WebDrive

WebDrive is a simple desktop program that lets you connect to online storage spaces and treat them like a regular folder on your computer. It turns far-away cloud storage into a drive letter or folder you can drag files to, open, edit, and save just like files on your laptop. It uses S3-compatible object storage as its reliable backend, connecting your computer directly to these massive, inexpensive cloud buckets so everything you save appears instantly available. This means you get the speed and simplicity of working with local files while actually storing everything safely and cheaply in the cloud without needing to upload or download manually. The real-world value is that teams and individuals can share huge amounts of data, work from anywhere, and never worry about running out of hard drive space because S3 handles all the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Connection / Setup

  1. Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
  2. Click I'm ready to set up my storage
  3. Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
  4. Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
  5. Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below
