What is a Web File Manager
A web file manager is a software application that allows users to manage and access files and folders on a remote server or local computer through a web browser. It provides a user-friendly interface for uploading, downloading, editing, and managing files, making it an essential tool for individuals and organizations that need to collaborate on files and projects. With a web file manager, users can perform various file operations without the need for additional software, ensuring seamless access and management of web files from any location.

Edit Documents Online
MyWorkDrive is the only file access software that allows users to edit documents online in Office 365 with all changes saved back to the local file shares.
MyWorkDrive as a Conduit for Office 365 Online
MyWorkDrive enables enterprises to remotely edit and collaborate on documents within a browser window using Office Online while keeping files stored on their company’s server.
Our software securely connects files for viewing and editing in our Web File Manager to Office Online during online editing and continually saves changes back to the local server. Unlike other solutions that sync files to the cloud or use alternative editors our service interfaces natively with Office 365 online in a browser or from mobile versions of Microsoft Office.
Users can share files internally using links (for Office files those links allow co-editing online in Office 365 at the same time with other users) and externally using OneDrive (files are copied to OneDrive and shared externally leaving internal files secured on local shares).
Secure Web File Management
MyWorkDrive allows secure file sharing without migrating files or a VPN client. In just minutes, you can activate a private cloud web file manager client portal for secure file sharing, branded with your company logo, color scheme, and URL.
Access to files is based on Active Directory permissions out of the box. Should you wish, additional security features can be easily activated including: Data Loss Prevention and Two Factor Authentication.
Our MyWorkDrive web file sharing server is the only software that exclusively uses Active Directory security based on NTFS permissions. There are no overriding logins, databases, service accounts, or other services that can be leveraged to gain unauthorized access.
When a user logs into the Web File Manager portal they only gain access to files and folders as defined in NTFS. Even if an administrator of MyWorkDrive were to attempt to provide access to shares using MyWorkDrive, no additional access could be granted since authentication runs under the users’ security context when they log into the system.
MyWorkDrive also integrates with Microsoft Server Access Based Enumeration to provide visibility to files and folders based on NTFS permissions.
With MyWorkDrive users access files in any web browser easily without the security risks of VPNs or migrating to the cloud. Learn More…
