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.
Why Use ExpanDrive?
Even though ExpanDrive is limited, it shines when:
- You need quick, personal access to cloud files from the desktop
- 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.
