TeamDrive is a software manufacturer and an online service of the same name for secure collaboration and data exchange. TeamDrive provides privacy protection during file hosting and offers online data backup. Data synchronization between desktop computers, mobile devices (smartphones and tablet computers) has been supported since TeamDrive 3.
The TeamDrive service is based on a secure distributed synchronization infrastructure. The design of the TeamDrive infrastructure allows the various components of the system to run for example in the cloud, in a corporate datacenter or embedded in a device, and still guarantee security for the transported data.
History
[edit]TeamDrive Systems GmbH was founded in 2005 as “PrimeSharing Deutschland GmbH” (PrimeSharing Germany Ltd.) by the software development company “SNAP Innovation GmbH” (SNAP Innovation Ltd.) in Hamburg, Germany. The first TeamDrive Sync product was released in 2008.[1] The technology is based on the synchronization of distributed databases via end-to-end encrypted cloud storage. The concept was developed in 2006 by the developer Paul McCullagh, who now works as CTO and co-founder at TeamDrive. Paul McCullagh had previously developed the transactional database Enginge PBXT for MySQL.[2][3] This was licensed by SUN Microsystems and later Oracle.
The product “TeamDrive 1.x” was only available for Windows operating systems. The current version, TeamDrive 5, supports Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, as well as Android and iOS operating systems. On the server side, the encrypted data is hosted in the public cloud and in Europe the data is stored in IONOS SE data centers.[4]
Technology
[edit]TeamDrive uses a server-supported peer-to-peer-like communication structure to automatically transfer data between devices of one or more users and keep them synchronized. By using full end-to-end encryption (256-bit AES) with current encryption algorithms, it is practically impossible to read data in transit or on the servers.[5]
The TeamDrive software client is the main component for synchronization. The app, which is installed on end devices, monitors selected folders in the local file system and transfers new/changed content to the devices of personally invited team members. New files and documents, as well as changed documents are thus available to other team members on their computers. The TeamDrive app is available for all major operating systems. Synchronized storage directories for a TeamDrive account are called Spaces and each account can have an unlimited number of Spaces. Each Space, and its metadata, is encrypted locally (for both mobile and desktop clients) and individually. The keys are then stored encrypted on the user's computer. TeamDrive's software allows for the exporting and importing of keys which is only possible after the client program authenticates the login. TeamDrive uses various mediation servers to ensure communication between clients (especially across time zones and firewalls). It is also possible to use personal or existing WebDAV servers as mediation servers.[6] Alternatively, services offered by commercial hosting partners can be used.

Usage
[edit]A software app is required to use TeamDrive. It is available for free on the TeamDrive website. TeamDrive is free for non-commercial use and provides 2GB of cloud storage. Further 250 MB can be redeemed for each referral of a new user for up to a maximum of 10 GB.[7] An unlimited number of free guest licenses are available to business customers, each limited to one “Space”.
The Windows app is also available as a portable version, which can be launched from an external drive on a Windows PC, leaving no traces on the hard disk.
Without having to install the TeamDrive app on a local device, the TeamDrive Web App can be used instead via a web browser.
TeamDrive is in compliance with the GDPR, HIPAA, TISAX, ITAR and CCPA.[8]
