WebDrive Pricing

Worked fine until I had to reinstall it and it states my license expired.

You pay the full price for a license and if you have to reinstall or upgrade after a year it expires so you have to buy it all over again. They used to have a flat price for the software, but now they force you to pay for maintenance support which adds an additional 50% to the cost. They care more about the profits than the customers now.

Sorry for the confusion. You are always able to download the version that you purchased, whether it is the current release or not. You are not required to renew your maintenance and support- you only need to renew if you wish to download the current version or would like access to our technical support ticketing system. You can easily renew maintenance and support unless your license is a few years...

I have extensively used this software in my grad school. My research involves computer simulations and hence I am able to use SFTP connection to my university account where I run simulations and store data. Using WebDrive has been a blessing as I can update my simulations and extract data for analysis remotely and this has been specially useful during visit to another cities for conferences. The syncing of the new data is also excellent with WebDrive. I highly recommend this product.

Nothing really. I have used this product without any issues.

With more of my clients wanting to store data in Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible stores, I needed a way to access the data without using the Console. I had TNTDrive installed, but I needed to upgrade and it does not work on a Mac. So, I tried many products and settled on WebDrive primarily for cost as well as ease of deployment on PCs and Mac.

The only challenge for me is that there are different connection paradigms on PC versus Mac. Adding a network drive versus mounting a volume. That's not really a complaint per se, rather a personal challenge of moving between platforms multiple times during the day.

I like that file transfer is easy and fast. It makes working with cloud and local files much easier. In addition, the fact that it offers a reliable service was one of the biggest factors in choosing this software. Security is always an issue when connecting, transmitting and accessing data on our servers, so it is a great choice for a reliable connection since we do not encounter such a problem in WebDrive. By mapping it to our WebDAV servers, it offers the convenience of being instantly connected at startup. Our credentials are encrypted and stored, making our connection effortless and secure.

The only thing I can criticize is the cost. I found the cost a little high.

Easy to use. Extremely powerful. Fills a niche very effectively. Cost is totally reasonable for the value of this software. Customer service was responsive and knowledgeable.

I find this product to have no obvious cons.

Easily access all of your online data without syncing everything to your computer. Automatically syncs files you use while you are online so you can use them when offline - great for a laptop.

Expensive. One license per computer even if same user. This negates the main benefit of having your data online unless you purchase multiple expensive licenses.

Thanks for your feedback on WebDrive. Most of our sales are to businesses, so the policy of one license per computer assures that companies pay for what they are using. For individual users, we are always happy to offer discounts on 1 or 2 additional licenses. If you are interested in additional licenses, please contact sales@southrivertech.com and we'll be happy to help. Thanks again for your feedback. Our team works really hard to offer the best products and support available.

I loved the ease of use I installed in a few minuets and stated accessing my WebDAV servers

The only downside is the price and could do with being a bit cheaper but great software.

- Featurerich (offline folders, want thumbnails of pictures yes/now, and much more) - Great Support - Better price than "the others" ;-)

There are many options i dont understand. Eventualy its my personal problem but i needed the (great) support at some points to understand the options.

Install and use in minutes. Quickly displays the files on the servers and shows hardly any transmission errors.

The extra price for maintenance/support.
