March 5th, 2026, SynaMan Version 6.0 is released.

Featuring New SynaMan Drive, Elevating Data Privacy in Cloud File Access

Synametrics Technologies today announced the release of SynaMan Version 6.0 (Build 1660), introducing SynaMan Drive, a powerful new feature that enables users to access and manage files directly from Windows File Explorer while maintaining full data privacy.

SynaMan Drive provides functionality similar to popular virtual drive services such as Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox, but with a key difference: complete privacy and control over data. Instead of storing files on shared third-party cloud infrastructure, SynaMan stores files on a private server controlled entirely by the organization.

What is SynaMan Drive?

SynaMan Drive integrates directly with Microsoft Windows File Explorer, allowing users to access their remote files as if they were local files on their computer.

Once installed, users can:

• Browse remote folders directly from File Explorer
• Open and modify files using native desktop applications
• Upload new files simply by copying them into the SynaMan Drive folder
• Share files with users online or have them send large files to you using Public URLs.

Files are downloaded locally only when needed, and any changes are automatically synchronized back to the server in the background, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Key Benefits of SynaMan Drive

• Native Windows File Explorer Integration: Work with files as if they are stored locally.
• On-demand file downloads: Files are retrieved only when opened, saving local disk space.
• Automatic background uploads: Changes are synchronized automatically.
• Flexible folder access: Users can access either their personal home directory or shared folders, depending on administrative configuration.

A Private Alternative to Public Cloud Storage

Organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based file sharing services. However, these services often store data on infrastructure shared across many customers, which can raise concerns around data sovereignty, privacy, and long-term costs.

With SynaMan Drive, organizations maintain full control over their files because the data remains stored on their own private server.

In addition to the file contents themselves, cloud services may also collect metadata such as email addresses, names, and file-sharing relationships. SynaMan avoids this exposure by ensuring both files and associated metadata remain fully private.

Another challenge with many third-party services is the metered pricing model, where costs increase based on file storage size or data transfer volume. As an on-premise solution, SynaMan offers unlimited file transfers without usage-based pricing.

Additional Improvements in Version 6.0

SynaMan Version 6.0 also introduces several administrative enhancements designed to improve usability and system management:

• User Visibility in Shared Folders: Administrators can now easily view all users associated with a shared folder directly from the Shared Folder screen.
• Multi-Host SSL Certificate Creation: Administrators can generate SSL certificates supporting multiple hostnames.
