ExpanDrive

Mount cloud storage as a drive on Mac, Windows and Linux

Visit ExpanDrive

ExpanDrive is a desktop application that mounts cloud storage accounts and file protocols as native drives on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Files stream on demand rather than syncing to disk, so remote storage appears in Finder and Explorer alongside local folders and can be opened by any application that handles files.

It supports fifteen providers and protocols, including Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, iDrive e2, Google Cloud Storage, Nextcloud, SFTP, FTP, and WebDAV. Connections use TLS in transit, with credentials stored in the OS keychain and OAuth 2.0 for supported providers. Features include smart offline caching, per-connection drive letters on Windows, and unified management of multiple accounts. Server Edition runs as a headless service on Windows Server and Linux, with SMB re-sharing, fleet configuration, and a scriptable CLI (exfs).

ExpanDrive is free for personal use and for teams up to 10 users or devices. A Business plan covers up to 10 users and adds Server Edition, a web management console, team configuration sharing, and priority support, with stackable add-ons for additional devices. Enterprise offers custom volume licensing, SAML SSO, audit logs, advanced RBAC, and dedicated support.
