Web Management Console

Paying customers receive access to our Web Management Console, which allows you to manage, configure, and deploy a shared configuration for ExpanDrive to large teams and groups of users.

To sign in to the Web Management Console, click Sign In on our homepage.

Configurations

In the Web Management Console, a configuration is a pre-configured set of favorites and options for deployment to a group of users. Each configuration has a unique license key that retrieves the defined favorites and settings when activated. If this license key is entered during installation so, ExpanDrive will be fully configured as soon as installation is complete.

Each configuration contains a set of drives, app settings, and license settings. Create, update, and publish your configurations within the Web management Console. Devices that are already activated using the configuration's license key receive the new published configuration automatically.

Drive Settings

Drive settings are defined just like connections within the client program, using the connection parameters of each connection type.

When adding a drive to a configuration, you can enable the Defer Authentication option to mount a drive even if the user has not authenticated with that storage service. When the user interacts with the drive, they are prompted to authenticate. This is often helpful with services that use OAuth authentication, such as SharePoint.

App Settings

Use the App settings for a configuration to manage application-level options for the end user.

OneDrive and Sharepoint configurations support a special option that attempts single sign-on, where available. To enable SSO, add the domain of the end user's sign-on email address in the Domain hint.

License Settings

2 global license settings control what the user(s) associated with the configuration can change. Enabling Managed connections prevents a user from adding or removing drives. Enabling Managed settings prevents a user from changing any of the settings you have pre-configured.

Users

The Users list lets you monitor which users are active, when they last used the connection, and which configuration they are assigned.

You can manually create users based on their email address, or they will automatically be added to your users list when they activate a configuration key (license key).

You can always change the configuration a user has assigned, or remove a user altogether.

You can optionally change the configuration a user has assigned, if they move from one team to another, for instance.
