- Aug. 13, 2012 - DriveHQ Launches Enterprise WebDAV Drive Mapping Solution
WebDAV drive mapping is the easiest way of accessing cloud-based storage. DriveHQ has offered regular WebDAV service for many years as part of our Cloud IT service.
However, any regular WebDAV drive is inherently not robust over the Internet. This cannot be fixed because it uses Windows Explorer as the client software.
Our new Enterprise WebDAV Solution is better than any other regular WebDAV solutions based on Apache, IIS or Share Point Server. It is designed
for businesses to migrate their in-house file servers and share point servers to our cloud service. Enterprise WebDAV Solution is available to paid members only.

service than traditional CCTV security systems at a much lower cost.

- Oct. 2, 2011 - DriveHQ Launches New Mobile Applications for iOS and Android
DriveHQ has supported iOS, Android and other mobile platforms for several years. Users can use DriveHQ.com, m.drivehq.com, FTP or WebDAV
to access DriveHQ cloud services. Now we have launched DriveHQ File Manager mobile applications for iOS and Android. The new software
greatly improves our user experience on those platforms. It is not only better than FTP and WebDAV software, but also better than other
cloud storage applications. DriveHQ File Manager is free. You can download it from Apple's App Store or Google's App Market.
- Drop box - anybody can easily upload files to you without having to sign up or log on.
DriveHQ had the most powerful sharing feature. You could share different folders to different users with different permissions.
With the new Drop Box Folder feature, it is even more powerful: Anybody can upload files to you without having to sign up or log on.
Files uploaded to a drop box can only be accessed by you.
DriveHQ's Drop Box Folder feature is very different from other drop box services. Not only it is extremely easy, but also it is
designed to meet the most demanding business requirements, e.g.: thousands of users can upload files to your drop box; uploaded
files are grouped into sub-folders along with uploader name and other information; automatic file-upload notification;
multiple drop boxes for different groups of users, etc.

and DriveHQ Online Backup for Mac. You can download DriveHQ software for MAC from our software download page.
- Offsite FTP storage for surveillance cameras / security cameras / web cameras
Many businesses and homes have surveillance cameras / security cameras. Such cameras usually save recorded images / videos to a local tape or disk.
If the tape or disk is destroyed by an intruder, then you lose all the evidences. Many people have realized the problem. We had thousands of
customers using DriveHQ FTP service for their security cameras' offsite storage. Because a security camera can automatically upload images to DriveHQ FTP server every
few seconds, it creates 100 times more load than a real person. In the past, our service is not friendly to security camera users. With our latest
release of Camera FTP service, we have dramatically improved our FTP service performance for cameras. Users can also automatically
delete files older than certain days.
- New white label or co-branded reseller service platform
Cloud computing is hot, the competition is also fierce. Instead of creating your own service, which could easily take years of time
and cost millions of dollars, you can "acquire" all DriveHQ technologies, products, customer support and datacenter facility
for only a few hundred dollars per year! You can re-brand the service as your own service. With the revenue-sharing model,
there is almost zero chance of losing money, and your profit margin can be much higher than if you launch your own service. For
