Kenesto Announces Drive Program

Kenesto, a provider of engineering data management and lifecycle collaboration platforms, has revealed the Kenesto Drive. This platform is designed for small to midsized businesses to effectively store, share, edit and version their data on desktops, desktop applications and file explorers, the company states.

Kenesto Drive offers features similar to an in-house network drive, with features such as automatic file versioning, file vaulting, automated back-up, personal file ownership, multi-CAD assembly  support, offline file access and project file organization.

"We’ve tried a variety of basic alternatives for file management and sharing, hoping to find something less risky and easier to use. Some of these alternatives have included Dropbox, Box, OneDrive and others. However, with each one we’ve given up in frustration.” said David Temple, director of Marketing and Communications at Nextremity Solutions, Inc. “None are ideal from accessibility, version management, project organization and collaboration standpoints; and none help to further reduce risk of files being overwritten in a collaborative engineering environment. Not to mention, none of them support or understand native engineering and CAD files well enough to be viable options for engineering. Kenesto Drive, on the other hand, is the perfect solution to replace the use of a network drive.”

Kenesto Drive will be available in mid-March.
