GeoDrive provides fast and transparent access to ECS. It does not require complicated shares, mount points, or API development. Because GeoDrive presents an ECS bucket as a local drive in Windows, users and applications can store content such as photos, music, videos, documents, and email attachments in the cloud using existing applications written for Windows, with no additional IT or infrastructure cost. The software is provided with no charge for all licensed ECS and Atmos customers. It is simple to install, configure, and use. Files are maintained in Windows in a local disk cache and pushed to the cloud either asynchronously or synchronously by GeoDrive.
