DriveHQ Web for Mobile Devices


Accessing DriveHQ cloud IT service from Smart Phones and Tablets without installing any software

DriveHQ Cloud IT service is available to almost all smart phones and tablets. There are a few different ways to access our service from these mobile devices:
- Using a web browser;
- Using FTP client software;
- Using WebDAV client software;
- Using email client software.

This document shows how to access our service using a web browser. It also shows how you can add a short-cut icon on your device's home screen.

Accessing DriveHQ service using mobile web browsers

If you use smart phones like iPhone, Android or Windows Phone, then you can simply visit drivehq.com website. It provides almost all features that are available to PC users. The screenshots below show how it works in iPhone. (How it works in iPad is very similar to iPhone).

Open the web browser, type in the address:

       drivehq.com

it displays DriveHQ.com home page (Picture 1). Enter your username and password and then click on Logon. It goes to drivehq.com “My Storage” page where you can see a list of files and folders. You can view image files and text files, download or manage files, share different folders to different users with different permissions. You can also access the Group Administration page and create / manage sub-users.

Please note web browsers for iPhone / iPad do not support file uploading. (This is not a DriveHQ issue). To upload files, you must use FTP or WebDAV, which will be described later.

Browsers on Android and WP support file uploading. So you can upload files using browser, FTP, and WebDAV.
