Cloud File Sharing and Management Solution

iDrivePortal enables users to access the remote files and folders using only a browser. Users of the Windows Explorer and other similar file managers could easy start to interact with iDrivePortal cloud solution. Among the basic operations with files the following are available: create, copy, move, delete, rename, preview of details, lists sorting, and search. The tree-like folder structure is available, well as the thumbnails or detailed display mode.

Starting from earlier versions of iDrivePortal provides not only a viewing function, but also the ability to edit documents, tables and presentations online using only a browser. iDrivePortal interacts with the leading online editing services, such as Google docs, Microsoft online, Office 365, ONLYOFFICE, and provides their interface in order to edit documents stored within iDrivePortal Azure storage account(s). From now on, there is no need for the users to download the app's desktop to work with documents, and move documents. Online editors and viewers support the most types of Office files from Microsoft, free OpenOffice, pdf, and other files.

iDrivePortal allows you to open remote documents directly from MS Office or free OpenOffice / Libreoffice for editing. The Users do not need to manually download documents and upload them back. The program implements WebDAV protocol through which the documents are automatically uploaded and stored on iDrivePortal client's Azure storage account containers by office applications. Once the document is opened in Office, in the future the user can continue to edit the document at any time, even without opening the browser in iDrivePortal. However, all the document changes are sent to the client's Azure storage account container. While editing the document is locked for any other users.

iDrivePortal supports real-time collaborative editing feature (showing all changes instantly for all users) using ONLYOFFICE suite. Commenting and built-in chat, reviewing and tracking changes are also available in ONLYOFFICE. iDrivePortal supports joint work on documents in desktop MS Office. A user, who first opened a document for review, has the ability to save changes. Other users can make changes in the document, but they cannot save their changes until the first user closes the document. Once the document lock is removed (that means that the first user has closed the document), then other users will receive a notification that the document is available for editing. All the changes will be automatically loaded. Thus, no changes will be lost: either made by the first user, or by other users.

On the latest vesrion of iDrivePortal we have improved the function of media files play. The users can watch videos and listen to music without completely downloading them by using the embedded browser's player. iDrivePortl supports the streaming video and video scroll function. A function of video conversion from different formats is available.

Two (2) types of the documents and folders Sharing function is available for the users: internal links to the users, who have profiles in iDrivePortal and public links for the anonymous users (no registration required). From now on, all the users can create their own storages from any folder and allow their friends uploading the documents. Also they can share the documents and allow downloading them to all those, who will receive the public link.

iDrivePortal is friendly with such popular cloud storages as Dropbox, Google drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Box. If the users have the account at any of those cloud storage, they can easily move files and folders between iDrivePortal and their own cloud storage.

Now the files size can exceed 2 GB and is practically unlimited. It's also available to download several files at once. To download multiple folders or nested structure of files there is a zip and download function - automatic archiving of selected folders into zip archive and its subsequent downloading.
