Turn your Files.com cloud into a local drive for Mac or Windows apps.
Install the Files.com Desktop App once, and every storage backend you have connected shows up as a single drive in Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder. SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Azure Blob, your on-premise file servers — all of it, in one place. You open, edit, and save files the same way you handle anything else on your computer.
This clears away the clunky pile of tools people use to reach the cloud from a desktop: the FTP clients that stall on big files, the maze of per-vendor sync apps that scatter shadow files, the WebDAV mounts that barely work, and the aging file server in the closet. One app replaces all of it, and the people who use it never have to learn a new interface.
We have done this longer than anyone. Files.com owns ExpanDrive, which has mounted cloud and remote storage as a desktop drive since 2004 — longer than Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive. We helped create this category, and we lead it. See what each plan includes on the pricing page.
The app works three ways, and the right one depends on what you are doing. Most days you will live in Mounted Drive Mode; reach for the other two when the job calls for it.
Files.com shows up as a normal drive in Finder or File Explorer. Files stream in when you open them, so they behave like local files without filling up your disk. Double-click to open, Save-As writes straight back to the cloud. No forced background sync, no shadow files.
A high-speed drag-and-drop window for moving large files and big batches fast, with resumable transfers and smart retry. It is two to five times faster than third-party SFTP and FTP clients, so it replaces the old FTP clients people use for multi-terabyte media libraries and archives.
Keeps a folder on your desktop and a folder in the cloud matched, moving only the files that changed. It is built to handle very large folders reliably, and it is for the times you genuinely want a synced local copy rather than streaming on demand.
The app installs into the file manager you already use, so there is nothing new to learn. On the go, the Files.com mobile app gives you the same access from your phone.
Your cloud appears as a volume in macOS Finder. Browse, open, edit, and save exactly the way you handle local files. There is no separate app window to learn.
Your cloud appears as a drive letter in Windows File Explorer. Every standard file operation works: upload, download, open, move, rename, and delete, right from the file manager you already use.
Whatever storage you have linked to Files.com shows up as one native file system. No per-service client to juggle, no figuring out where a file actually went.
Reach your SharePoint document libraries as part of the same drive.
Your OneDrive folders show up alongside everything else, no separate client.
Google Drive and Workspace files appear in the same native file system.
Open and edit S3 objects like ordinary files, with no console or extra tool.
Azure Blob containers mount into the same drive as everything else.
Box content sits next to your other clouds in one place.
The app looks simple on the surface, but the same controls that run the rest of Files.com run behind it.
Open a file from the mounted drive in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, AutoCAD, or SketchUp. Your edits save back to the source cloud. There is no download-edit-upload cycle.
Opening a file through the mapped drive sets a lock the Desktop App and the Files.com web editors respect, so two people do not overwrite each other on a shared cloud file.
The app runs on the same transfer engine as the Files.com CLI and SDKs, so anything you do by hand in the app, your team can automate in code with identical behavior.
The Files.com Agent bridges your existing file servers and NAS into Files.com, so an old server is reachable from any laptop through the same drive, without ripping out the hardware.
Push the app with GPO and ADMX templates, Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, or SCCM. Silent installs and zero-touch automatic updates are managed from the admin console.
Every action runs through the Files.com control plane, so single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, role-based access, audit logging, and retention rules apply no matter where the file physically lives.
Download the app, sign in, and your cloud shows up as a drive in Finder or File Explorer in minutes. Or start a free trial and connect your storage first.
