Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions which are not addressed here regarding MegaMap, or any of our products and services, please click here with your questions.

Q: What about network security?

A: Network security is handled by MegaMap. When MegaMap attempts to map a network drive, it uses the settings specified by you, the user. You may specify to use the default logon information for your current Windows networking session or you may use a different user name and password for that mapping. MegaMap stores this information into an encrypted database for your protection and privacy.

Q: What if a mapped drive already exists with the drive letter that MegaMap is attempting to map?

A: MegaMap has a 'map override' for each drive mapping. That is, if MegaMap detects that the drive letter is already mapped, then the user can configure this mapping to override any existing drive mappings with that drive letter to achieve proper mapping. If override mapping is not set, the drive will not be mapped and the existing map will remain.

Q: Can MegaMap work over a Wide-Area-Network as well as a local area network?

A: Yes. MegaMap can exist in any network environment so long as there is a remote resource to map to. MegaMap does't care where the resource is located, so long as the resource, connection and security are intact.

Q: How many mappings can MegaMap handle?

A: Considering that there are only 26 letters in the alphabet and drives are always mapped to a lettered-drive, you can only have a maximum of the number of drives that you do not have static to your system. That means, if you have a Drive A, Drive C and Drive D, you may may 23 drives (of course, that is 26-3=23). MegaMap has a unique approach to handling an ever greater number of mappings. this is by using mapped groups. With a mapped group, you can have an unlimited number of mappings in each group and select which group you wish to be active. You can even have startup groups and Dynagroups (Dynamic Drive Mapping - on the fly).
