| File Manager Software
Users need to access and manage cloud files using a program similar to Windows Explorer. Why do they have to sync their cloud storage to all computers? It wastes a lot of disk space on each computer, and it also wastes time and bandwidth. What if you don't have enough free storage space on your computer?
|
|
|
|
|
WebDAV Drive Mapping 
Accessing cloud storage just like a local drive, it is the most straight-forward way of accessing cloud files. It is easy for anybody in your organization. There is literally no change, it's even easier than Dropbox. |

|
| Scheduled Sync
Real-time folder sync can be very inefficient if you keep changing a large file,
and the file is sync-ed again and again. Many Internet connections (such as ADSL and Cable Modem) have a much slower
upload bandwidth than download bandwidth. Sync-ing a large file will slow down your Internet connection significantly.
That's why you need scheduled sync. Many users asked for this feature.
|
|
|
|
|
| Multiple Sync Tasks with Different Schedules
Users may need to sync one folder in real-time, and another folder at night time. If files are being changed frequently, sync-ing in real-time can be very inefficient. |
|
|
|
|
| Advanced Folder Sync Features
Select any folder on a PC and synchronize it to a folder in the cloud;
synchronize Open/locked files; Sync Network Drives / External Drives / Servers;
exclude certain files/folders from being Sync-ed

| Online Backup Software
Online Backup and Folder Sync are very different. Online Backup truly protects your data. A modern backup program should support real-time and scheduled backup. It can run as a service process backing up your computer even if nobody is logged on.
Due to Dropbox's popularity, many users have used folder sync for online backup. However, it is not as safe as online backup, and it lacks the advanced backup features. If you delete a file from a sync-ed folder, it will delete the file in all folders sync-ed to it. |

| Email Manager Software
DriveHQ has a backup program that is designed to backup Outlook emails. It can backup emails one by one without backing up the entire PST file. This way, it can incrementally backup your emails, and you can drag and drop restore your emails |

| File Hosting for Large Files or Large Volumes
Most cloud storage services limit the maximum number of downloads for a published file, or it limits the maximum file size. Therefore, they cannot be used for hosting large files or large download volumes. |
|
|
|
|
| True Drop Box Folder
Like a real drop box in the post office, it allows anybody to upload files to you securely without the hassle of signup or logon. It is totally different from Dropbox.com service. In fact, Dropbox.com appears to be a misnomer - a more precise name would be "Syncbox". |

|
| Security and Privacy |
| Client-side Data Encryption
Encrypt data on your own computer using your own encryption key before transferring the data to the cloud. The cloud server and other users cannot decrypt your files without your encryption key. For ultimate security and privacy, this feature is a must. Server-side encryption is not secure because the cloud server has access to the unencrypted version of your files. It can also decrypt your files on demand. |

On DriveHQ.com, a contact group is a list of contacts (i.e. a "folder" in an address book). A contact group is used as a mailing list on DriveHQ email service. It is also used as a permission group in file sharing. If a folder is shared to a contact group, then all users in the contact group can access the shared folder. |
