History and use

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.

A Mac edition was introduced in September 2009[9] and mobile editions for the iOS and Android were introduced in November 2013 and March 2014 respectively.[10]

Through at least 2002 Novell rebranded an earlier version of WebDrive as NetDrive and also added iFolder transfer support to its rebranded edition.[11]
