ExpanDrive

We can pre-populate the email address with a login hint. Can't be too hard to get the user's email address if it exists on your system in a well-known place. If you're interested in working with us to make this happen please get in touch and we'll get it done. A little hard for us to do it entirely on our own since it's somewhat environment specific.

Yup, we do customized builds to add/remove functionality like this all the time for various customers.

If you want to ping our support I'd be happy to see if we can figure out how to get it done. I don't think a user actually needs to authenticate, but the last time we looked into this deeply I think they need to type in their email address and hit next. After that everything is done for them. If you're interested we could see if we can figure out a way to work around this @FN-GM or @Arthur - obviously something we'd like to make seamless. - - - Updated - - - I don't think a user actually needs to authenticate, but I think they need to identify themselves to the Google OAuth flow at their very first use. Happy to work with you on this to see if we can get around that step.

Schools generally get some kind of site license to cover N users, and it doesn't really matter regarding turnover year to year. It's an on-your-honor system so there isn't any aggressive tracking or anything like that.

The user needs to authenticate with Google/Box/etc the first time they connect with ExpanDrive even with SAML SSO. But after that, the SSO will be good enough to log them in going forward, even on other machines.

ExpanDrive can be deployed so that any user on a machine is licensed automatically if that's what your after.

There isn't a way to avoid the first authentication with Google inside ExpanDrive, but after that ExpanDrive can keep the API key around [in a variety of ways] so if the kids switch machines they don't need to re-authenticate as long as they are logged into the domain. - - - Updated - - - Curious what wasn't suitable for an educational environment? Would love to fill in any gaps.
