The software runs on Windows and macOS platforms and, depending on the license, provides either CTERA Drive Share or both CTERA Drive Share and CTERA Drive Protect:- CTERA Drive Share enables you to sync files to the CTERA Portal global file system in the cloud to provide enterprise file sync and share (EFSS), enabling you to sync to selected folders and their files on your portal Cloud Drive and share those files.
