GoDrive

The GoDrive module in GoAnywhere is an on-premises Enterprise File Sharing & Synchronization (EFSS) service. All of your images, documents, videos, and sensitive files are stored on the GoAnywhere server which your organization controls. Anything you add to GoDrive will automatically synchronize through the server and appear in each of your connected devices, as well as the Web Client, allowing you to access your files from any internet connected PC. Using GoDrive, you can securely share files and collaborate with other team members or trading partners.

You can upload files by dragging and dropping them from your local desktop directly on to the GoDrive page. Once a file is uploaded to the service, GoDrive keeps track of each file revision, allowing you to restore a prior version of a file. You can temporarily lock your shared files to prevent users from making changes or deleting them. Comments can be added to files and folders to communicate to others or leave reminders for yourself. Files and folders that are deleted can be restored from the trash bin.

The GoDrive Menu option is available if your account is authorized to use this feature. From the GoDrive toolbar you can upload files, manage folders, use the media viewer to view image files and documents, view thumbnail previews of images, or search for files and folders.
