Key Features and Benefits
Secure File Sync and Sharing
Businesses can safely manage, organise and share any type of business document or digital content in real-time, either internally or externally from any device, anywhere.
A File Server Experience in the Cloud
Although Workplace lives in the cloud, users simply see an F: drive. This drive is easily accessible from mobile device via an iOS or Android app or a sophisticated web interface. Without having to worry about individual sites or teams, files are at users’ fingertips, simply where they expect them to be.
Easy and Secure Remote Access to Files
All files are easily accessed on any device, from anywhere, without the need for virtual private networks (VPN).
No Disk Space issues
Workplace provides access to all files at all times, but uses minimal personal computer (PC) memory. Users may optionally cache files that they would like to keep local or use offline for instances when they don’t have access to the Internet.
File and Data Protection
Workplace was designed with security in mind. Native ransomware detection and automated remediation are unique to Workplace. Combined with file-based virus protection and six months of file versioning, Workplace delivers peace of mind to both Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers.
Workplace Hybrid Deployment for Local Servers
Many customers wish to keep their local file servers or connect multiple file servers from different locations. Workplace Server edition allows the syncing of data directly into a network file server at the office while providing real time access to these files in the same way, regardless of which location users are working in.

Built for MSPs
Workplace is managed through a single reseller portal. The portal allows you to manage the customers licences, permissions, files, agents and configuration from the one place.
Workplace can be a branded service from MSPs or branded for the end customers’ business. Workplace is not priced for retail, or available direct to the end users. This provides the opportunity for MSPs to manage pricing and services based on customer’s requirements.
Workplace user billing is automatically integrated with either Datto Remote Monitoring and Management and ConnectWise Professional Services Automation (PSA) software.
