WebDrive is a drive mapping utility that supports accessing remote file servers using open FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV protocols,[2] and proprietary or vendor-specific protocols.

It can be run as a Windows service and supports automatic mounting on system startup.

Though associated with traditional FTP protocols, WebDrive has had a long history of being considered a unique type of FTP client because it made remote folders look like part of the native operating system's file manager rather than display a "two pane" view (a.k.a.

an "orthodox file manager") used by most FTP clients.

[3][4] As of 2014, its publisher claimed over 5 million installations[5] and it remains a popular utility on college campuses[6][7][8] and similar organizations with "casual" file transfer needs.
