Breaking news: TeamDrive is "Cool Vendor in Privacy" 2013

Good news from Germany. The cloud storage solution for enterprises TeamDrive has been named as a “Cool Vendor in Privacy” 2013 by Gartner. In particular, the growing use of tablets and smartphones lead to an increased demand for hybrid cloud services that are equally easy to use and have to provide the highest level of security. One reason why TeamDrive has won this year’s title.

About TeamDrive

Team Drive is a filesync and sharing solution for companies and organizations that do not want to risk that sensitive data is scattered with external cloud services and allows data or documents in the team synchronize. Therefore TeamDrive monitors any folder on a PC or laptop that you can use and edit them together with invited users. With that data is available at any time, also offline. The automatic synchronization, backup and versioning of documents protect users from data loss. With the possibility of TeamDrive to operate the registration and hosting server in the own data center, TeamDrive can be integrated into existing IT infrastructure. For this TeamDrive provides all the necessary APIs.
