What is the difference between Drive and ADRIVE?
Drive is network storage. ADRIVE is an aggregation and mapping client for several cloud and NAS sources.
Do I need to purchase other SOFBAC modules?
No. SOFBAC modules are selected individually. Add other services only when your workflows call for them.
Does EU hosting alone guarantee GDPR compliance?
No. Hosting location matters, but contracts, permissions, legal basis and processors must also be evaluated.
How do I get started?
Review the service scope and requirements, then check the current availability and setup in CORE.
A real-world example
After a photo shoot, a photographer puts images into a project folder and prepares a selection for client review. Workspace supports team collaboration and folder access, Drive provides network file storage and Backup Folder protects selected working directories. Only the intended files are shared with the client, rather than exposing the entire archive. Everyday collaboration is deliberately kept separate from disaster recovery copies.
Industry example: Accounting and tax firms
Much of the cost of invoice handling occurs before bookkeeping: finding attachments, checking structured invoice formats and assigning each document to the right client.
Consider an accounting firm looking after thirty businesses. Each client needs separate files and access rights. A member of staff selects the appropriate client, validates a received e-invoice and prepares the next handoff. Standalone Invoice Validation addresses the checking stage without replacing existing billing software. Full Invoice combines invoice issuance and handling with validation. Kanzlei is the multi-client offering, with permissions, export functions and integrations to be verified before general sale. SOFBAC Kanzlei / Invoice Office exports conventional CSV files prepared to DATEV import standards for regular import. It does not claim direct DATEV API synchronisation.
SOFBAC does not claim to replace DATEV or integrate automatically with every accounting tool. Its proposed advantage is a modular, transparent starting point alongside established workflows.
