Egnyte Alternative – Secure Enterprise Remote File Access

No Databases/Vendor Lock-in

Unlike Egnyte, MyWorkDrive uses existing active directory users, group and NTFS permissions to provision users. No additional administration or database backup software licenses or management is needed when integrating MyWorkDrive. Files remains in standard NTFS format instead of proprietary cloud storage. Optionally customers may also connect to OneDrive or SharePoint alongside standard SMB file shares.

Pricing

MyWorkDrive pricing starts at $6/user/month with no migration costs. In contrast, Egnyte starts at $22/user/month and requires file migration and user retraining—both at the company’s expense. With MyWorkDrive, files stay in place, and users can access them using our mapped drive client with no training required.

Reduce Cost & Complexity

MyWorkDrive leverages the existing Windows infrastructure an organization already has and can be implemented quickly and efficiently with no changes to existing workflows, servers, or clients. By implementing the MyWorkDrive web browser file manager alone, customers can reduce the cost of supporting traditional VPN and Sync/Share clients by 50% or more.

Remote Office Document Editing

Only MyWorkDrive has the ability to edit documents stored on local file shares natively in Office 365 online and Office Mobile Apps. . In contrast, data stored with Egnyte must be synced to the cloud before it can be edited. With MyWorkDrive all data remains stored on-premise, in the customers own data center, or on the cloud provider of their choice.

Reduced Administration

Egnyte imports Active Directory users and groups into a database and requires manual management of license keys. With MyWorkDrive, Active Directory is native and licenses are automatically provisioned and de-provisioned as users drop off after 30 days with no additional administrative overhead.

Better Web Browser Client

Egnyte emulates the Dropbox-style interface with an emphasis on file sharing. With MyWorkDrive users view and edit files in our file explorer-style interface greatly reducing training and support costs. MyWorkDrive also provides a mapped drive client that supports multiple drive letters exactly mirroring the in-house experience remotely.

Security

Unlike Egnyte, MyWorkDrive does not store or use login information or access to files. This is done with native support for NTFS and Access-Based Enumeration. All file access is granted in the context of the currently logged on user only. For communications, MyWorkDrive uses SHA256 Encryption and provides the necessary controls for compliance with CMMC, FINRA, HIPAA, and GDPR. MyWorkDrive provides additional security with device approval, data leak prevention, and extensive logging.
