Completely free for personal use. No hidden costs, no compromises.

What is ExpanDrive?

ExpanDrive is a desktop application that connects remote cloud storage to your local file system. It works silently in the background to give you real-time, filesystem-level access to services like these:

Amazon S3

Google Drive

Dropbox

OneDrive

Backblaze B2

SFTP/FTP servers

WebDAV and more

It’s perfect for individual users, developers, creatives, and small teams who want fast access to remote files – without syncing or opening a web app.

  • You want to work with remote files without syncing or downloading
  • You’re a developer or creative managing assets across multiple services
  • You don’t need shared user access, workflow automation, or audit logs

It’s a lightweight tool that does one thing very well: make remote storage feel local.
