Syncing your files with Remote Drive

Remote Drive offers a seamless experience for accessing your ASUS WebStorage files as if they were stored locally on your computer, with easy access through "File Explorer.

The difference between Remote Drive and ASUS WebStorage Sync lies in their file storage methods, as Remote Drive uses virtual drives to store files without consuming any space on your computer's hard drive.
