Drivebase

Unified file manager for all your cloud storage with E2EE

Website drivebase.io
Overview

What it is

Drivebase is an open-source, cloud-agnostic file manager that lets you organize, upload, share, and collaborate on files across multiple providers from one interface. With Vault, its end-to-end encryption feature, your files are encrypted before they leave your device so only you can access them. Connect Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, or OneDrive, manage a unified folder structure, choose storage per file, and stay fully in control with a self-hosted, privacy-first setup free from vendor lock-in.

Intent

I need it when

Manage files across multiple storage locations with keyboard-first productivity and power-user workflows

Drivebase offers Vim-style keyboard navigation, command palette, scriptable macros, multi-window tiling, unified fuzzy search across all drives, and bulk file operations—enabling power users to work without touching the mouse and automate repetitive tasks.

Consolidate access to multiple cloud storage providers and local drives in a single unified interface

Drivebase connects 12+ providers (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze, iCloud, Box, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, MinIO) through native protocols, allowing users to work with all storage types side-by-side in one workspace without sync folders or local duplication.

Transfer large files or datasets between cloud providers and local storage efficiently without writing scripts

Drivebase's transfer engine supports parallel chunking, resumable transfers, per-provider rate limiting, and bulk operations (rename, hash verify, conflict resolve, dedupe). Users can drag files between providers like local folders and automate nightly transfers via TypeScript macros.

Ensure data privacy and security when accessing cloud storage with end-to-end encryption

Drivebase provides optional client-side AES-256 encryption where keys never touch servers, credentials stored in OS keychain, and telemetry off by default. Pro tier unlocks E2E encryption for users requiring privacy-first workflows.

Replace multiple specialized tools (Finder, Cyberduck, Transmit) with a single unified file manager

Drivebase consolidates local file management, cloud storage access, and remote server connections into one desktop application with a modern interface, eliminating the need for separate tools while maintaining desktop-class performance and features.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires a web-based file manager without desktop installation
  • User needs automatic sync folders rather than streaming access to remote storage
  • User operates on unsupported platforms (not macOS 12+, Windows 10+, or Linux x86_64/arm64)
  • User requires team collaboration features that are still in development (Team tier marked 'Coming soon')
  • User needs a simple, non-technical file manager without keyboard-first or scriptable automation workflows
