Drive 4 Business was born from the necessity to consult the file server on the move, facilitating remote access without limits.
We are increasingly spending less time in our offices to do our work. Being able to access the file server from multiple devices without the need for a VPN connection is a major advantage as it makes it easier to adapt to surrounding situations whilst boosting productivity.
Drive 4 Business allows you not only to replicate the File Server, but also to integrate Active Directory to copy data, users, groups and permissions.
Being data very valuable, we have structured Drive 4 Business in such a way that data is transmitted via secure encrypted networks and have implemented the service with a ransomwareprotection system.
Reserved space is managed and potentially unlimited, with costs proportional to the needed capacity and the number of users.
In order to understand the dynamics of the service, it is necessary to analyse in detail which advantages are linked to any user and those reserved for administrators.
Benefits associated with Admin users with Drive4Business
The installation of Drive 4 Business is very simple and can be done independently directly from the Cortex portal.
In case of scenarios where some users do not need to have the share at hand, we can create a hybrid tunnel that allows some users to continue using the traditional tools and those on the move to use Drive 4 Business.
At the Admin level, Drive 4 Business allows very in-depth operations. You can access the control dashboard at any time to monitor the activity on each file and, if necessary, recover mistakenly deleted files or restore previous versions. In fact, through the auditlog and audit logging you can track accesses, searches, views, exports and changes made within the share. Such a feature appears to be crucial, since in case of any issues with folders or files it will allow you to easily identify where you need to take action.
In addition, as the platform has an extremely high level of security, it will warn you if one or more users behave suspiciously (e.g. delete a lot of data in a very short time, etc.), after blocking compromising actions and users.
You can deactivate users at any time, activate others, modify groups, read and write permissions for each user in total autonomy and directly from the platform. We are constantly working on the interface to make it easier and more intuitive to use.
Benefits for all Drive 4 Business users
You can install the Drive 4 Business agent on multiple devices, such as PCs, tablets and mobile phones. This way your business files are always available for easy access, no matter where you are. Moreover, thanks to the file cache management you no longer have the risk of burdening your local disk since only open files are downloaded.
Files that are modified within the shared folders will be automatically synchronised across all devices, allowing users to easily work in teams without having to exchange multiple versions of the same file, optimising time and minimising the risk of editing the wrong file.
It is also possible to allow 'guest' users to consult the files in order to facilitate collaboration with external parties and, above all, to overcome the problems arising from the exchange of large files, which no longer have to be shared via unsafe channels.
