Resolve issues faster by collaborating with our Support

WorkDrive has introduced a "Share to Support" feature that allows you to share your files or folders with our expert Support staff to help analyze, or debug any issues you have. No worries about the security of your files— you get to see all the access stats, commenting and downloading are restricted by default, and the access will be automatically removed after 7 days.
