1.4 Novell NetDrive

Novell NetDrive is a client software package that users can install on their Windows workstations. NetDrive allows a user to map a network drive to an iFolder server, using the iFolder protocol instead of the Novell Clientâ„¢ or the iFolder client.

One advantage of NetDrive is that it allows a user to be logged in to multiple iFolder accounts from the same workstation and at the same time. NetDrive also synchronizes the iFolder data a user works with between a temporary local iFolder directory and the iFolder server while the user works with select files. When the user logs out of NetDrive, NetDrive completes the uploads in progress, if any, then deletes and purges the temporary local iFolder directory and all of the files in it. With NetDrive, the user does not need to manually upload and download files or delete files from the local workstation as is required with a Web browser-based interface.

For more information on how to install and use NetDrive on a user workstation, see the NetDrive documentation, located in the Novell NetDrive 4.1 User Guide.
