All the benefits of cloud storage, none of the drawbacks

The same drive experience

Your S: and T: drives stay put, so shortcuts, document links and habits keep working.

Works with legacy apps

Older desktop applications that cannot see OneDrive sync folders work normally with mapped drives.

Desktop and VDI

Windows 11 desktops, plus Windows Server 2016 and later virtual desktops on Azure Virtual Desktop, Citrix, VMware and RDS.

IT friendly

Configured from an online portal and deployed with Intune, SCCM, NinjaOne, PatchMyPC or the command line. We handle the set-up for you.

Why not just use the OneDrive app?

OneDrive sync works for one person's files. It struggles as the company fileshare.

OneDrive sync client

  • Tops out at around 300,000 items, which a company fileshare can pass quickly.
  • Copies files down to every computer, using disk space and causing sync conflicts.
  • Can be slow to show changes other people have made.
  • Many desktop apps can't save into sync folders properly, and drive letters, shortcuts and links break.

Cloud Drive Mapper

  • No item limits, so SharePoint Online can be your whole company fileshare.
  • Direct access with nothing synced, so files open straight from Microsoft 365.
  • Changes show up in real time or close to it.
  • Real network drive letters that nearly every desktop app can use, so shortcuts and links keep working.

Ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot

Copilot can only work with files it can see, and that means files in SharePoint.

Cloud Drive Mapper lets you move everything off the old server and into SharePoint without asking staff to change how they work. Your files become available to Copilot, and people keep opening them from the same S: drive as before.

Cloud Drive Mapper questions

Do we need Microsoft 365?

Yes. Cloud Drive Mapper maps drives to OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams, so your files need to be in Microsoft 365.

How is it different from the OneDrive app?

OneDrive syncs copies of files to each computer. Cloud Drive Mapper gives direct access without syncing, and keeps the drive letters your staff and older applications expect.

Does it work on Macs?

No. Cloud Drive Mapper is for Windows 11 computers and Windows Server 2016 or later virtual desktops, including Azure Virtual Desktop, Citrix, VMware and RDS.

How long is the free trial?

IAMCLOUD offers a 30-day free trial. We can help you set it up on a few computers so you can see how it works before rolling it out.

Will it help with Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Yes. Copilot works with files in SharePoint, and Cloud Drive Mapper lets you move your file server there while staff keep using the same drive letters.

We are an IT provider. Can you help us supply it?

Yes. We help other IT providers and MSPs plan, deploy, migrate and troubleshoot Cloud Drive Mapper for their clients. If you are not an IAMCLOUD partner yet, joining is free through their partner programme at iamcloud.com/partnerships.

Is it secure?

Files stay in your own Microsoft 365 tenant with your existing permissions. IAMCLOUD has held ISO 27001 certification since 2016 and is audited every year.

Can we try it first?

Yes. Start a 30-day free trial on IAMCLOUD's website using the link on this page. Australian trials are automatically assigned to us as your local partner. We can set it up on a few computers so you can see how it works.
