Web-Based Access to Your Files From Anywhere
The drive experience your users expect, from any device, with nothing to install. No per-user subscription fee.
BrickStor Web Drive gives users browser-based access to their files from anywhere, while the data stays on storage you own, in a facility you control, with security enforced where the data actually lives.

Download PDFCloud file storage got expensive. Control got worse.
Google Drive, OneDrive, and Box taught everyone what file access should feel like. Open a browser, find your files, send a link. What came with it was a bill that grows every year, data held in someone else's infrastructure, and access controls that stop once a user is logged in.
Universities, research institutions, and regulated businesses are reaching the same conclusion: they want the experience without the trade-offs. BrickStor Web Drive delivers both.
Familiar to your users. Accountable to your auditors. Running on infrastructure you own.
What your users get
- Opening a browser is the install. Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. No agent, no VPN client, no helpdesk ticket.
- The actions they already expect. Browse, preview, upload, download, rename, and share, all governed by policy.
- Sharing outside the organization. Partners, contractors, and sponsors get access that expires on its own. They open a link in a browser, with nothing to install.
- Whatever device is in hand. Phones, tablets, and personal laptops reach data through a controlled surface, not an exception to policy.
What your organization keeps
- Custody of your own data. On your hardware, in your facility, under your jurisdiction. No provider holding your files.
- A cost model that does not scale with headcount. Capacity you own, not a per-seat subscription that resets higher every renewal.
- Visibility into what people actually do. Every action is recorded to an immutable audit trail and analyzed for behavior. Ransomware and data theft are stopped in real time, including by accounts that logged in successfully.
- One copy of the truth. The same files, policies, and audit trail whether reached from a browser or by the applications that already use the data.
Same experience. Different ownership model.
