ExpanDrive Reviews & Product Details

ExpanDrive ends the frustration of juggling multiple cloud accounts and clunky sync tools. In today’s world, files are scattered across Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SharePoint, S3, and even legacy servers. Each has its own app or web portal, forcing you to waste time downloading, syncing, and duplicating files. The result? Chaos, wasted disk space, and slower workflows. ExpanDrive solves this by mounting your cloud storage directly on your desktop. Every service — from Google Drive and Dropbox to S3, SharePoint, and SFTP — appears as a drive in Finder or Explorer. No more switching apps or logging into portals. Your files simply show up where you expect them, ready to open, edit, and save from any application. Unlike traditional sync clients, ExpanDrive doesn’t force you to download everything or clog your hard drive. Instead, it streams files on demand while letting you choose specific items to cache for offline use. Behind the scenes, ExpanDrive’s fast transfer engine ensures reliability with large files, complex folders, and long-running operations. Security comes standard, with encrypted connections and trusted authentication like OAuth and SSH keys. Whether you’re a freelancer managing client projects, a small business streamlining collaboration, or an IT pro mounting servers, ExpanDrive adapts to your workflow. And with its freemium model, anyone can get started for free — then upgrade for background sync, advanced transfers, and team features. ExpanDrive brings simplicity, freedom, and speed to cloud storage. One interface. Every provider. Zero chaos.

Last updated: Nov 01, 2026

What is ExpanDrive, and what problem is it built to solve?

The support experience is mixed: users describe helpful, quick assistance in some cases, while others report slow or unanswered requests. Where support succeeds, it can help resolve setup or download issues; the reports of difficulty getting a response are worth weighing as well.

More dependable transfers and syncing: Make file changes and upload status clearer, and reduce missed updates or interruptions.

"Expandrive is amazing!!"

5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

I have connected both my Microsoft OneDrive and my Google drive, they both mounted in Linux Mint and the drives are right on my desktop and work as a native drive would, this will free up my hard drive and all of my data will be safe on one of my two connected drives. I also want to state that the connection speed is amazing, I cannot tell the difference between the native drive and the online drives, the speed is the same! I cannot say enough about this app and their support team is very responsive!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

I have not found one thing I dislike so far, everything is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

If you are on the fence about purchasing this, don't be! I am very pleased with every aspect of this software and would recommend it to anyone thinking about installing, configuring and using this should. I am an IT manager with 20 years of experience and I have not seen a competing product that can come close to this. My version of Linux Mint installed and configured very easily, all I had to do is pick my cloud drive and login, the drives setup instantly and I was able to access them as I would a local drive or USB memory stick. This is an excellent product that installs easily, runs beautifully and is super fast! Great support too, I chatted using the chat function and explained I was having trouble getting a download to work, in an instant they provided a link that worked and I had it installed and configured in the next few minutes...I cannot say enough about the great support! Thank you ExpanDrive!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

I could not get the download to work, so I hit up the chat tech, they sent me a link that worked and then emailed me the chat. I was able to download from the new link and had my drives setup in 10 minutes! Great support, the best I have encountered and I am an IT manager, so I interface with lots of support teams!

"The one to rule them all"

5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

I love ultra-fast synchronisation, ability to connect as many accounts as I want and offline selective sync, which is great especially in case of Google Drive without GSuite access. Moreover, the fact that all apps are seeing any drive as physically mounted is unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

I've found connecting Google Drive difficult at first – due to some error app crashed while mounting my Google Drive. After reboot this problem disappeared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

Choose ExpanDrive if you have many accounts in many different cloud services or you often work with files "live". Selective sync, and fast sync is the thing that you need, and ExpanDrive will give it to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

With ExpanDrive I can access all my project files via SFTP and Amazon S3 without using software like FileZilla. What is more, I can edit code files (HTML, CSS, JS) without making copies of them. After finishing coding, files are seamlessly transmitted to the origin server and changes I've made are visible instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Solution for Small Business Needs!"

