Malware scan

Every new file is scanned before others can see it. Whoever added it keeps working in the meantime.

Complete log

Every download through the drive is in the pool log, just like one in the portal.

Clean pool, clear locks

Helper files like Thumbs.db stay out. If someone opens a file for editing, it is locked for others.

Cloud drive or file server with VPN

For documents and project files, much speaks for the drive. For programs with a database, the server stays.

Questions about the cloud as a network drive

How do I mount the cloud as a network drive?
Create an app password in the portal under SecureFiles, Drive and copy the command shown. On Windows it connects the drive with the letter Z:. In Finder and on Linux you enter the address.
Do I need a VPN or extra software?
No. Windows, macOS and Linux include WebDAV, and the connection runs over HTTPS. There is nothing to install on the devices.
What is WebDAV?
WebDAV is an extension of HTTP that lets programs read and write files on a server. Operating systems use it to show web storage as a network drive.
Can SecureFiles Drive be used in line with the GDPR?
SecureFiles is built for use under the GDPR: storage in data centres in Germany, encryption in transit and at rest, access by rights and a log. You receive the data processing agreement from us.
What happens if a device gets lost?
Revoke that device’s password in the portal. From the next request on it can no longer reach the pools, and all other devices keep working.
Do the same rights apply as in the portal?
Yes. The drive checks the rights in the pool and on the folder with every request. What is not visible in the portal does not appear there either.
Which pools do not appear on the drive?
End-to-end encrypted pools, pools that require a second factor and expired pools. Files someone may only see as a stamped view stay out as well.
Is there a file size limit on Windows?
Yes. The Windows WebClient limits transfers to 50 MB by default and then reports error 0x800700DF. The limit can be raised in the registry, as the documentation explains. Larger files also go through the portal with no change.
Can guests use the drive?
No. Guests work in the browser through their personal link. The drive is reserved for members with an account.
Are files available offline?
No. The drive is not a sync program: files stay in the pool and transfer when opened. So there is no access without a connection, but no copies on the devices either.
Does the drive replace our file server?
For documents, plans and project files, often yes. For programs that keep a database on the drive, or for very many small files, a server in your own network remains the better choice.
Does it work with rclone or other tools?
Yes. Any tool with WebDAV can sign in with an app password, such as rclone for scheduled syncs. A read-only password limits what the tool may do.
