About the Local StratusDrive

The local drive is not required for all project collaborators. Project Members with StratusDrive permissions will be able to access the StratusDrive section of the Document Module to view, download, and even upload files to StratusDrive from the integrated StratusVue website project. Some of the additional features available in the local version of StratusDrive that aren't available via the website or mobile app include:

1. Drag and Drop

2. Automatic Versioning of Files

3. Locking and Checking out Files

4. Drawing Hyperlinking (StratusLink subscription required)


Before installing the drive, please ensure that Required Anti-Virus Scanning Exclusions for StratusDrive have been reviewed with your IT Department.
