# ExpanDrive > The cloud, as a drive. Mount Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, SharePoint, SFTP, and more as native drives on macOS, Windows, and Linux. No sync. No clutter. Free for personal use. ExpanDrive is a desktop application from Files.com. You add a cloud connection once and it behaves like any other mounted drive in every app. The desktop client is free for personal use and for teams up to 10 users. ExpanDrive has been mounting clouds since 2004 and is now part of Files.com, with 60,000+ downloads per year. ## How it works Mount every cloud you use as a drive. They show up in Finder and Explorer next to your local folders, and every app on your computer can open them like any other file — Adobe, Office, the command line, all of it. FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, S3, and every major cloud are mounted as a native drive your apps already understand, with no new UI to learn. Connect every account and provider in one place and switch between them in a click. Transport is encrypted everywhere, with OAuth and SSH keys and zero passwords stored in plain text. On Windows, each connection gets its own drive letter. ## Mount, don't sync ExpanDrive integrates so deeply into macOS and Windows that the cloud disappears. Files stream on demand, so there's no multi-gigabyte mirror eating the disk you needed for actual work. Pin the files you want available offline, work on them disconnected, and sync back when you reconnect; supported backends keep versions. Drag a folder out of S3, into SharePoint, through Photoshop — the work flows, the friction doesn't. ## Server Edition ExpanDrive Server Edition runs as a headless service on Windows Server and Linux. Every cloud appears as a network filesystem to every user and every process on the machine — and on Windows, you can re-share it as SMB to your whole network. It mounts at boot, unattended, under any service account; you can push a single drive set to every device on a license key and update once; and the `exfs` CLI drives everything from cron, systemd, PowerShell, or CI. ## Pricing ExpanDrive is free forever for personal use — every cloud service, every OS, no trial. Step up to Business when your team needs Server Edition, the Web Management Console, and priority support: a flat fee for the whole team, up to 10 users. Enterprise adds volume licensing, a 30-minute SLA, and dedicated support for scaling beyond ten users. ## Frequently asked questions **What cloud storage services does ExpanDrive support?** Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, IDrive e2, Nextcloud, Google Cloud Storage, and the SFTP, FTP, and WebDAV protocols. **What operating systems does ExpanDrive run on?** macOS, Windows, and Linux. **Is ExpanDrive really free?** Yes — free forever for personal use, on every cloud and every OS. Teams move to the Business tier (up to 10 users) for Server Edition, the Web Management Console, and priority support. **What's the difference between mounting a cloud drive and syncing one?** A mount streams files on demand and shows them in Finder or Explorer without keeping a full local copy; syncing downloads a complete mirror to disk. ExpanDrive mounts, with optional offline pinning for the files you choose. **Can I work offline?** Yes. Pin the files you need offline, work on them disconnected, and ExpanDrive syncs them back when you reconnect. ## Platforms - [Mac](https://www.expandrive.com/mac): Mount any cloud as a drive in Finder on macOS. - [Windows](https://www.expandrive.com/windows): Mount any cloud as a drive letter in File Explorer on Windows. - [Linux](https://www.expandrive.com/linux): Mount any cloud as a drive in the file manager on Linux. - [Download](https://www.expandrive.com/download): Download ExpanDrive for macOS, Windows, and Linux. ## Cloud integrations - [Amazon S3](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/amazon-s3): Mount an S3 bucket as a drive. - [SFTP](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/sftp): Mount an SFTP server as a drive. - [OneDrive](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/onedrive): Mount OneDrive as a drive. - [OneDrive for Business](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/onedrive-business): Mount OneDrive for Business as a drive. - [SharePoint](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/sharepoint): Mount a SharePoint document library as a drive. - [Google Drive](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/google-drive): Mount Google Drive as a drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux. - [Google Cloud Storage](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/google-cloud-storage): Mount a Google Cloud Storage bucket as a drive. - [Box](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/box): Mount Box as a drive. - [Dropbox](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/dropbox): Mount Dropbox as a drive. - [Backblaze B2](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/backblaze-b2): Mount a Backblaze B2 bucket as a drive. - [Wasabi](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/wasabi): Mount a Wasabi bucket as a drive. - [IDrive e2](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/idrive-e2): Mount an IDrive e2 bucket as a drive. - [Nextcloud](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/nextcloud): Mount Nextcloud as a drive. - [WebDAV](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/webdav): Mount a WebDAV server as a drive. - [FTP](https://www.expandrive.com/integrations/ftp): Mount an FTP server as a drive. ## Server and teams - [Server Edition](https://www.expandrive.com/server): Mount clouds unattended at boot on Windows Server and Linux, and re-share mounts over SMB. - [Enterprise](https://www.expandrive.com/enterprise): IT deployment, identity, and fleet management. - [Pricing](https://www.expandrive.com/pricing): Plans, and what is free. - [StrongSync](https://www.expandrive.com/strongsync): APFS-native macOS sync engine (built on Apple's File Provider extension, no kernel extension), now standard in ExpanDrive. ## Comparisons - [ExpanDrive vs Mountain Duck](https://www.expandrive.com/compare/mountain-duck) - [ExpanDrive vs CloudMounter](https://www.expandrive.com/compare/cloudmounter) - [ExpanDrive vs NetDrive](https://www.expandrive.com/compare/netdrive) - [ExpanDrive vs Cloud Drive Mapper](https://www.expandrive.com/compare/cloud-drive-mapper) - [ExpanDrive vs Files.com](https://www.expandrive.com/compare/expandrive-vs-files-com): When the mount-as-a-drive desktop client fits versus the Files.com platform. ## About - [Security](https://www.expandrive.com/security): How ExpanDrive handles credentials and data. - [About](https://www.expandrive.com/about): ExpanDrive's story — mounting clouds since 2004, now part of Files.com. - [Now free](https://www.expandrive.com/now-free): Why ExpanDrive is free for solo users and teams up to 10. - [Blog](https://www.expandrive.com/blog): Guides on mounting cloud storage as a drive across macOS, Windows, and Linux. ## Optional - [Contact](https://www.expandrive.com/contact): Reach ExpanDrive support. - [Migrate to Files.com](https://www.expandrive.com/migrating-from-expandrive-to-files.com): The upgrade path for teams that have outgrown the desktop client. - [Terms](https://www.expandrive.com/legal/terms) - [Privacy](https://www.expandrive.com/legal/privacy)
