Bdrive is a great technology for free personal cloud as well as for small business solution with it’s simple and easy to configure application. Bdrive’s working mechanism is similar to usual server-client connection while the only difference is you can use your own PC as server and then use any PC or Smartphone as client. All you need to do is fix some memory in your local storage and then connect it using Bdrive Server application. You can then connect as many clients as need and everything will work if your Server is connected. Bdrive Server uses specified Network Adaptor instead of server IP address and don’t need any types of script for server administration. Now let’s get on how to make it work.

First of all, you need to create a server. To do so, we will need a Windows or Mac OSX PC with working Internet connection. Download the Bdrive server application and then install – run it. During the first time usage, you will be asked for your email address and select Network Adapter.

Then you will be taken to the server app homemenu – a 5 tabbed simple application. Tabs are called – Folders, Network, Options, Subtitles and About. From the Folders tab, you can add any folder as Bdrive local storage (Uploaded files will be stored there). You can assign a password or leave blank to make the folder accessible only by using BID value. Then you can customize permission and make it either Read/Writeable (Client can both download and upload files there) or only Readable (Client cannot be able to upload files there, only download possible) and then click on Restart from the window. Once the Server process restarted, your personal cloud server is ready to go.
