AllDrives

Free during beta — macOS 14 or later

Every cloud, an ordinary folder in Finder — and answerable by AI.

S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, Backblaze, SFTP, the NAS in your cupboard. They sit in Finder's sidebar and open like any other folder — and Claude can search, tidy and move things across all of them at once. No account, and no server of ours in the middle.

Most apps that unify cloud storage put a service of their own in the middle. That middle is where your files would be readable, where a breach would matter, and where a subscription would come from. AllDrives does not have one.

Model Context Protocol

Your files, answerable.

AllDrives keeps one index spanning every cloud you have connected, so an assistant can answer questions about all of them at once — reading metadata rather than pulling gigabytes.

Nothing by default

Granted one drive at a time, and reading is a separate decision from writing. A drive you have not shared is invisible.

Undo what it did

Every change an assistant makes records how to reverse it. A write that replaced something keeps what was there.

Plan before doing

Assistants can build a whole change set as a dry run and show it to you before a single file moves.

A spending limit

Providers bill for downloads. There is a ceiling per session, so nothing runs up a bill while you are away.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and anything else that speaks MCP. AllDrives installs a short guide for it too, so an assistant knows that reading a file means downloading it.

No disk to mount, nothing to sync

Every cloud, as an ordinary folder.

No disk to mount, nothing to sync, no separate app to open. Connect a drive and it is in the sidebar next to iCloud Drive — and everything that reads a folder can read it.

01 — CONNECT

Your keys go straight from this Mac to your provider. AllDrives walks you through the ones needing a console visit, with links that land on the exact page.

02 — IT APPEARS

In the sidebar, beside iCloud Drive. Search it, drag into it, rename things, open it from any app's Open dialog.

03 — FILES ON DEMAND

A terabyte costs nothing here until you open something. "Free up space" turns files back into placeholders.

Encrypted drives

Storage your provider cannot read.

Google and Amazon can read what you keep with them — they hold the keys. For most files that is fine. For tax documents, contracts and client work, it may not be.

An encrypted drive is a folder on a cloud you already use, mounted in Finder as its own drive. Anything you put in it is encrypted on your Mac before it is uploaded. Your provider stores the result and cannot open it — not the contents, and not the names of the files.

In Finder it behaves like any other folder. The encryption happens on the way out and the decryption on the way back, and you never see either.

There is no recovery.

Lose the passphrase and those files are gone — not recoverable by us, and not by your provider, because nobody else ever has the key. That is exactly what makes it worth having. AllDrives asks you to confirm you have saved it before it will create the drive.

Things that only work when everything is in one place.

Search every cloud at once

One field across all of them. Finder cannot do this, because Finder does not know they are related.

Duplicates across providers

The same file in Drive and in S3, found by matching size and name — then confirmed by fingerprint from both ends before anything is deleted.

Move between clouds

Send a file from one provider to another without downloading it by hand and dragging it back up.

Spotlight

⌘Space finds files that live in a cloud and have never touched this Mac. Off until you turn it on.

Everything the app keeps, and where.

AllDrives shows you this list too, and opens each file in Finder so you can check rather than take our word for it.

WHAT WHERE
Your cloud sign-ins encrypted · key in your Keychain
Names, sizes and dates of files you have browsed a local index · no file contents
Files you have actually opened ~/Library/CloudStorage
Anything on a server of ours none — there is no server
Analytics, telemetry or crash reporting — in the app none

The app makes exactly one request of its own: a check for a newer version. It carries no identifier, nothing about your drives and nothing about your files. Being straight about the limits — any request reveals an IP address, and this website does use analytics, unlike the app.

What it does not protect against: something already running as you on this Mac could read the Keychain too. No app that reconnects on its own can do better, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.

Free during beta

Questions

Is this just a mounted disk? +
No. It uses the same macOS mechanism iCloud Drive does, so files appear in Finder as placeholders and download only when opened. Nothing is mounted, nothing breaks when you close your laptop, and a drive with a terabyte in it takes no space here.
What happens to my files if I stop using it? +
Nothing. Your files live in your own cloud accounts and always did — AllDrives never holds them. Remove the app and everything is still exactly where it was, reachable the way you reached it before.
Why does connecting Google Drive take a few minutes? +
Because there is no middleman account to grant access on your behalf. The permission has to belong to you, which means a short visit to Google's console. AllDrives walks you through it with links that land on the exact page. It is a one-time cost of not having a server in the middle.
What does it cost after the beta? +
A one-time payment, not a subscription — there is no server to pay for, so there is nothing to bill you monthly for. Beta users get an early-bird discount when pricing launches.
Is my data used to train anything? +
It cannot be. Your files never reach us — there is nowhere for them to go. If you connect an assistant, it reads your drives locally through AllDrives, one drive at a time and only where you have granted it, with every request logged where you can read it.
