EldoS

What EldoS does

Callback Technologies, Inc. (operating as EldoS) is a privately held developer-tools company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with 11-50 employees. The company sells SDK components that bring kernel-mode filesystem and network driver capabilities to applications through clean user-mode APIs, eliminating the need for customer engineering teams to write, certify, and maintain their own kernel-mode drivers. Its product suite spans the CBFS line (Connect for virtual filesystems, Cloud for cloud-storage mounting, Filter for filesystem interception, Encrypt for transparent file encryption, Sync for bidirectional file synchronization, Vault for embedded encrypted containers, and Shell for Windows File Explorer extensions), plus the PCAP Filter for cross-platform network packet capture, and a family of standalone Callback Drive applications for S3, Azure, SFTP, WebDAV, and NFS.

The technical architecture pairs professionally developed, signed kernel-mode drivers (validated against Microsoft's filesystem test suites) with an event-driven user-mode API available in .NET, C++, Java, Python, Go, Rust, Delphi, Qt, macOS, JavaScript, Android, and iOS. Drivers handle low-level OS communication, signing, deployment packaging, and version management on behalf of customers. Over 25+ years the company has accumulated 4M+ deployments worldwide and 500+ enterprise customers including Box, three AWS product teams, Island Enterprise Browser, Boxcryptor (Secomba), Mountain Duck (Iterate), MyWorkDrive (a sister product built on CBFS Connect and deployed across thousands of organizations), Sony, BlackBerry, Adobe, Absolute Software, and CenturyLink.

Revenue is generated through a mix of perpetual and subscription SDK licensing, tiered annual support and maintenance contracts, and subscriptions for the standalone Callback Drive applications. Go-to-market combines a product-led-growth model (free 30-day fully functional trial with direct download and free technical support during evaluation) with an enterprise sales motion for production deployments requiring quote-based pricing, dedicated engineering access, and guaranteed response SLAs. The company is bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent entity, and no subsidiaries, and operates as a horizontal developer-tools vendor serving software engineering teams, enterprise technology companies, and cloud storage providers.

Core offering

Callback Technologies (operating under the EldoS brand) develops and licenses a suite of SDK components that enable software developers to add virtual filesystems, filesystem filtering, transparent file encryption, file synchronization, cloud storage mounting, and network packet capture capabilities to their applications without writing kernel-mode driver code. The company pairs professionally developed and signed kernel-mode drivers with clean user-mode APIs available across .NET, C++, Java, Python, Go, Rust, Delphi, Qt, and JavaScript. It also ships standalone Callback Drive consumer/SMB applications that mount S3, Azure, SFTP, WebDAV, and NFS storage as local drives.

Product overview

Callback Technologies offers a suite of SDK components for adding system-level filesystem capabilities to applications without writing kernel-mode driver code. The core CBFS product line includes: CBFS Connect (virtual filesystems), CBFS Cloud (cloud storage mounting), CBFS Filter (filesystem filtering/monitoring), CBFS Encrypt (transparent file encryption), CBFS Sync (file synchronization), CBFS Vault (encrypted file containers), CBFS Shell (Windows Explorer extensions), and PCAP Filter (network packet capture). Additionally, the company offers standalone Callback Drive applications for Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, SFTP, WebDAV, and NFS. The architecture pairs professionally developed kernel-mode drivers with clean user-mode APIs available in .NET, C++, Java, Python, Go, Rust, Delphi, and Qt. CBFS Connect, CBFS Sync, CBFS Vault, and PCAP Filter support Windows, Linux, and macOS; CBFS Filter and CBFS Encrypt are Windows-only due to minifilter driver architecture; CBFS Vault also supports Android and iOS.

Direct peers

• Iterate (Mountain Duck): Builds Mountain Duck and Cyberduck for mounting cloud and remote storage (S3, SFTP, WebDAV, Azure) as local drives. Also an EldoS customer using CBFS Cloud, but operates comparable standalone products in the same category.
• MSP360 (CloudBerry Lab): Provides cloud storage management, backup, and drive-mounting tools for S3, Azure, and other backends. Overlaps with Callback Drive applications and CBFS Cloud in cloud-to-local drive integration scenarios.
• GoodSync: File synchronization and backup software with bidirectional sync across local drives, servers, and cloud storage. Directly comparable to CBFS Sync's functionality in cross-platform file synchronization.
• WinFsp (Dokan): Open-source FUSE-compatible filesystem layer for Windows. EldoS explicitly compares CBFS Connect to FUSE and Dokan, making this the most direct open-source substitute for the company's flagship virtual filesystem SDK.
• NetLib: Provides Encryptionizer for file, folder, and disk encryption at the kernel level. Competes directly with CBFS Encrypt in the transparent file encryption and access-control category.
• ExpanDrive: Maps cloud storage (S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SFTP, WebDAV) as local drives on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Directly competes with Callback Drive applications and the CBFS Cloud use case for cloud storage mounting.

Broad incumbents

• Dropbox (Boxcryptor): Acquired Boxcryptor, which was both an EldoS customer and a transparent file encryption product competing in the same encryption-for-cloud-storage category as CBFS Encrypt. Dropbox now bundles this capability into a much broader file-sync platform.
• Wireshark / libpcap: Open-source reference for network packet capture with the libpcap filter syntax that PCAP Filter is explicitly compatible with. EldoS positions PCAP Filter as a cross-platform, production-grade SDK wrapper around the same filter semantics.
• Microsoft (Windows Minifilter / IFS / Project Reunion): Provides the underlying Windows minifilter and Installable File System (IFS) platforms on which CBFS Filter and CBFS Encrypt are built, and ships first-party equivalents for many filesystem and shell-extension capabilities via Windows APIs and PowerToys.

Emerging players

• Pismo: File management and conversion platform serving developers and enterprises. Adjacent to EldoS's developer-tooling focus with overlap in file processing APIs, though Pismo emphasizes cloud-native application platforms rather than kernel-mode filesystem components.
