CDM overview

CDM is a desktop application that integrates cloud storage from OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint Online into Windows PCs and Windows Server-based VDI and virtual app environments, including Citrix & Azure Virtual Desktop.

CDM purpose

  • CDM maps drive letters to cloud storage, creating local paths that are useful in various scenarios.

  • CDM maintains continuity for your users, desktop applications, productivity workflows, and inter-document links while allowing your organization to move documents to the cloud and reap the full benefits of Microsoft 365.

CDM evolution

Over time, CDM’s capability, feature set, and popularity have grown significantly. Following a complete ground-up redesign and general availability in 2025, CDM is now more than a simple drive mapping utility.

CDM's position in Enterprise IT environments

In the IT world, CDM stands practically alone as an enterprise cloud storage integration and management platform. A platform that gives organizations unparalleled control over how cloud storage works and behaves in their IT environments.
