LinuxFirst-class Linux desktop client

The cloud drive that actually runs on Linux.

Google has no Linux client. Microsoft has no Linux client. Box has no Linux client. ExpanDrive does — mount every major cloud as a native drive on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS. The only commercial cloud-drive product with Linux as a first-class platform.

— What you get

Linux as a first-class citizen, not an afterthought.

Same product as Mac and Windows. Same UX, same cache model, same OAuth flow. No reduced feature set, no community fork, no compromises.

Native .deb and .rpm packages.

Signed apt and yum repositories for automatic updates. Install through your package manager on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, and AlmaLinux. No tarballs, no compiling, no Wine, no Mono.

Standard Linux mount point.

Every cloud appears at a standard FUSE-style mount path. GNOME Files, Dolphin, Thunar, Vim, VS Code, Terminal, rsync, Git — every Linux app sees the cloud as the filesystem. No special integration required.

Stream on demand.

No multi-gigabyte local mirror. ExpanDrive streams files when you open them and caches what you actually use. Pin folders for offline access; everything else stays in the cloud.

Same product as Mac and Windows.

One ExpanDrive, three operating systems. Same UX, same connection setup, same cache model, same OAuth flow. Your license covers all three platforms — mount the same clouds on every machine you use.

— Cloud-by-cloud Linux story

Where the big-name desktops leave Linux out.

Four major clouds with no first-party Linux client. ExpanDrive fills each gap and ships a dedicated page on the case for each one.

— Distros

Every major Linux distribution, packaged properly.

Signed apt and yum repositories. Native packages, not tarballs. Updates through your package manager — the way Linux is supposed to work.

Ubuntu

20.04, 22.04, 24.04 LTS — .deb packages and a signed apt repository.

Debian

Debian 11 and 12 — same .deb packages, same signed apt repo.

Fedora

Fedora 38, 39, 40 — .rpm packages and a signed yum / dnf repository.

RHEL

RHEL 8 and 9, plus binary-compatible Rocky, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux.

CentOS

CentOS Stream 9 — the same .rpm packages that target RHEL 9.

Other

Most distros that install .deb or .rpm packages work — ExpanDrive doesn't need exotic kernel modules.

— Common questions

Linux on ExpanDrive.

Distros, headless boxes, FUSE, desktop environments, and how the same Linux build handles fifteen different clouds.

Because Linux developers, sysadmins, data engineers, and ML teams keep their working files in cloud storage too — and the rest of the industry has been ignoring them. Google, Microsoft, and Box all ship Mac and Windows desktop clients and treat Linux as an afterthought. ExpanDrive's Linux build has been first-class since 2017, with its own QA, its own packaging, and signed repositories. It's the same product on every OS.

ExpanDrive is built by Files.com.

The cloud connectors mounting your drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux are the same ones that run on Files.com's high-performance cloud File Orchestration Platform — used by 4,000+ businesses including Equifax, Rag & Bone, Cognizant, and Michelin, where petabytes of data move every month.
