South River Technologies With V12 of WebDrive File Access Client

South River Technologies, Inc. announced the version 12 of WebDrive File Access Client.

It enables to access files on servers and cloud storage services as you access, store, and edit files on desktop by using the interface of a drive letter. It is currently installed on approximately 5 million desktops in over 130 countries.

This release adds features such as asynchronous cache mode, which improves editing and overall performance of a mapped drive by allowing deletes, renames, and creates to be performed asynchronously.

“WebDrive allows our patrons to securely access their files in the desktop environment they are already accustomed to working in,” says Brian Luper, associate director of IT, Rutgers University. “It has been very popular with our students.“

The university has had an enterprise implementation of WebDrive since 2006.

“The performance enhancements in version 12 are especially beneficial to the large corporations and educational institutions that use and rely on WebDrive regularly,” says Michael Ryan, CEO, South River Technologies.

It also features automatic offline mode, which enables you to continue editing files in your cache if a connection to the server is lost by automatically switching to offline mode.

It is available at a price of $69.95 for a single license, and with larger corporate licenses available at less than $12 per seat.
