Users prefer a cloud drive volume in Mac Finder

Simplify User Training

Every mobile worker knows about mapping local drives to access a central file server. A cloud drive provides the same user experience as the Mac Finder and saves time and money on user training.

Reduce Costs

A cloud drive supports on-demand access, so the MacBook with smaller SSD drive can see the full extent of the shared cloud drive without having to store 100% of the cloud drive content locally. It doesn't force mobile workers to upgrade their MacBook and save money.

Best of Both Worlds

Combines the security and control of Windows file servers with the ease of use and productivity of the cloud with cloud drive access.

Permission Control

Has a simpler strategy for migrating and configuring permissions than SharePoint, Dropbox or Google Drive - inherits them directly from the file server.

Endpoint Protection

Add cloud backup capabilities to back up local folders from Mac to a central cloud file server and further to Wasabi Hot Storage.

File Locking

File locking is important on a cloud drive for multi-user collaboration.

Wasabi Cloud Drive Client Agent Features

Once the Mac client agent software is deployed on the user's Mac, the cloud drive will appear in the Mac Finder like an external drive with the following features.

ON-DEMAND ACCESS

The user sees the files and folders, but the files are downloaded only when they are needed, so the local hard disk can be much smaller than the entire contents of the file server.

FILE LOCKING

Automatic file locking locks files when the user is actively working on them. Manual file locking is also available to check out files and check them back in after changes.

VERSION CONTROL

For modified files, previous versions of the file are saved in case they are useful at a later time. Version history and retention policies are available.

OFFLINE FILES

Files and folders that are used frequently can be marked as favorites for offline access. Files marked as offline are preloaded into the local cache for later use.

RANSOMWARE PROTECTION

Detect suspicious activity and block ransomware on endpoints. When an unusual frequency of file changes is detected, the protection mechanism kicks in and locks the device.

RELIABLE TRANSFER

Unlike VPN connections, where file transfer can be interrupted if the underlying Internet connection is unstable, additional reliability features have been built in to overcome Internet interruptions.

DIFFERENTIAL UPLOAD

For large files with small local changes, binary differential blocks are calculated, and the individual blocks are uploaded instead of the entire file to save bandwidth and time.

ENDPOINT ENCRYPTION

For files that are in the local file cache, encryption is available to protect these files that have been downloaded to the local cache. Without a successful login, these files remain encrypted at rest and are protected.

FORENSIC TRACE

Audit traces and file change history logs are available to analyze who changed which files on the local machine and when, or moved files and folders from which source to which destination.

Folder Synchronization

Cloud drive mapper and folder synchronization work hand-in-hand to provide additional business continuity capabilities for business users. Synchronize the on-premises "Documents" folder with the enterprise cloud file server backed by private Wasabi Hot Storage for easy offline editing and with endpoint backup.

Check out the following folder synchronization features!

Offline Editing

Local files can be read and modified when the laptop is not connected.

Version Control

Version control can be used to resolve conflicts with offline editing mode.

Endpoint Backup

Folders from edge device can be backed up to central corporate file servers.

Cloud Backup

Shared folders on the file server network can be backed up to private cloud storage accounts.

Reverse Synchronization

Files and folders in the cloud can be reverse-synced to the local device to create a local backup.

Conflict Detection

If employees go offline and continue to modify files, the source version of the modification is recorded for later comparison.