5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

ExpanDrive has been a wonderful solution for my photography business, allowing me to better manage my storage considering that my Mac has a SSD Hard Drive with VERY limited storage space! I have priced out NAS solutions starting around $500 at least, and am so happy that I found this instead! I love that it also grows with me, so as I change to different storage sites ExpanDrive stays ahead of the game to make them available! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

The set up took a little bit of time, but once it was completed I gained access to my DropBox and Google Drive folders without having to use up as much local storage! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

They offer a 7 Day trial which is what I used to evaluate my needs before purchasing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is now working as my storage solution for my small business, and I am able to work on multiple projects without having to worry about moving things or downloading/uploading taking time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

I can't recommend ExpanDrive and actually I would recommend to avoid this software! You can lose your files! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. You don't see if your local folder synced completely with Google Drive. You can't find some your files and you start to copy once again.. 2. Very often huge problems with access! You can't delete files! You can't save files during editing! 3. Support.. It is another nightmare story! They are welcome you immediately by email after buying and asking you feedback about software but they not answering on your emails :)) Online support promising you priority support and disappear for days... Actually they even not comeback :)) I am distributor of software and developer of own software as well but This support the most awful support which I have been seen before! I have lost some files and I have chaos on my google drives. I am spending my time for recovering to previous state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Option for Google Drive Unlimited"

5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

This allows me to mount my GDrive without sacrificing my own PC resources for my files. It is one of the best programs that I have seen out there for this type of thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

The only thing I can really complain about is that when it starts it launches 7 different windows of explorer for each of the attached drives. But that is really not Expandrive, it's just how Windows operates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

Make sure to have your login handy because 3x on OneDrive wrong will lock you out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having over 20TB of data on my Google Drive, it was impossible for me to use their Sync software to the fullest and see all of my files. This way I can see all my files but not have to download them to my own PC to work with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ExpanDrive allows you to manage all the storage accounts in the cloud in its interface"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

ExpanDrive has a simple and responsive user interface. I like that I have the ability to program and automate data transfers. It is also excellent to work with the best cloud storage services such as Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive, Box, and others. It is also a less expensive solution than other programs and customer support is 5 stars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

I have inconveniences configuring an FTP connection, as it does not connect to the selected server. However, I do not know if it is a problem with ports or if the program is blocking access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

ExpanDrive will allow you access to all your accounts without the need for confusing configurations or additional applications. It has a user interface that is easy to use and quick to move files between different folders. The customer support service is very attentive. I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

ExpanDrive allows me to connect all cloud storage accounts in the company and manage them all through the program. It benefits me by saving me the time of logging into each account, or by the simple fact of having to install the software of each service in order to manage the files.

"The new Linux release of ExpanDrive is a fantastic alternative to OneDrive for Business"

5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

ExpandDrive offers a service which Microsoft currently does not offer - ExpanDrive allows you to mount your OneDrive and OneDrive for Business files to your local hard drive **ON LINUX**. Microsoft has not offered a native client for this yet for Linux, so this makes me very grateful for ExpanDrive. It so far has proven extremely useful for some of my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

It is very helpful that I can mount different SharePoint document libraries - however, I have noticed that for very large document libraries it takes a while for my Linux machine too enumerate all of the files. I'm not using a very high powered computer at the moment, but it appears for very large document libraries that a lot of system resources are dedicated to this. In all fairness this is to be expected. They have a github page that I came across, I'm not sure if there is anything useful there as I did not read into it too much. Just mentioning in case somebody wants to look at this themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

The team seems very open to discussion. If this is for use in an enterprise I recommend reaching out to their team directly for any questions (compliance, security, administration, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

ExpanDrive allows me to mount OneDrive and OneDrive for Business document libraries. I can also mount SharePoint libraries as well, including all of my subsites. This is largely beneficial as ExpanDrive is the only solution I have seen offered for doing this on a Linux host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The ULTIMATE solution not only for Windows... finally Linux, your time has arrived!"

5/5

What do you like best about ExpanDrive?

Plug-and-play solution with a near limitless range of services connected including SFTP etc., in addition to the breathtaking range of commercial services. Embeds seamlessly with your existing file browser and allows for migrating files between cloud accounts and in and out of the machine. It only downloads what you need, so you won't be flooded out (like many Open Source solutions do, unless you spend forever itemizing which folders to synchronize). While the price is higher than most in this field (at time of writing USD $49.95 per user) it is so worth it - one license covers all your account connecting machines (licensing is per user account) across all supported platforms and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExpanDrive?

We have found absolutely nothing to dislike (although if they generously decide to make it all for free, even better - for us!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ExpanDrive:

You can spend a long time looking for the perfect fit, but ExpanDrive ticks so many boxes it feels as close as you will ever get, and still being improved year on year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ExpanDrive solving and how is that benefiting you?

So many solutions only part work, or work intermittently (especially under Linux/UNIX), or you need multiple softwares to cover multiple file storage services - we were looking for a single solution that made it possible to always access numerous cloud and remote / local storage types, and that's exactly what we found... if you don't believe it take the free trial license and see (even after it expires you get 20 mins use each time it runs, but for the affordable price you really should just buy it!).

ExpanDrive acts just like a USB drive plugged into your computer. Open, edit, and save files to remote computers from within your favorite programs???even when they are on a server half a world away.
