ExpanDrive

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.

Google Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage is a managed service for storing unstructured data, like videos and documents. It is most commonly used for data lakes for analytics, storing AI data, or web hosting. With Cloud Storage you can store any amount of data, and retrieve it as often as you like. New customers can use $300 in free credits to try Cloud Storage. All customers get 5 GiB of US regional storage free per month, not charged against your credits. If you’re a consumer or business looking for file sharing, check out Workspace products like Google Drive (https://workspace.google.com/products/drive/).
