Every Device On Campus.
One Secure File System.
IT Back In Control.

When file access is broken, students use personal Google Drive and Discord. MyWorkDrive gives IT a single access layer that works on every device, so the sanctioned path is the fastest path. No VPN. No migration. Files stay on your servers.

A Secure Access Layer for Your Existing Campus Infrastructure

MyWorkDrive connects your campus identity system to your existing file storage over encrypted HTTPS. It runs on the Windows Server your team already manages. Students and faculty sign in the way they already sign in. Files stay where they are. Permissions stay in AD.

Works with Shibboleth, ADFS, Entra ID, Okta, and any SAML 2.0 provider. No new credentials to manage.

End the BYOD Support Spiral

Every semester brings new devices and new VPN failures. When students can't connect, they use personal cloud accounts. MyWorkDrive breaks that cycle: if it has a browser, it has file access. No client to install, no admin rights required.

Chromebooks

Web client runs natively in Chrome. No extensions, no VPN client, no admin privileges. Same access as enterprise hardware.

Windows
and Mac

Mapped drive client for traditional drive letters. Web client for quick access. Both over HTTPS, no VPN.

iOS
and Android

Native mobile apps for file browsing and editing. Students access course materials from phones between classes.

Labs, Linux, Thin
Clients

Browser-based access on shared machines, Linux workstations, and kiosks. Zero client software means zero imaging and maintenance.

How It Works Across Campus

One access layer for every role. No VPN clients, no per-device configuration, no new credentials.

Students

Browser sign-in with campus credentials. When the sanctioned path is this easy, personal Google Drive and Discord stop being the default.

Data Sovereignty for Cross-Institution Research

Share datasets with partner universities and grant reviewers through controlled, audited links. Research data stays on your servers. External collaborators get exactly the access they need, nothing more.

Password-protected guest access links, no account required
Every external access logged with identity, timestamp, IP
View-only mode with watermarks for sensitive data
Time-limited links that expire automatically
Data never leaves your institutional storage

FERPA Compliance Without the Cloud Migration Risk

Student records and research data stay on your institutional storage. You get modern access controls, audit trails, and DLP without moving a single file.

FERPA Support

Records stay in institutional storage. Access controlled by AD groups. Every access logged. No third-party repository.

Audit Trail

User identity, timestamp, source IP, device ID, file path. Every event. Single log stream. SIEM export via Syslog.

Data Leak Prevention

View-only, clipboard blocking, watermarks. Per share, group, or user. Protect sensitive materials without restricting everyday access.

Self-Hosted

Runs on your infrastructure. No data on MyWorkDrive servers. TLS 1.2+. FIPS-validated encryption. Your backup and retention policies unchanged.

Campus-Wide Licensing. Predictable Budgets.

Enrollment fluctuates every semester. Per-seat licensing turns every registration cycle into a procurement headache. MyWorkDrive offers campus-wide licensing: one predictable cost regardless of enrollment changes.

No storage fees. No per-GB charges. All clients and connectors included. Complimentary setup assistance for qualifying institutions.
