Deploy IDrive® 360 via Jamf Pro

Using the IDrive® 360 mass deployment package, remotely deploy the application on multiple Mac computers or groups via Jamf Pro.

Deploy IDrive® 360 package

Prerequisites for remote deployment:

  • Login and download the IDrive® 360 mass deployment package. Alternatively, click the ‘Copy Link’ button to copy the installation link.
  • Jamf Pro software

To deploy the IDrive® 360 package to Mac,

  1. Prepare the Customized IDrive® 360 deployable PKG

    The default IDrive360 folder must be packaged into a format that is deployable by Jamf Pro. This can be done using the Jamf Composer tool.

    Login and download the IDrive® 360 mass deployment package

  2. Steps to register a set of computers under a particular group or with a Private Key encryption method

    Admin may choose to register a set of computers under a particular group or with a Private Key encryption method during the mass deployment.

    The installation requires configuring a .plist file and installing it along with the IDrive® 360 mass deployment package.

    The com.idrive360.packageinstaller.plist file can contain the following keys:

    Key Value Description Default
    groupName String Machine registers under this particular group No group
    encryptionKey String Machine registers with this private encryption key No encryption key
    configurationID String You can find this parameter in your IDrive 360 account No configuration ID
    trayHidden Number 1 - Enabling this option will prevent users from accessing the tray options on their computers
    0 - Unhide tray and allow users to access tray options     0
    deviceTag String Machine registers under this tag No Tag
    • Click here to download a sample com.idrive360.packageinstaller.plist file.
    • Go to /tmp directory and create one folder called IDrive360, place “com.idrive360.packageinstaller.plist” and IDrive360 package(IDrive360_<token>.pkg) into it.
