CloudBerry Drive Maps Cloud Storage as Network Drive

CloudBerry Drive Maps Cloud Storage as Network Drive

With CloudBerry Drive, you can include and utilize cloud storage easily. A user opines that “CloudBerry Drive is an application that integrates cloud services with Windows Explorer, and it enables you to interact with cloud files as you would with files on your computer.” In other words, you cannot tell them apart from a local disk drive.

Map Amazon S3 as network drive

CloudBerry Drive makes Amazon S3 buckets seem like local or network drives on Windows. Browse Amazon S3, upload, and download S3 files in Windows explorer as if they were on your disk. Full S3 access with no extra tools – just point your applications to the mapped drive letter.

Map MS Azure Blob storage as network drive

Your Azure files are accessible in Windows just like a normal drive letter, so you interact with it via File Explorer and your typical Windows utilities. The browsing experience is just like it was with local storage: drag and drop to upload files, right click context menus, even sharing files all function on your Azure data.

Map Google Cloud Storage as network drive

CloudBerry Drive also maps local drives to buckets when using Google Cloud Storage. Once you're connected, open Windows File Explorer and view your Google Cloud files the same way you would on your computer. Add, modify or delete GCS objects from any windows application, and your cloud storage will always be up-to-date.

Map Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage as network drive

CloudBerry Drive also supports Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage (an S3-compatible service). Once you have a Wasabi bucket, it acts like any other local disk on your PC. Now, any software can access Wasabi’s fast and inexpensive object storage through a mapped drive letter. (CloudBerry Drive supports any S3-compatible storage, so third-party or on-premise systems can be mounted just as simply.)

Map Backblaze B2 as network drive

With the support of its S3-compatible API, B2 Cloud storage is possible to be linked with. In practice, you add B2 as an “S3 Compatible” storage account in CloudBerry Drive (specify the B2 S3 endpoint and your credentials), and then map the bucket. The payoff: You can access B2-hosted files from Windows via the Drive’s file mapping.

CloudBerry Drive Features and Benefits

CloudBerry Drive comes with a feature packed toolkit ensuring your cloud storage is just as easy to use and easily accessed locally than it is in the cloud.

Mount Cloud as Network Drives

CloudBerry Drive installs a virtual disk driver, so your cloud storage will appear as a local drive on Windows. Any supported cloud account can be made a local drive with just a couple clicks.

Drag-and-Drop Transfers

Once mounted, your cloud storage appears as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer. You can simply drag and drop files to upload them to the cloud, or copy files out of the mapped drive to download them back to your local computer — no additional dialogs required.

Third-Party App Integration

Any application that works with files can also work with your cloud data. CloudBerry Drive provides seamless access to cloud storage through your desktop applications — from email clients to office software — or simply via drag-and-drop. For example, you can configure your backup software to use the mapped drive letter, sending backups directly into your S3 or Azure account.

Command-Line Automation

Drive even has a native CLI for power users. You can write scripts to map drives, perform automated tasks and integrate with deployment software. This would be great for batch-type operation, or for automatically provisioning cloud drives on many machines.

Data Encryption & Security

On the client side, all data written to the cloud can be encrypted with 256-bit AES. Your files are safe as soon as you press go. CloudBerry Drive also works with secure protocols to protect data in transit. You can encrypt files at upload time.

FTP/SFTP Support

In addition to regular object storage, CloudBerry Drive can map FTP and SFTP servers as local drives. This allows you to interact with files on older servers or appliances in the same way that cloud storage works, drag and drop straight through the Explorer.

HTTP Headers & Caching Controls

Finally, advanced settings enable you to specify your own HTTP headers per upload, and manage local caching. Configure the number of threads to use for queued transfers (OUTBOUND queue threads): To speed up uploads or downloads. When accelerating a transfer, you can set how many parallel threads will be used for the acceleration process (upload thread count). Combined, these characteristics offer you finely-grained authority over performance and behavior.

Multi-User Office Locking (Server Edition)

Office files are protected in multi-user environments. If one user is editing a Word or Excel file in the mapped drive, CloudBerry Drive locks the file so that others can only open it in read-only mode until the first user finishes. This prevents conflicting edits when the drive is shared.

Optimization for Windows Explorer

Drive actively performs index and thumbnail optimization so that browsing cloud files is a breeze in Windows Explorer. For instance, it locally caches ubiquitous metadata to cut down on browsing time.

Mapped Network Drive

Unified Cloud Access with Mapped Drive

Consolidated File Management

Consolidated File Management

Manage all cloud accounts the same way. You would be able to mount an S3 bucket for backups, an Azure storage for media and a Google Cloud folder for documents all accessible under Explorer at the same time.
Remote Team Collaboration

Remote Team Collaboration

Map cloud drives as a network drive for remote work that won't go back to the office file servers. With the Server edition, team members can connect to shared cloud folders on Windows Servers, or use Office document locking to collaborate on cloud files with greater confidence.
Cloud-First Work-Flows

Cloud-First Work-Flows

Developers, data analysts and media team members often generate large quantities of data. Drive enables them to manage large files by treating the cloud as if it were additional local disk, in turn bypassing local storage limitations.
Backup/Restore

Backup/Restore

If you have cloud backup of your data, Drive is able to handle it as a mounted filesystem so that you can access and restore single files from there.

CloudBerry Drive in Review

“Product is very useful and used daily! No better way to utilize your files stored in Amazon S3 Buckets than to have them show up as another drive on your computer in explorer view.”
AWS verified

“I needed a quick and reliable way to just mount S3 buckets to Workspaces in order to move fairly large files (10gb) reliably. Cloudberry was suggested and minutes later it was done. My clients don't have to worry about the connections as it's just a mounted drive but it takes advantage of the full S3 model where I can version and move large objects to cheaper storage as I see fit.”
