What's New in the Driveway

Web Folders: the fastest route from your Desktop to Driveway!

Thanks to our partnership with Microsoft, your Driveway account offers you a new time-saving feature called Web Folders. Web Folders make it faster and easier to access and save files to Driveway.

By taking just a moment to set up a Web Folder for your Driveway account, you'll be able to save files from Microsoft Office applications directly to your Driveway account. You'll also be able to drag-and-drop files between your Driveway account and your Desktop.

Be sure to check out more information about Web Folders.

To Set Up Web Folders, Log On to your account now.

What's in your Driveway?

See what our members think about the Driveway service and how they use their Driveway accounts.

Allen Kemp, Multimedia & Web Programmer, Rebel Forces
"I use Driveway as a convenient way to exchange large files. I also use Driveway to store utilities that I have collected, all conveniently in one place for when a colleague, a customer or I need them."

Lord Insidious, Super Villain (featured in our TV commercials)
So, what does a super villain put in his Driveway? A world Domination PowerPoint presentation, a Memo, and plans to his Hypnotron are just a few of the important files that Lord Insidious keeps in his account. Don't forget to see what he stores in his Driveway account.

Lord Insidious is only one of the characters from our TV commercials. There's also Svaakhammer, Eastern Europe's answer to Hanson and Jeff Talbot, the long-suffering Werewolf. Don't forget to find out what they keep in their Driveway accounts.

Driveway Tip of the Month

Easy and Efficient File Sharing

Does your out-of-town boss need to access your 50-page PowerPoint presentation? Is your mother asking for the latest pictures of her grandchildren? Do your friends want to access your recipes you've been raving about?

Sharing files is efficient and easy with a Driveway account. With Driveway's file-sharing feature, you don't have to worry about large e-mail attachments that tie up your server. Simply store your critical files in your Driveway space, and colleagues, family, friends--anyone YOU choose--can view them online and download them at their convenience.

How can I share my files?

You can share any folder in your Driveway account by clicking on the sharing icon (it looks like a padlock) next to the folder name. When you share a folder, its contents are made visible to the list of e-mail addresses you supply on the sharing control screen. The people you share with will receive an e-mail invitation to access the folder, but they will not be able to delete, change, or upload files to your account. For additional security, you may also password-protect your folder.
